Abstract Summary
The neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) independently predicts mortality in ICU-admitted myocardial infarction patients. This study of 1,759 patients found those with highest NPAR levels faced double the 30-day mortality risk. Machine learning models incorporating NPAR showed enhanced predictive accuracy, suggesting this simple, routine lab-based marker could improve risk stratification in critical care.
Why Brain? đź§
A simple blood test ratio combining neutrophil percentage and albumin levels predicts death risk in heart attack patients in intensive care, potentially improving risk assessment using routine lab values.
