Table 5 Multivariate analysis of potential parameters in predicting symptomatic radiation pneumonitis.

Parameters	P value	OR	95% CI
Pre/end ratio of pre-albumin	0.001	2.750	1.504–5.028
PLR during RT	0.027	3.408	1.146–10.135
NLR at the end of RT	0.001	5.322	1.940–14.600
OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval; PLR – platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; RT – radiation therapy; NLR – neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
