The NLR was not significantly associated with nonsurvival; however, horses with an NLR &lt; 1.43 demonstrated higher odds of nonsurvival. Horses meeting \u2265 2 systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria had a lower NLR (1.56 [0.69 to 2.85]) compared with those meeting 0 to 1 criteria (2.54 [1.08 to 4.70]). Horses with an identified infectious cause had lower NLR than those without (1.38 [0.78 to 2.98] vs 2.37 [0.92 to 4.00]), with the lowest NLR observed in equine coronavirus-infected horses (0.73 [0.40 to 1.56]). The NLR alone had limited prognostic performance (area under the curve, 0.51), but multivariable models with NLR had good discriminatory ability (area under the curve, 0.84).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sc_a4\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p content-type=\"noindent\">While NLR alone is insufficient as a prognostic marker, it may reflect underlying immune dysregulation that contributes to disease severity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sc_a5\">\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p content-type=\"noindent\">The NLR is an inexpensive, readily available biomarker that may help clinicians identify horses at risk of severe systemic inflammation and identify infectious colitis when interpreted with other clinical and laboratory findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.25.12.0447","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,18]],"date-time":"2026-02-18T18:38:43Z","timestamp":1771439923000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with disease severity and infectious etiologies of colitis in horses presenting with acute colitis"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Amanda N.","family":"Samuels","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Niamh","family":"Collins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clovelly Intensive Care Unit, Scone Equine Hospital, Scone, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Myriah","family":"Albrecht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH"},{"name":"Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, Lexington, KY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rosemary","family":"Cuming","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clovelly Intensive Care Unit, Scone Equine Hospital, Scone, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Reed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital, Lexington, KY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diego","family":"Gomez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Abu Dhabi Equine and Camel Hospital, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9063-540X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ramiro","family":"Toribio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"B1","series-title":"Can Vet J.","first-page":"1033","article-title":"Acute diarrhea in horses: a multicenter Canadian retrospective study","volume":"63","author":"Gomez DE","year":"2015","unstructured":"Gomez DE, Leclere M, Arroyo LG, et al.
