From: Prolonged increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with mortality after successful revascularization for treatment of acute ischemic stroke

Fig. 2

A nearly linear association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mortality at 1 month after endovascular treatment (EVT) can be seen in a generalized additive model. A smooth curve fitting graph illustrates daily NLR in 237 patients (195 survivors, 42 nonsurvivors) for 3 consecutive days after EVT. The solid line and the dashed lines show the estimated value and its corresponding 95% confidence interval, respectively. Adjustments were made for sex; age; history of diabetes; history of chronic kidney disease; baseline NIHSS score; bridging intravenous thrombolysis; cardioembolic stroke; internal carotid artery occlusion; favorable collateral circulation; pneumonia during hospitalization; symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage during hospitalization; sepsis during hospitalization; anticoagulation during hospitalization; use of invasive mechanical ventilation during hospitalization; use of vasopressors during hospitalization
