Objectives: To investigate the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR) in critically ill patients with cardiogenic shock (CS).
Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Setting: A single centre in Boston, USA.
Participants: 475 patients with CS were included, among which 272 (57.3%) were men and 328 (69.1%) were white.
Primary And Secondary Outcome Measures: The primary outcome was 90-day mortality and the secondary outcomes were 30-day and 365-day mortality.
Results: A significant positive correlation between NAR levels and 90-day, 30-day or 365-day mortality was observed. For 90-day mortality, the adjusted HR (95% CI) values given NAR levels 23.54-27.86 and >27.86 were 1.71 (1.14 to 2.55) and 1.93 (1.27 to 2.93) compared with the reference (NAR<23.47). Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis showed that NAR had a certain prognostic value in predicting 90-day mortality of CS, which was more sensitive than the neutrophil percentage or the serum albumin level alone (0.651 vs 0.509, 0.584). For the secondary outcomes, the upward trend remained statistically significant.
Conclusions: NAR level was associated with the mortality of CS patients. The prognostic value of NAR was more sensitive than the neutrophil percentage or the serum albumin level alone, but not as good as Sequential Organ Failure Assessment or Simplified Acute Physiology Score.

Background: Premature infants are at high risk for neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and secondary infections. This study aims to investigate the association between immunoinflammatory markers-the systemic immune inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR)-and the risk of developing RDS in premature infants.
Methods: A total of 2164 premature infants were enrolled in this retrospective study.

Background: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a tragic complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), with spontaneous HT (sHT) occurring even without reperfusion therapies. Despite evidence suggesting that several inflammation biomarkers are closely related to HT, its utility in sHT risk stratification remains unclear. This study aimed to identify and integrate effective inflammatory biomarkers associated with sHT and to develop a novel nomogram model for the early detection of sHT.

Introduction: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the monocyte to albumin ratio (MAR), neutrophil to albumin ratio (NAR), platelet to albumin ratio (PAR), and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) as potential biomarkers for disease activity in patients with Behçet's disease (BD).
Material And Methods: Both BD cases and healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Demographic characteristics, disease duration, and current medications were recorded for all participants.

Purpose: This study aimed to create and assess machine learning (ML) models that utilize nutritional and inflammatory indices, focusing on the advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) and neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR), to improve the prediction accuracy of PE prognosis.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 312 patients, comprising 254 survivors and 58 non-survivors. The Boruta algorithm was used to identify significant variables, and four ML models (XGBoost, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and SVM) were employed to analyze the clinical data and assess the performance of the models.

Inflammation plays an important role in depression, and the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) is a cost-effective and readily available novel biomarker of inflammation. The association between NPAR and depression is unclear; therefore, to assess the relationship between NPAR and depression, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 33,768 participants ≥ 18 years of age from the 2005-2018 NHANES database. NPAR was calculated as Neutrophil percentage (in total WBC count) (%) × 100/Albumin (g/dL).
