Comparison of PLR, NLR, dNLR and LMR values between patients who survived and died during follow-up

Parameter	Survivors N = 264	Cancer-specific deaths N = 91	Cancer-unrelated deaths N = 88	P-value (all groups)	P-value (survivors vs. cancer-specific deaths)	P-value (survivors vs. cancer-unrelated deaths)	P-value (cancer-specific deaths vs. cancer-unrelated deaths)
PLR	117.8 (90.9–147.1)	176.3 (117.0–233.1)	138.3 (96.1–186.9)	< 0.0001	< 0.0001	0.003	0.02
NLR	1.82 (1.39–2.36)	2.92 (2.18–4.09)	2.23 (1.6–3.31)	< 0.0001	< 0.0001	0.002	0.0004
dNLR	1.33 (1.0–1.7)	1.77 (1.45–2.45)	1.61 (1.21–2.24)	< 0.0001	< 0.0001	0.003	0.07
LMR	4.8 (3.76–6.0)	3.07 (2.12–4.25)	3.76 (2.63–5.75)	< 0.0001	< 0.0001	0.0004	0.02

Continuous variables are presented as median (interquartile range). PLR – platelet-lymphocyte ratio, NLR – neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, dNLR – derived neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, LMR – lymphocyte-monocyte ratio.
