Disease subclassification and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in 41 dogs with chronic enteropathy. Dogs that were diagnosed with steroid- or other immunosuppressant-responsive or -refractory enteropathy (IRE or NRE, n = 29) had significantly higher NLRs (median: 7.3, interquartile range [IQR]: 5.1–12.5, range: 1.8–29.3) than dogs that were classified as food-responsive (FRE, n = 12; median: 3.0, IQR: 2.7–4.7, range: 0.4–12.5; p = 0.0033), with an optimal cutoff NLR of 5.5 (dashed gray line) to distinguish the 2 groups of dogs.
