Association Between Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and In-hospital Mortality in Elderly Patients with Severe Trauma

In this study, we examined the relationship between the PLR and in-hospital mortality in elderly patients with severe trauma.Methods: This retrospective observational study included elderly ( ≥65 years) patients who were admitted for severe trauma (as defined by an Injury Severity Score [ISS] ≥ 16) between January–December 2022. We conducted multivariate analysis to assess the association between the PLR and in-hospital mortality using logistic regression of relevant covariates. W e also performed receiver operating characteristic curve analysis to examine the prognostic performance of the PLR forin-hospital mortality.Results: Among the 222 patients included in the study, the in-hospital mortality...
