Predictive value of neutrophil-leucocyte in cardiac surgery

摘要

We read the valuable research by Dr. Weedle et al. (1), which examined the association between the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and postoperative atrial fibrillation in 906 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. They found that high preoperative/postoperative NLR was associated with more postoperative complications.
