Neutrophil-to-prognostic nutritional index ratio and short-term mortality in heart failure: an exploratory association without demonstrated superiority over PNI, NLR, or SII
Systemic inflammation and greater illness severity are associated with adverse short-term outcomes in heart failure (HF). The neutrophil-to-prognostic nutritional index ratio (NPNR) combines neutrophil count with the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), a composite derived from serum albumin and lymphocyte count tha...
