platelet-lymphocyte ratio in prediction of outcome of acute heart failure.
Biomarkers in Medicine 2018 January
AIM: To examine the role of the ratios of platelet or neutrophil to lymphocyte count (PLR or NLR) in predicting hospital death and long-term mortality in acute heart failure (AHF). Methods & materials: The records of 554 admissions from 354 patients discharged from VAWNY with AHF between 2011 and 2015 were reviewed. The associations between admission PLR or NLR and hospital and long-term mortality were assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses.
RESULTS: PLR was similar regarding hospital mortality. Long-term mortality was higher in the third tertile PLR (PLR >210; p = 0.034). Neither PLR nor NLR was an independent predictor of mortality.
CONCLUSION: Although higher PLR was associated with long-term mortality, it failed to independently predict the prognosis of AHF.
