White blood cells and neutrophil-to-high density lipoprotein ratio as predictive markers of left ventricular dysfunction in heart failure

Table 5 Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for prediction for reduced left ventricular ejection fraction

	Area under curve (95%CI)	Sensitivity	Specificity	P value
WBC	0.61 (0.53-0.70)	72%	60%	0.009
Neutrophils	0.61 (0.53-0.71)	56%	60%	0.007
Lymphocytes	0.68 (0.61-0.76)	72%	60%	0.001
NHR	0.59 (0.50-0.67)	65%	52%	0.04

WBC: White blood cell; NHR: Neutrophil-to-high density lipoprotein ratio.
