The Predictive Role of NLR and PLR in Outcome and Patency of Lower Limb Revascularization in Patients with Femoropopliteal Disease

Abstract

Our findings establish that a high value of preoperative NLR and PLR determined at hospital admission is strongly predictive of primary patency failure (12 months after revascularization). Additionally, elevated ratio values are an independent predictor for a higher amputation rate and death for all patients enrolled in the study, except for mortality in RC 2, and both amputation and mortality in RC 5.
