Neutrophil‐Lymphocyte Ratio as Predictor for Acute Infection After Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
The preoperative NLR shows some ability to predict acute infection after total joint arthroplasty in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Monitoring this ratio, perhaps in conjunction with other markers not analyzed here, may be useful for optimizing the timing of surgery in order to minimize risk of postoperative infection.
