Prognostic biomarkers in predicting mortality in respiratory patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia

Abstract Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common nosocomial infection. Red cell distribution width (RDW) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are prognostic factors to mortality in different diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate prognostic efficiency RDW, NLR, a...
