Article Synopsis
- Various blood count biomarkers, specifically the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR) ratios, are useful for predicting outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
- A study of 125 patients found that high NLR (>13) and MLR (>0.5) values were significantly linked to increased mortality risk, while lymphocyte-to-platelet ratio (LPR) showed no significant impact.
- The findings suggest that monitoring NLR and MLR can help identify high-risk patients needing more intensive care for COVID-19.
