The Prognostic Value of The Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratio in Predicting Short-Term Mortality in Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Objectives: Pulmonary embolism (PE), which has an inflammatory component, has high mortality and morbidity rates. The platelet/lymphocyte ratio is a novel marker of inflammation that is an independent predictor of mortality in cardiac and various oncological diseases. The aim of the present study was to determine the prognostic value of the platelet/lymphocyte ratio for short-term mortality for patients with acute pulmonary embolism. Materials...
