Leukocyte counts and NLR in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction that died or survived during follow up. The leukocyte counts were assessed in patient blood samples at admission (6.12-7.60 hours after symptom onset, n=692); 24 hours after admission (n=692); 72 hours after admission (n=614); Before discharge (14±2 days after symptom onset, n=632). Patients that died during follow up had higher total leucocyte or neutrophil counts and higher NLRs, and lower lymphocyte counts in comparison with patients that did not die during the follow up period.
