Demographic and disease characteristics of NSCLC sample (N = 186).
ALI, inflammation, depressive symptoms
INFLAMMATION
Complete data is provided for all variables excepting annual household income (n = 170, 16 decline/missing observations).The median value for the PHQ-9 was 5.5 (Q1 = 3, Q3 = 9), corresponding to a mild level of depressive symptoms for the sample. Using classifications for individuals, 64.5% of patients reported depressive symptoms at the none/mild level (n = 120), 27.4% at the moderate level (n = 51), 4.8%% at the moderate to severe level (n = 9), and 3.2% at the severe level (n = 6).SIR biomarker median and quartiles (Q1, Q3) were as follows: NLR 5.39 (Q1 = 3.33, Q3 = 10.70), PLR 224.45 (Q1 = 149.89, Q3 = 341.84), and ALI 18.24 (Q1 = 9.17, Q3 = 34.50). Using the cutoff values (NLR≥5, PLR≥185, and ALI≥24), the majority of the sample had elevated NLR (53%) and PLR (63%). Likewise, 62% of patients had high inflammation as indexed by low ALI.
