Abstract EN
Background.
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an inflammation index that has been shown to independently predict poor clinical outcomes.
We aimed to evaluate the clinical value of NLR in the prediction of 30-day mortality in patients with HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis (HBV-DeCi).
Methods.
This was a retrospective cohort study that included 148 patients with HBV-DeCi.
Results.
An elevated NLR was associated with increased severity of liver disease and mortality within 30 days.
Multivariate analysis suggested that NLR, similar to the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, is an additional independent predictor of 30-day mortality ( P < 0 .
01 ).
Conclusion.
Our results suggest that a high NLR can be considered a new independent biomarker for predicting 30-day mortality in patients with HBV-DeCi.
