However, it lacks an early effective biomarker to predict disease severity and fatal outcomes successfully. Our study aimed to explore whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) taken within 24 h after admission can predict disease severity and fatality in AIV-H7N9-infected patients %K NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio) %K influenza A %K AIV-H7N9 %K biomarker %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6661995/
