Table 3 Adjusted relationships of quartiles of neutrophil: lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) (n = 507)
From: Neutrophil: lymphocyte ratio is positively associated with subclinical diabetic cardiomyopathy
Adjusted relationships | Quartiles of NLR (range) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Level 1 (< 1.35) n = 124 | Level 2 (≥1.35 and < 1.77) n = 129 | Level 3 (≥1.77 and < 2.38) n = 127 | Level 4 (≥2.38) n = 127 | P value | |
