The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in cardiovascular patients.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the relationship of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. The data for this analysis came from 2239 participants with cardiovascular disease of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 1999-2018. The optimal cutoff point for NLR was determined using maximally selected rank statistics. Survival analysis was performed using Cox regression models to assess the impact of NLR on the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Restricted cubic spline was used to visualize the association of NLR with mortality risk. Subgroup analysis was performed to examine the relationship between NLR and mortality within subgroups based on age, sex, di
