A Retrospective Study on Use of Neutrophil‐Lymphocyte Ratio as a Prognostic Measurement to Assess Acute Diverticulitis
In this study, we have further validated the effectiveness of NLR as a diagnostic marker. In particular, NLR is superior to CRP in predicting surgical management. It has also proven useful to predict for LOS, disease severity and percutaneous drainage. NLR usage should be encouraged in the clinical setting as it is simple and effective.
