The conservative management group was comprised of 38 of the 81 patients (46.9%) who responded to sole medical treatment with the triple antibiotic regimen (gentamicin\u2010clindamycin\u2010ampicillin) and the surgical intervention group was comprised of 43 patients (53.1%) who did not respond to medical treatment and needed further surgery and\/or interventional radiologic abscess drainage.

The area under the curve (AUC) for NLR was 0.69 (threshold value was \u22656.97, 95% confidence interval, sensitivity 79.1%, specificity 57.9%).
