Table 4.

Total hip arthroplasty patients divided by expected vs. abnormal kinetics of CRP and NLR postoperatively.

	NLR 5 < NLR 3	NLR 5 ≥ NLR 3
CRP 5 < CRP 3	173	52
CRP 5 ≥ CRP 3	7	3

Data are presented as number of patients in each group.

Abnormal is defined as a failure to decrease in concentration between Days 3 and 5 postoperatively.

CRP = C-reactive protein; CRP 3 = C-reactive protein on postoperative Day 3; CRP 5 = C-reactive protein on postoperative Day 5; NLR = neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; NLR 3 = neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio on postoperative Day 3; NLR 5 = neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio on postoperative Day 5.
