Peripheral Blood Cell Ratios as Prognostic Predictors of Mortality in Patients with Hepatitis B Virus-Related Decompensated Cirrhosis.

Background: We sought to determine the correlations between peripheral blood cell ratios (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume-to-lymphocyte ratio (MPVLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-to-neutrophil ratio (PNR), and platelet-to-white blood cell ratio (PWR)) and short-term prognosis in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated decompensated cirrhosis (HBV-DeCi).

Methods: A total of 144 HBV-DeCi patients were enrolled. Demographic characteristics and laboratory data for the patients were acquired from their medical records.
