Association between preoperative neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio and mortality after plastic and reconstructive surgery

Abstract Predictive factors associated with postoperative mortality have not been extensively studied in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a systemic inflammation index, has been shown to have a predictive value in surgery. We aimed to evaluate association betwee...
