Low Platelet to White Blood Cell Ratio Indicates Poor Prognosis for Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure

Table 3

Independent predictors of mortality by Cox proportional hazard regression.

Predictor	HR	95% CI	p
PWR	0.660	0.438–0.996	0.048
Age	1.042	1.025–1.059	<0.001
MELD score	1.083	1.049–1.119	<0.001

Variables included in the analysis were age, hemoglobin, PWR, MELD score, and total protein. MELD, model for end-stage liver disease; PWR, PLT to WBC ratio.
