The association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and mortality in critical illness: an observational cohort study

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

The NLR is associated with outcomes in unselected critically ill patients. In patients with sepsis, there was no statistically significant relationship between NLR and mortality. Further investigation is required to increase understanding of the pathophysiology of this relationship and to validate these findings with data collected prospectively.
