Peripheral Blood NMLR Can Predict 5-Year All-Cause Mortality in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Li Y, Ge S, Liu J, Li R, Zhang R, Wang J, Pan J, Zhang Q, Zhang J, Zhang M

“…Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the 5-year all-cause mortality of COPD patients was significantly increased when the admission peripheral blood NMLR was ≥ 5.90 (27.3% vs 12.4%, P=0.000). The COX regression model showed that NMLR was an independent predictor of 5-year all-cause mortality in COPD patients (hazard ratio=1.84, 95% confidence interval: 1.28– 2.64, P=0.001). …”

Elevated Platelet‐to‐Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of All‐Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Hypertensive Individuals by Rui Xu, Ling Chen, Changshun Yan, Hong Xu, Guiqiu Cao

“…Over a median follow‐up of 79 months, there were 2820 all‐cause deaths and 758 cardiovascular deaths. The multivariate Cox analysis showed that those in the highest PLR quartile had significantly elevated risks of all‐cause mortality (Model 1: HR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.16–1.42, p < 0.001; Model 2: HR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.03–1.26, p = 0.014; Model 3: HR = 1.16, 95% CI 1.05–1.29, p = 0.004)and cardiovascular mortality (Model 1: HR = 1.59, 95% CI 1.30–1.94, p < 0.001; Model 2: HR = 1.38, 95% CI 1.13–1.68, p = 0.001; Model 3: HR = 1.47, 95% CI 1.20–1.80, p < 0.001). …”
