Impact of absolute lymphocyte count upon admission to ICU on 28-day mortality in sepsis patients in ICU
Abstract
Background: Sepsis is associated with high mortality and poor prognosis in critically ill patients, posing a severe threat to global public health. The first absolute lymphocyte count (FALC) upon admission to the ICU, reflecting the initial state of the immune system, has emerged as a potential prognostic indicator in various critical illnesses. However, its specific role and predictive value in assessing 28-day mortality among sepsis patients in the ICU remain incompletely understood, with existing studies showing limitations in sample size and verification dimensions. Methods: Data of ICU patients (18
