Differential blood count. Prior to non-cardiac surgery, differential blood counts were performed in the 38 included patients. a-f After adjustment for multiple comparisons (p = 0.05/8 = 0.006), no difference in subpopulations could be detected between patients who suffered MACCE and patients who did not. g, h Patients with MACCE had a higher PLR (309 [206; 380] vs. 160 [132; 203], p = 0.001), as well as higher NLR (4.9 [3.5; 8.1] vs. 2.6 [2.2; 3.4], p = 0.001) prior to surgery. MACCE: major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, PLR: Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio, NLR: Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio
