Preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and outcome from coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
Background: An elevated preoperative white blood cell count has been associated with a worse outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Leukocyte subtypes, and particularly the neutrophil-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio, may however, convey superior ...

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in allergic rhinitis [PDF]
The recent report on ‘‘neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in allergic rhinitis’’ is very interesting [1]. Doguret al. noted that ‘‘NLR can be used as an indicator of inflammation in allergic rhinitis [1]’’. Indeed, abnormal NLR can be seen in several conditions and seems to be non-specific [2, 3]. It is no doubt that the problem of specificity is the
