Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio may be predict of mortality in all conditions
Open accessAbstract
We read with great interest the article ‘A derived neutrophil to lymphocyte (N/L) ratio predicts clinical outcome in stage II and III colon cancer patients’ by Absenger et al (2013) . They aimed to investigate the effect of the preoperative N/L ratio on time to recurrence and overall survival in patients with stage II and III colon cancer. They concluded that the N/L ratio is an independent prognostic marker in our study cohort including patients with stage II and III colon cancer. The ready availability of this parameter at no additional cost may encourage its wider use in clinical practice in the future. Thank to the authors for their contribution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
