Platelet to white blood cell ratio was an independent prognostic predictor in acute myeloid leukemia
Hematology, 2022 Background Recently, platelet to white blood cell ratio (PWR) was reported as an independent prognostic predictor in acute promyelocytic leukemia. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often presents with abnormal platelet counts and white blood cell counts (WBC)
