Neutrophil and lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has emerged as a prognostic marker in intensive care. This study aimed to associate high NLR values with COVID-19-associated diseases and mortality among critically ill patients. A cross-sectional study encompassing 189 critically ill patients with COVID-19 was performed. Crude model and adjusted (1- age; 2- sex; 3- kidney failure, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, sex, and age) modes were used. Participants with NLR ≥10.6 were older than those with NLR In conclusion, high NLR is a prognostic marker for mortality in severe COVID-19 and is associated with advanced age and kidney failure. |
