Longitudinal changes in personalized platelet count metrics are good indicators of initial 3-year outcome in colorectal cancer

Figure 6 Forest plot of univariate Bayesian joint-models. Higher risk of all-cause mortality was associated with a lower lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, hemoglobin-to-platelet ratio, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, personalized platelet count relative to “at-diagnosis”, and personalized platelet count relative to “after-surgery”. Red blood cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio did not affect all-cause mortality of study participants. CrI: Credible interval; HR: Hazard ratio; LMR: Lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio; PLR: Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; NLR: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; HPR: hemoglobin-to-platelet ratio; RPR: red blood cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio; pPLT_D: Personalized platelet count relative to “at-diagnosis”; pPLT_S: Personalized platelet count relative to “after-surgery”. Bayesian statistical methods do not give P values, and evaluation of results was detailed in methods.
