Mid-arm muscle circumference: A significant factor of all-cause and cancer mortalities in individuals with elevated platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio.
Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is an inflammatory maker, and high PLR is associated with mortality in several diseases. The predictors of mortality in individuals with high PLR is still lacking. Our aims were to assess if mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) can predict all-cause mortality, cance...
