Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio and the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality: a 20-year follow-up cohort study of 36,428 US adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) has been identified as a prognostic indicator of mortality in various diseases; however, its association with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the general population remains insufficiently studied.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 36,428 individuals who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1999 and 2018. Participants were divided into tertiles based on NPAR levels, with follow-up data collected through December 31, 2019. Weighted multivariable Cox regression models were employed to assess the associations between NPAR and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to compare survival rates across NP
