Platelet–lymphocyte Ratio After Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor Administration: an Early Prognostic Marker in Septic Shock Patients With Chemotherapy-Induced Febrile Neutropenia

Introduction: Chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia (FN) causes life-threatening complications, but little is known in septic shock patients with FN. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein level, immature granulocyte count, white blood cell (WBC) count, absolute neutrophil count (ANC), neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR), in septic shock patients with FN at admission and after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration. Methods: Data on consecutive adult septic shock patients with FN treated with G-CSF between June 2012 and June 2017 were extracted from a prospectively compiled septic shock registry. Clinical and serial laboratory data at admission and 100 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 9.394; 95% CI, 2.821–31.285, P
