Association of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with the severity of chronic enteropathy in 93 dogs. A. The NLR differed significantly among the disease severity groups (p = 0.0263). Dogs with very severe clinical disease (canine chronic enteropathy clinical activity index [CCECAI] score ≥12) had significantly higher NLRs than dogs with mild clinical signs (p = 0.0468). No significant differences were detected among other of these subgroups of dogs. B. The NLR was significantly higher in dogs with very severe clinical signs (CCECAI score ≥12; median: 12.7, interquartile range [IQR]: 5.7–33.8) than in dogs with a CCECAI score <12 (median: 4.9, IQR: 2.9–9.4; p = 0.0138), with an optimal cutoff NLR of 5.5 (dashed gray line) to distinguish the 2 groups of dogs.
