Table 2 Comparison of neurology data of the patients in each tertile.
| Variables | Total | LMR values on admission | p-Value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tertile 1 (n=169)LMR >4.85 | Tertile 2 (n=169)LMR 2.96–4.85 | Tertile 3 (n=169)LMR <2.96 | |||
| Moderate to severe stroke (NIHSS score >5), n (%) | 185 (36.5) | 28 (16.6) | 44 (26.0) | 113 (66.9) | <0.001 |
| PSD (HAMD score >7), n (%) | 141 (27.8) | 24 (14.2) | 42 (24.9) | 75 (54.6) | <0.001 |
| Moderate to severe stroke with PSD, n (%) | 87 (47.0) | 8 (28.6) | 18 (40.9) | 61 (54.0) | 0.035 |
| Mild stroke with PSD, n (%) | 54 (16.8) | 16 (11.3) | 24 (19.2) | 14 (25.0) | 0.045 |
| n – number of patients; NIHSS – National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; PSD – post-stroke depression; LMR – lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio. | |||||
