APACHE II: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; NLR: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; and WBC: white blood cell.
The OR indicates the risk of obtaining unfavorable outcome. Standard value was calculated using the semistandardization method ( standardization).
Significant differences are marked by () or ().
