Preoperative Lymphocyte-To-Monocyte Ratio as a Prognostic Predictor of Long-term Mortality Among Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis Based on a 4-year Follow-up Cohort
Abstract:BackgroundCardiac surgery is associated with a specific inflammatory response. The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) has been shown to be related to the prognosis of many cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the preoperative LMR in patients who underwent cardiac surgery.MethodsClinical data were extracted from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care (MIMIC)-III database. The optimum cutoff value of the LMR for 4-year mortality was determined by X-tile softw… Show more
