Abstract

AIMS: To evaluate whether discharge neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and its in-hospital trajectory predict 30-day outcomes after acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) hospitalization, and to compare discharge NLR with admission NLR and with serial NLR measurement. METHODS: Retrospective cohort of 6784 ADHF discharges (2007-17; median age 78 [interquartile range: 69-85] years; 48.8% women). Patients were classified by discharge NLR (
