Abstract

Background: Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Simple, cost-effective inflammatory markers that can predict disease severity and outcome are clinically valuable. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have emerged as potential prognostic markers in inflammatory conditions.
