Fig. 1

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio for patients with and without disease deterioration, shock and death. Disease deterioration (panel a), shock (panel b) and death (panel c). The bottom and top edges of each box represent the first (P25) and third quartiles (P75), respectively. The band within the box represents the median (P50), and the whiskers represent values that are 1.5 times the interquartile range. The horizontal line represents the cutoff value of 2.6937 for the NLR. Two extreme outliers (> 3 times the interquartile range), including a patient with an NLR of 85.52 in the groups without adverse outcomes and a patients with an NLR of 54.36 in the groups with adverse outcomes, were not shown. NLR represents the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio
