Özet
Introduction: Studies have reported that red cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with a higher mortality rate and bloodstream infection risk in intensive care units (ICUs). Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of inflammation related to mortality in pneumonia, cardiovascular diseases, and pulmonary embolism. Both markers are not yet routinely used as a prognostic marker in ICUs. With this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of these 2 markers on ICU outcomes.
