Platelet-white cell ratio is more strongly associated with mortality than other common risk ratios derived from complete blood counts by Brody H. Foy, Jonathan C. T. Carlson, Aaron D. Aguirre, John M. Higgins

“…Here we show that the platelet-to-white-cell ratio, which was selected based on this conserved recovery pattern, is more strongly associated with mortality than other blood count markers and ratios in four important illnesses involving acute inflammation: COVID-19, acute heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Patients recovering well from these acute illnesses tend to follow a joint white cell and platelet trajectory that can be reduced to this one-dimensional ratio. …”
