Early increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with poor 3-month outcomes in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of dynamic neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with 3-month functional outcomes in patients with sICH. We retrospectively identified 213 consecutive patients with sICH hospitalized in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to May 2018. Patients were divided into functional independence (FI) or unfavorable prognosis (UP) groups based on 3-month outcomes. Admission leukocyte counts within 24 hours of symptom onset were obtained, and the recorded fraction, of which the numerator is neutrophil and the denominator is lymphocyte, as NLR0. Determined NLR1, NLR3, NLR7, and NLR14 were recorded on day 1 (n = 77), day 3 (n = 126), day 7 (n = 123), and day 14 (n = 105), respectively. The relationships between dynam
