All Cause Mortality

The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) to predict all-cause mortality in patients presenting with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Three hundred consecutive patients with acute PE between March 2016 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. We identified 191 patients who met the study inclusion criteria. Twenty-eight patients died during the study period. There was a significant difference in PLR, but not NLR, between patients with low risk, submassive, and massive risk PE ( P = .02 and P = .58, respectively, by the Kruskal-Wallis test). Elevated NLR and PLR were associated with all-cause mortality ( P < .01 and P < .01, respectively). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio of 5.46 was associated with all-cause mortality with sensitivity of 75.0% and specificity of 66.9% (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.692 [95% confidence interval, CI]: 0.568-0.816); P < .01). Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio of 256.6 was associated with all-cause mortality with sensitivity of 53.6% and specificity of 82.2% (AUC: 0.693 [95% CI: 0.580-0.805]; P < .01). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and PLR are simple biomarkers that are readily available from routine laboratory values and may be useful components of PE risk prediction models.

The Relationship

Background: The indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric cancer are based on preoperative histological assessment; however, examination of tissue biopsy is not always reliable as only a limited portion of the lesion can be obtained. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are markers of inflammatory response and are potentially associated with the grade of malignancy in gastric cancer. We aimed to investigate the association between NLR and PLR and the histology of gastric cancer. Methods: This study included 218 patients who underwent ESD for gastric cancer. The relationship between NLR/PLR and histological diagnosis was investigated. Results: Patients with adenocarcinomas showed significantly higher NLR and PLR than those with adenomas (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively). Further, patients with undifferentiated adenocarcinoma showed a significantly higher NLR (p < 0.05) than those with differentiated adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: This study suggests that NLR could be a useful marker for assessing early gastric cancer.

The Relationship

Background. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are markers for systemic inflammation condition. Although NLR has emerged as a risk factor for poor survival in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, the relationship between PLR and mortality is still unknown. We aimed to explore the interaction of NLR and PLR in predicting mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Method. We enrolled 360 HD patients for a 71-month follow-up. The endpoint was all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between factors and NLR or PLR. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional analysis were used to assess the prognostic value of NLR and PLR. Results. NLR was positively correlated with neutrophil and negatively correlated with lymphocyte, hemoglobin, and serum albumin. PLR was positively correlated with neutrophil and platelet and negatively correlated with lymphocyte and hemoglobin. In multivariate Cox regression, a higher NLR level was independently associated with all-cause mortality (OR 2.011, 95% CI 1.082-3.74, p = 0.027 ), while a higher PLR level might predict CV mortality (OR 2.768, 95% CI 1.147-6.677, p = 0.023 ) in HD patients. Conclusion. NLR and PLR are cheap and reliable biomarkers for all-cause and CV mortality to predict survival in HD patients.
