Clinical relevance of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio combined with APACHEII for prognosis of severe heatstroke

We evaluated clinical implication of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for severe heatstroke and predictive value of combined acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHEII) score for prognosis of severe heatstroke. Retrospectively, we studied 185 individuals that have been admitted at eme...

Description
Summary:We evaluated clinical implication of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for severe heatstroke and predictive value of combined acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHEII) score for prognosis of severe heatstroke. Retrospectively, we studied 185 individuals that have been admitted at emergency department for severe heatstroke. On the basis of their prognosis, we sorted the patients into two categories, namely non-survival (n = 43) and survival groups (n = 142). The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. A considerably higher NLR was observed among the non-survivors compared to survivors (P
