ABSTRACT: Background
This study investigated the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (N/LPR) and its variability ratio (N/LPRR) with 30-day and 1-year mortality outcomes.Methods
A total of 7,443 patients from the MIMIC-IV 2.2 database were included, with 1,765 having multiple N/LPR measurements. Mortality at 1 year and within 30 days served as the primary endpoints. Patients were stratified into four groups according to baseline N/LPRR quartiles. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves assessed the predictive value of N/LPR and N/LPRR for mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated the risk of mortality events, while restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis explored the non-linear associations between N/LPR, N/LPRR, and mortality.
