Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to see if neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) can predict outcomes for heart failure patients undergoing heart transplantation.
- Data from 111 patients were analyzed, measuring NLR and PLR at several points, with in-hospital mortality as the primary goal.
- Results showed that high NLR was linked to higher in-hospital mortality and was a significant factor for predicting 1-year mortality, while both high NLR and PLR predicted the need for renal replacement therapy.
