Prognostic Role of Lymphocyte-to-C-Reactive Protein Ratio in Patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

Inflammation plays a critical role in the prognosis of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR), as a novel inflammatory marker, has not been studied in patients with PAH. The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of the LCR in patients with PAH.
