Predictive Value of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio for Disease Deterioration and Serious Adverse Outcomes in Patients with COVID-19: A Prospective Cohort Study
Abstract:Background: Early identification of patients who are at high risk of poor clinical outcomes is of great important in saving lives for patients with the novel corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in context of limited medical resources. Objective: To evaluate value of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), calculated at hospital admission and in isolation, for prediction of the subsequent presence of disease aggravation and serious clinical outcomes (e.g., shock, death).Methods: We designed a prospective coh… Show more
