We aimed to accumulate evidence that suggests the potential role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in determining the prognostic factor for COVID-19 patients.
A cohort of COVID-19 hospitalized patients at the Ilam University of Medical Sciences was analyzed. Logistic regression models were performed to identify the potential role of NLR in determining the prognostic factor for COVID-19 patients.
The total number of in-hospital mortality was 43/328 (13.1%). Multivariate analysis identified that there was a 26% higher risk of in-hospital death for each unit increase in NLR (Odds ratio [OR] = 1.08; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.01 to 1.14; p = 0.0147). Multivariate analysis identified that there was an 8% higher risk of in-hospital death for each unit increase in NLR (Odds ratio [OR] = 1.08; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.01 to 1.14; p = 0.0147). Compared with patients in the NLR < 5 group, the NLR of patients in the NLR ≥ 5 group had a 16-fold higher risk of mortality (OR = 16.04; 95% CI, 1.14 to 224.95; p = 0.0395) after adjustment for potential confounders.
NLR is an independent risk factor of mortality COVID-19 patients.
我们旨在积累证据,提示中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)在确定 COVID-19 患者预后因素方面的潜在作用。
分析了伊拉姆医科大学住院的 COVID-19 患者队列。采用逻辑回归模型来确定 NLR 在确定 COVID-19 患者预后因素方面的潜在作用。
住院死亡总人数为 43/328(13.1%)。多变量分析确定,NLR 每增加一个单位,住院死亡的风险就会增加 26%(优势比[OR] = 1.08;95%置信区间[95%CI],1.01 至 1.14;p = 0.0147)。多变量分析确定,NLR 每增加一个单位,住院死亡的风险就会增加 8%(优势比[OR] = 1.08;95%置信区间[95%CI],1.01 至 1.14;p = 0.0147)。与 NLR<5 组的患者相比,NLR≥5 组的患者死亡风险增加了 16 倍(OR = 16.04;95%CI,1.14 至 224.95;p = 0.0395),校正了潜在混杂因素后。
NLR 是 COVID-19 患者死亡的独立危险因素。
