The Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio is Associated with the Requirement and the Duration of Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Study

Table 4

The value of indicators in predicting the requirement of IMV in patients with ARDS.

Parameters	AUC	95%CI	value
Baseline model^a	0.738	0.696–0.777	RF
+NLR	0.768	0.728–0.805	0.0097

^aThe baseline model includes variables that are significant in multivariate logistic regression analysis, including male, PaO₂/FiO₂, Hb, lactate, and vasoactive drugs. IMV, invasive mechanical ventilation; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; NLR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval; RF, reference.
