Association between D-dimer to lymphocyte ratio and in hospital all-cause mortality in elderly patients with sepsis: a cohort of 1123 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The D-dimer to lymphocyte ratio (DLR), a novel inflammatory biomarker, had been shown to be related to adverse outcomes in patients with various diseases. However, there was limited research on the relationship between the DLR and adverse outcomes in patients with infectious diseases, particularly those with sepsis. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the association between the DLR and in hospital all-cause mortality in elderly patients with sepsis.

Methods

A total of 1123 patients admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) were included in this study. The patients were categorized into quartiles (Q1-Q4) based on their DLR values. The primary outcomes included hospital mortality and ICU mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to compare all-cause mortality a
