Predictive Accuracy of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio on Long-Term Outcome in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage

摘要

BACKGROUND: It is well established that inflammation plays a critical role in the progression of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recently the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was identified as a predictor for the short-term outcome in ICH patients. However, the association of NLR with the long-term outcome in patients with ICH remains unknown. Here, we aimed to assess the relationship between NLR and the long-term prognosis in ICH patients.
