cord-291140-8c8lsy8g	Yufei, Yan	Utility of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and C-reactive protein level for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)	2020-08-17		.txt	text/plain	2362	125	52	This study is aimed at testing the combined usability of NLR and CRP as laboratory parameters, which may provide additional benefits in both the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and the early recognition of complications that may develop as a result of these clinical pictures. Logistic regression analysis was performed using NLR, CRP, WBC, lymphocyte percentage, gender, and age as independent variables and SARS-CoV-2 infection as the dependent variable. The results showed that NLR, CRP, and lymphocyte percentage were possible risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection, among which NLR was the most strongly associated with COVID-19 (OR ¼ 21.517, 95% CI: 5.912-78.317, p < .001). Moreover, our study found that patients with higher severity of pneumonia may have lower lymphocyte percentages and higher NLR, and logistic regression analysis showed that both lymphocyte percentage (OR ¼ 1.248, 95% CI: 1.113-1.399, p < .001) and NLR (OR ¼ 21.517, 95% CI: 5.912-78.317, p < .001) were independent risk factors predicting SARS-CoV-2 infection.	./cache/cord-291140-8c8lsy8g.txt	./txt/cord-291140-8c8lsy8g.txt
