Inflammatory ratios as predictors of length of hospitalization in psychiatric patients: A multicenter study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Burgeoning evidence underscores the role of inflammation in psychiatric disorders where inflammation is linked to some clinical parameters such as disease severity and treatment resistance. However, the relationship between inflammation and the length of hospitalization remains poorly understood.

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate whether elevated inflammation at the time of admission, as indicated by blood cell ratios which are easily accessible markers of peripheral inflammation, predicts the length of stay (LOS) in acutely ill psychiatric patients.

Methods

This multi-centre study was conducted at two state hospitals using retrospective data. A total of 497 inpatients were screened, and clinical records at admission were carefully reviewed to ex
