Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio and All-Cause Mortality in Populations With Abdominal Aortic Calcification: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The identification of reliable prognostic markers is essential for the effective management of abdominal aortic calcification (AAC). This research focused on assessing whether the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) correlates with long-term mortality risk in the AAC population. Methods: This analysis included 888 adults with AAC from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014. Mortality risk was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier curves. Nonlinear associations between the LMR and mortality were examined with restricted cubic spline (RCS). The predictive ability was evaluated by time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: Over median follow-up for 71 months, 145 deaths were re
