Fig 4.
Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses of the ability of incremental NLR change (NLR D4/D1 > 1) and the pneumonia severity index class to predict 30-day mortality (A) and intensive care unit admission (B) in hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
The area under the curves significantly increased when incremental NLR change was added to the PSI class.
