The value of lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis in intensive care unit: a retrospective single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) was a novel biomarker of inflammation that had been implicated in various diseases. Nevertheless, the role of LCR in the context of sepsis patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) had not been thoroughly elucidated. This study aimed to determine the significance of the LCR in predicting the prognosis of sepsis patients within ICU.

Methods

A sample of sepsis patients requiring ICU care was selected from the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University. These patients were then segmented into four quartiles based on their LCR levels. The primary endpoint of the study was 30-day mortality and the secondary endpoint was the occurrence of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Survival analysis, via the Kaplan-Meier method an
