INFLAMMATION
Patients with no/low depressive symptoms were as likely to have low ALIs as to have high ALIs (left side). In contrast, for patients with moderate/severe depressive symptoms, significantly more patients had prognostically worse, low ALIs rather than high ALIs (right side). Percentage data are provided with error bars.In contrast, patients with moderate to severe depressive symptoms had, disproportionately, high inflammation rather than low, an effect seen across SIRs. For the depressed, 58% were above the NLR cutoff versus 42% below the cutoff (
