Predictive Value of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio for Cerebral Infarction in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Nomogram-Based Analysis

High NLR can be used as an emerging criterion for evaluating CIF risk in OSA. The nomogram model is capable of estimating CIF risk accurately, providing useful aid to clinical decision-making. The developed nomogram can be implemented in practice as an aid to help healthcare personnel identify high-risk OSA participants who would be offered early intervention in terms of increased monitoring and prophylaxis. External validation in larger, multi-center cohorts is warranted.
