GLR was associated with 30-day AMI mortality; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Does the glucose to lymphocyte ratio (GLR) predict 30-day mortality in acute myocardial infarction patients?
The glucose to lymphocyte ratio has a non-linear relationship with 30-day mortality in AMI patients, with a positive association below a threshold of 4.66.
Luo et al. (2022) studied this question.
