Comparative Study Observational StudyNeutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio: APrognostic Marker in Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
To investigate if neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) predicts in-hospital adverse events and mortality, and shortterm (30-day) mortality in ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients thrombolysed with streptokinase (SK). ⋯ Ahigh NLR predicted increased in hospital complication rate, and in-hospital as well as 30-day mortality in STEMI patients thrombolysed with streptokinase.
