Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disabling condition that is characterised
by poorly reversible airflow limitation and inflammation. Acute exacerbations of COPD are a …

Introduction The main white blood cell populations, neutrophils and lymphocytes, are
involved in the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We …

COPD is characterized by a pulmonary and systemic inflammatory process. Several authors
have reported the elevation of multiple inflammatory markers in patients with COPD; …

Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are a leading
cause of hospitalisation and death in COPD patients. In addition to the identification of better …

Objective: Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is considered as an inflammatory biomarker
for clinical outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We …

Objectives We aimed to investigate the importance of neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in
patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for identifying the severity of …

Objective Although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by
systemic inflammation, the association between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR; an …

Background The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR) is a widely available marker of
inflammation. Several types of inflammatory cells and mediators have been found to be …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic inflammatory disease
of the lung with a high mortality and morbidity rate. Some of the inflammatory markers such …

Methods: NLR was prospectively measured and compared in patients with COPD
exacerbation (n= 59), patients with stable COPD (n= 61), and healthy controls (n= 28). NLR …
