The clinical value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and D-dimer-to-fibrinogen ratio for predicting pneumonia and poor outcomes in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and D-dimer-to-fibrinogen ratio (DFR) as predictors of pneumonia and poor outcomes in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods

We retrospectively examined patients with acute ICH treated in our institution from May 2018 to July 2020. Patient characteristics, laboratory testing data, radiologic imaging data, and 90-day outcomes were recorded and analyzed.

Results

Among the 329 patients included for analysis, 183 (55.6%) developed pneumonia. Systolic blood pressure, initial hematoma volume, D-dimer concentration, NLR, PLR, DFR, and white blood cell, platelet, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts at admission were significantly higher i
