The prognostic role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and systemic immune-inflammation index on short- and long-term outcome following surgery for spinal metastases

CONCLUSIONS: High preoperative NLR and SII were independently associated with 30-day postoperative mortality in this study. Elevated NLR was also found to be associated with shorter OS. The prognostic role of these metrics warrants further investigation.PMID:38157531 | DOI:10.3171/2023.10.SPINE23851
