“…Several data highlight the relation of elevated NLR and worse outcomes in oncology patients [19] [20], while others emphasize the correlation of an increased NLR to worst outcomes and adverse effects in specific clinical conditions such as acute coronary syndromes or acute pancreatitis [21] [22].…”

“…[8] Although several studies have explored the utility of NLR in the diagnosis and prognosis of inflammatory and malignant diseases, very rarely has NLR been used in the diagnosis of AMI. [9][10][11] In the present study, the diagnostic capacity of NLR was evaluated and compared to traditional parameters in such patients.…”

BACKGROUND: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) remains fatal in 50-70% of cases. AMI is recognized as a vascular emergency, requiring rapid and efficient clinical evaluation and treatment. In the present retrospective study, the possible utility of the neutrophillymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the early diagnosis of AMI was explored. The potential use of this ratio to distinguish AMI from non-vascular bowel necrosis (NVBN) was investigated.

“…The authors of another study stated that NLR measured at the time of admission to the hospital due to acute decompensated heart failure was associated with 30-day mortality and it could be used for risk classification [17]. Again, Suliman et al [18] found that increasing quartile of NLR was associated with increased mortality and Azab et al [19] found that NLR was associated with admission to ICU and prolonged hospitalization in the patients with acute pancreatitis. Following from these research studies, in our study we investigated the association between NLR measured at the time of admission to ICU of the patients followed up with a diagnosis of sepsis in the ICU and the mortality rate of patients with sepsis; no correlation was found.…”

NLR quartillere ayrıldığında NLR quartilleri arttıkça YBÜ'sinde mortalite oranı artmakla birlikte quartiller arasında mortalite yönünden anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır (tüm p>0.05). Hastalar 6 ay sonu mortalite yönünden değer-lendirildiğinde NLR ile arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı (p>0.05). Tartışma: Çalışmamızda sepsis hastalarında NLR ile YBÜ'sindeki mortalite oranı ve uzun dönem mortalite oranı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Anahtar KelimelerNötrofil Lenfosit Oranı; Sepsis; Mortalite AbstractAim: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an easily measurable biomarker from complete blood count. NLR has been investigated previously as a potential predictor of survival rates in various types of cancers. However, there is a limited number of studies performed regarding the usefulness of NLR for predicting mortality in patients with sepsis. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the association between NLR and mortality of the patients with sepsis in an intensive care unit (ICU). Material and Method: We retrospectively assessed the patients who were followed up with the diagnosis of sepsis in the internal medicine ICU of our hospital between September 1, 2014and December 31, 2015. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were obtained from the patients' medical records. Results: A total of 104 patients were included in the study. ICU mortality was 57.7% in patients with sepsis.When survivors and non-survivors in theICU were assessed regarding neutrophil counts, lymphocyte counts, and NLR, no statistically significant difference was determined (p>0.05). While the mortality rate in ICU increased with increasing quartile of NLR, no significant difference was determined in ICU mortality (all p>0.05). Also there was no relationship between NLR and hospital mortality and 6-months mortality in patients with sepsis (p>0.05).Discussion: No significant correlation was found between NLR and mortality rate in the ICU and long-term mortality in patients with sepsis.
