Prognostic Value of the C‐Reactive Protein × Platelet‐to‐Lymphocyte Ratio for 28‐Day Mortality in Patients With Sepsis: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Inflammatory and hematologic biomarkers are commonly used for early risk assessment in sepsis. The C‐reactive protein × platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (CPL) integrates systemic inflammation, platelet‐related thromboinflammation, and lymphocyte‐associated immune suppression. This study aimed to evaluate the association between
