Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts in-Hospital Mortality in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Intracerebral hemorrhage is one of the world's three most lethal and disabling diseases, which is the second most common kind of stroke and imposes enormous health, economic and social burdens.1-3 Although clinical examination and neuroimaging are available to assess the severity and progression of intracerebral hemorrhage, more reliable indicators are needed to predict the outcome.4,5 Due to the essential role of inflammatory factors in the development of intracerebral hemorrhage, it has attracted increasing attention as a peripheral biomarker for predicting early mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.
