The Clinical Value of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio for Predicting Hematoma Expansion and Poor Outcomes in Patients with Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Abstract:There is little knowledge of the effect of inflammatory markers on the prognoses of hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). We evaluated the impact of neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on HE and worse outcomes after acute ICH. This study included 520 consecutive patients with ICH from the registry database enrolled over 80 months. Patients’ whole blood samples were collected upon arrival in the emergency department. Brain computed tomography s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
