Results

The final study population consisted of 100 patients. The mean age of patients who survived (43 years) was significantly lower than the mean age of non-survivors (59.1 years), with a p-value of< 0.001. NLR was raised in 60% of the population and was significantly higher in patients who survived the disease, with a p-value of 0.004. The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) also followed a similar trend with a p-value of 0.017. Even though the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) also mimicked the trend, the statistical association was not significant (p-value: 0.09). The derived NLR and MPV-to-platelets ratios were not found to be significantly associated with mortality in this study.

Discussion

Younger patients had better clinical outcomes in our study population compared to the geriatric age group. A significant correlation between LMR and mortality was observed when a cut-off of 2.5 was considered as a …
