Why the study?
Are elevated NPAR, NLR, and PLR associated with long-term mortality in community-dwelling adults with heart failure?
Are elevated NPAR, NLR, and PLR associated with long-term mortality in community-dwelling adults with heart failure?
Elevated NPAR and NLR are associated with increased all-cause mortality in heart failure patients, but have low predictive value on their own.
Elevated NPAR and NLR may flag higher mortality risk in community HF; leaves open their added value beyond standard models.
In conclusion, elevated NPAR and NLR but not PLR are independently associated with increased all-cause mortality among community-dwelling individuals with HF. However, the predictive performance of NPAR and NLR alone on mortality was low.
