Note: Fisher’s exact test was used if expected minimum was <5 with chi-squared test. Bold values indicate statistical significance.

Abbreviations: DNLR, derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; LMR, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio; PLR: platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; NLR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
