Abstract
Background/Objectives: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common cause of hospitalization and severe cases are usually associated with a poor prognosis. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR) has been pointed as an indicator of systemic inflammation in several disorders. The aim of this study was to assess whether NLR at admission is able to predict severity of AP and some associated outcomes, while trying to establish the best cut-off value for
期刊介绍:
Starting with this issue "Annals of Fundeni Hospital", founded in 1996 as the scientific journal of the prestigious hospital Fundeni becomes "Journal of Translational Medicine and Research" (JTMR), an Journal of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Romania. Therefore, an 18 years old Journal, attested and indexed in Elsevier Bibliographic Databases, Amsterdam and also indexed in SCOPUS, is continuing a tradition of excellence that lasted almost two decades. The new title of the Journal is inspired first of all from the important developments of translational research In Fundeni Clinical Institute and the "C.C Iliescu Institute for Cardio-Vascular Diseases", in parallel with the national and international trend to promote and develop this important area or medical research. Although devoted mainly to translational research, JTMR will continue to promote both basic and clinical research.
