Postoperative lymphocyte percentage and neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio are useful markers for the early prediction of surgical site infection in spinal decompression surgery
Purpose: Although the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a simple biomarker for inflammation, its diagnostic value for predicting surgical site infection (SSI) after spinal decompression surgery has not been extensively investigated. We aimed to determine the predictive value of NLR for SSI in pat...
