The initial levels of serum lactate, hemoglobin, delta neutrophil index, albumin, international normalized ratio, creatinine, Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index, Uludag Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index, and prognostic nutritional index differed between survivors and non\u2010survivors. Age, international normalized ratio, and delta neutrophil index were independent predictors of mortality in Fournier's gangrene. In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, delta neutrophil index on the day of admission was the best indicator of mortality (area under the curve, 0.804; 95% confidence interval [0.679\u20130.929]). The optimal cutoff for delta neutrophil index in predicting mortality was 11.25% (sensitivity, 74.1%; specificity, 91.4%).
