Usefulness of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio for predicting acute pericarditis outcomes

CONCLUSION: NLR and hs-CRP were found to be independent predictors for the composite endpoint of tamponade and/or recurrence in acute pericarditis patients during the 1-year follow-up. Similar to hs-CRP, NLR may also be used for risk assessment in patients with idiopathic pericarditis.PMID:34275415 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2021.1951998
