Background: Increased white blood cell (WBC) count is associated with increased mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI
Results: WMR has the highest area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and pairwise comparisons of the ROC curves revealed that WMR has the higher discriminative ability for long-term mortality than WBC, MPV, red blood cell distribution with (RDW), WBC-MPV combination, and platelet to lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (PLR-NLR) combination in patients undergoing PLR-NLR and WBC-MPV combinations.
