Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is the most common cause of hospitalization and death among COPD patients. Clinicians are seeking simple, inexpensive, and easily obtained biomarkers for prognostic evaluation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet:lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte:monocyte ratio (LMR) with 28-day mortality and assess the clinical prognostic utility of the NLR, PLR, and LMR in patients with AECOPD.
