A study in Indian Heart Journal assessed the relationship between neutrophil-lymphocytes ratio (NLR) at admission and patient outcome over a period of six month in subjects with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

A total of 435 consecutive patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome were enrolled and 400 patients completed the study. Patients were categorized into 2 groups: the NLR group 1 and the NLR group 2.

Study found that Forty-seven (11.8%) patients died during 6 months follow up. Higher mortality was seen in NLR group 2 compared to NLR group 1.

Study concludes that elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is independently associated with higher all-cause mortality rate up to 6 months period irrespective of acute coronary syndrome type.
