Table 3. C-reactive protein (CRP) and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values in 82 patients: preoperatively (preop), at day + 1 (D1), day + 2 (D2) and day + 7 (D7), and presenting (or not) postoperative complications after major abdominal surgery.
Data are presented as mean ± SD. P value <0.05 is considered significant.
