Despite the disease\u2019s extensive effects, little is known about the prognostic indicators that can be used. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) and platelet-to- lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting mortality of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Demographic data, underlying diseases, laboratory parameters were evaluated. The study included 222 cases. The mortality rate was 57.65%. No significant differences in terms of sex, age, or underlying disease were observed between the two groups with and without mortality. Obesity, oxygen therapy, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) rates and high SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) scores were found to be significantly higher in the group with a mortal course. The mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with lung involvement over 50%, with a low lymphocyte count at ICU admission. In this patient group, NLR was found to be higher, and LCR was found to be lower (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.001). Although there was no significant difference in PLR between the two groups in univariate analysis, multivariate analysis revealed that PLR was independently associated with mortality. High NLR and low LCR values at ICU admission might serve as early warning signs for healthcare providers, allowing them to identify patients at higher risk of mortality.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00033197251318094","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,10]],"date-time":"2025-02-10T06:00:47Z","timestamp":1739167247000},"page":"241-246","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Prognostic Value of Neutrophil\/Lymphocyte, Lymphocyte\/C-reactive protein, Platelet\/ Lymphocyte Rates in Covid-19 Cases Monitored in the Intensive Care Unit"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"77","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9472-1340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nurbanu","family":"Sezak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease and Clinical Microbiology, Izmir Democracy University Faculty of Medicine, Izmir, Turkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1470-356X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Banu","family":"Karaca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease and Clinical Microbiology, Izmir Katip Celebi University Faculty of Medicine, Izmir, Turkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Recep","family":"Balik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease and Clinical Microbiology, Goztepe Prof. Dr. Suleyman Yalcin City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Murat","family":"Aksun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Izmir Katip Celebi University Faculty of Medicine, Izmir, Turkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Huang C Wang Y Li X et al.
