Abstract
To examine the role of the ratios of platelet or neutrophil to lymphocyte count (PLR or NLR) in predicting hospital death and long-term mortality in acute heart failure (AHF). Methods& materials: The records of 554 admissions from 354patients discharged from VAWNY with AHF between 2011 and2015 were reviewed. The associations between admission PLR or NLR and hospital and long-term mortality were assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses. PLR was similar regarding hospital mortality. Long-term mortality was higher in the third tertile PLR (PLR>210; p=0.034). Neither PLR nor NLR was an independent predictor of mortality. Although higher PLR was associated with long-term mortality, it failed to independently predict the prognosis of AHF.
