Abstract
Effectiveness of using inflammatory markers for prognosis assessment in the intensive care units (ICU) is still not clear. The current study aimed to examines the relationship among procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio of patients who are getting treatment in the ICU during hospitalization and mortality. The study was carried out with a total of 788 patients who were hospitalized in the ICU longer than a day. All participants were over the age of 18 years old. C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios were compared between the groups of those who died and those who were discharged from the ICU.54.6% (n= 430) of 788 patients who were admitted to the study, were male whereas45.4% (n= 358) of them were female. The median age of the study group was calculated as 79 years (IQR = 19 years) (P
