The relationship between platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and pulmonary embolism severity in acute pulmonary embolism

The aim of this study was to determine the level of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) according to high and low risk for early mortality based on simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI). In addition, it was investigated the relationship between PLR and NLR with systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP), cardiac markers, disease severity and...
