Prognostic Value of the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte and Platelet- Lymphocyte Ratios in Predicting One-Year Mortality in Patients with Hip Fractures and Aged Over 60 Years

Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on one-year mortality in patients with hip fractures and aged over 60 years.Materials and Methods: The S72.00, S72.10, and S72.20 codes were screened according to International Classification of Disease-10, and 560 patients were included as cases of hip fractures. Blood counts on admission and clinical data were obtained from medical data. Predictors of one-year mortality were evaluated.Results: In total, 116 out of 560 patients (20.7%) included in the study died during the one-year follow-up. When the patients' characteristics were compared according to one-year mortality (survivor and non-survivor groups), significant differences were detected for age, lymphocyte count, NLR, and PLR (p
