Discussion

Retrospective observational study links neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio with sepsis and mortality, suggesting its utility as a biomarker.

NLR was significantly higher in patients with sepsis, indicating its potential as a predictor of severe infection.
Logistic regression showed NLR as an independent predictor for both sepsis and in-hospital mortality, with OR values of 1.85 and 2.12.
The optimal NLR cutoff values were determined to be 5.1 for sepsis and 6.8 for predicting mortality.
Findings suggest that utilizing NLR routinely could improve early detection and risk stratification for patients in emergency departments.
