Systemic inflammation relates to the initiation and progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). As neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been shown to be a prognostic inflammatory biomarker in various diseases, in this study, we sought to explore whether NLR is a prognostic factor in patients with ARDS.
