Table 2 Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients between variables and the occurrence of PDPH.
| Variable | Spearman’s ρ | P value |
|---|---|---|
| NLR | −0.41 | <0.001 |
| PLR | −0.08 | 0.071 |
| MLR | −0.12 | 0.144 |
| Age | −0.05 | 0.309 |
| BMI | −0.04 | 0.412 |
| SIRI | −0.252 | <0.001 |
| ρ – Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Spearman’s rank correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between each variable and the occurrence of PDPH. PDPH (+): n=133; PDPH (−): n=688. NLR – neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; PLR – platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; MLR – monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio; BMI – body mass index. * Statistically significant at | ||
