Aims: To examine whether early rise of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) after patient hospitalization correlates with 30-day mortality in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
Methods: This retrospective study included all patients receiving treatment for spontaneous ICH between January 2015 and September 2016 at the Jiading District Central Hospital Affiliated Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences in Shanghai, China. NLR was determined at admission (T1), at 24-48 hours (T2) and 5-7 days (T3). NLR and clinicopathologic features were compared between those who survived for >30 days vs not. Multivariate regression was used to identify risk factors for 30-day mortality.
Results: A total of 275 subjects were included in the analysis: 235 survived for at least 30 days; the remaining 40 subjects died within 30 days. The patients who died within 30 days had higher ICH score, larger ICH volume, and lower GCS score (all P < 0.05). In comparison with the baseline (NLR ), NLR at 24-48 hours (NLR ) and 5-7 days (NLR ) was significantly higher in patients who died within 30 days (P < 0.05), but not in patients surviving for >30 days. In the multivariate analysis, the 30-day mortality was associated with both NLR (OR 1.112, 95%CI 1.032-1.199, P = 0.006) and NLR (OR 1.163, 95%CI 1.067-1.268, P = 0.001). Spearman correlation analysis showed that both NLR and NLR correlated inversely with GCS score and positively with ICH score and ICH volume at the baseline.
Conclusions: Early rise of NLR predicts 30-day mortality in patients with spontaneous ICH.

Objective: The aim of this research was to develop and internally validate a nomogram for forecasting the length of hospital stay following laparoscopic appendectomy in pediatric patients diagnosed with appendicitis.
Methods: We developed a prediction model based on a training dataset of 415 pediatric patients with appendicitis, and hospitalization data were collected retrospectively from January 2021 and December 2022. The primary outcome measure in this study was hospital length of stay (LOS), with prolonged LOS defined as admission for a duration equal to or exceeding the 75th percentile of LOS, including the discharge day.

Background: Carcinoma prostate (CaP) is second most common cancer and sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality among men worldwide. Prostate-specific antigen (sr. PSA) levels are prostate specific, not cancer specific.

White blood cell (WBC) subtypes reflect immune and inflammatory conditions in patients. This study aimed to examine the association between the ratio of platelets to WBC subtypes and mortality outcomes in patients with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The Trauma Registry System of the hospital was retrospectively reviewed to gather medical records of 2397 adult patients who were hospitalized from 2009 to 2020 and had moderate-to-severe TBI with a head abbreviated injury scale (AIS) score of 3 or higher.

Background: The prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is notably influenced by both inflammation and nutritional status. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) have been reported in prognostic studies of various tumors. However, the efficacy of the combination of the two in predicting the prognosis of CRC patients has not been studied.

Inflammation has been confirmed to play an important role in the occurrence and development of sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL), and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR) is a biomarker positively correlated with the degree of inflammation. This study aims to identify the difference in serum NLR between patients with SSNHL and normal population, and to evaluate the predictive efficacy of NLR for the occurrence and prognosis of SSNHL, thereby guiding the clinical diagnosis and treatment of SSNHL. In this study, 96 patients diagnosed with SSNHL admitted to our department from January 2023 to March 2024 and 96 patients diagnosed with vocal cord polyps admitted to our department during the same period were recruited as a control group.
