Key patient characteristics, encompassing demographic data, comorbidities, hematological and biochemical indices, and vital signs, were extracted using PostgreSQL Administration Tool (pgAdmin) software. The Cox proportional hazards model assessed the impact of WPR on mortality outcomes, while Kaplan-Meier survival curves and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis further validated the findings. Subgroup analyses stratified the prognostic value of WPR by demographic and clinical factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>WPR demonstrated the highest prognostic significance among the variables studied, showing a strong association with 28-day all-cause mortality. In the unadjusted Model 1, hazard ratios (HRs) for WPR quartiles ranged from 1.88 (95% CI: 1.22\u20132.90) in Q2 to 3.02 (95% CI: 2.04\u20134.47) in Q4 (Ptrend &amp;lt;0.05). Adjusted models (Models 2\u20134) confirmed the robustness of these associations, even after accounting for demographic and clinical covariates. Kaplan-Meier and RCS analyses revealed a significant U-shaped relationship between WPR and mortality risk. Subgroup analyses indicated that elevated WPR was particularly associated with increased mortality in males, elderly patients, married individuals, and those with chronic pulmonary disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>WPR serves as an independent and reliable prognostic biomarker for 28-day mortality in cardiac arrest patients. Its integration into clinical decision-making may enhance the early identification of high-risk patients and guide tailored therapeutic interventions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2024.1527664","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,7]],"date-time":"2025-01-07T05:24:39Z","timestamp":1736227479000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Correlation between the white blood cell\/platelet ratio and 28-day all-cause mortality in cardiac arrest patients: a retrospective cohort study based on machine learning"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Huai","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guangqin","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shanghui","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yongtian","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lijuan","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaoliang","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaosheng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenyu","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"562","DOI":"10.1161\/01.cir.0000023891.80661.ad","article-title":"Successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest as a \u201csepsis-like\u201d syndrome","volume":"106","author":"Adrie","year":"2002","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e56","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000659","article-title":"Heart disease and stroke statistics-2019 update: a report from the American heart association","volume":"139","author":"Benjamin","year":"2019","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1479","DOI":"10.1016\/j.resuscitation.2010.08.006","article-title":"Global incidences of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and survival rates: systematic review of 67 prospective studies","volume":"81","author":"Berdowski","year":"2010","journal-title":"Resuscitation"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e12622","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.12622","article-title":"Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte, lymphocyte-to-monocyte, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios: prognostic significance in COVID-19","volume":"13","author":"Bg","year":"2021","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.47852\/bonviewMEDIN42022583","article-title":"Decoding medical diagnosis with machine learning classifiers","volume-title":"Medinformatics","author":"Chattopadhyay","year":"2024"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"225","DOI":"10.5603\/CJ.a2016.0001","article-title":"White blood cell count to mean platelet volume ratio: a novel and promising prognostic marker for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction","volume":"23","author":"\u00c7i\u00e7ek","year":"2016","journal-title":"Cardiol.
