Summary of studies on the prognostic role of LRINEC in NF patients

Study	Country	Design	Results
Su et al. [5]	Taiwan	Retrospective study (2002–2005) N = 209	Patients with a LRINEC score of ≥6 have a higher rate of both mortality and amputation.
Corbin et al. [12]	France	Prospective study N = 50	The rate of complications was higher for patients with a LRINEC score > 6 than for patients with a score < 6.
Swain et al. [14]	UK	Retrospective study (2006–2011) N = 15	Overall mortality was 3 out of 15 patients. The median LRINEC score in all deaths was 9.0 (range: 6–12).
Bozkurt et al. [16]	Turkey	Retrospective study (2008–2013) N = 33	Patients with higher LRINEC scores were more likely to require mechanical ventilation and longer hospitalization times and were more likely to die
COLAK et al. [15]	Turkey	Retrospective study (2008–2013 N = 25	The mean number of debridements and LRINEC score were higher in the non-surviving group (p = 0.003 and p = 0.003, respectively).
El-Menyar et al. 2017	Qatar	Retrospective study 2000–2013 N = 294	LRINEC ≥6 had greater SOFA score (11.5 ± 3 vs 8 ± 2) septic shock (37% vs 15%), prolonged hospital length of stay and deaths (p < 0.001 for all)
