Objective: To assess the association between the neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and survival in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients with CKD of all stages of the Chronic Kidney Disease Management Unit of Edgardo Rebagliati Martins Hospital between January 2016 and June 2018. The exposure variable was an increased neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR> 3.5) and the outcome variable was survival during the following period. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for the description of the survival function and the crude and adjusted Cox regression for the estimation of the Hazard Ratio (HR) with a 95% CI. Results: A data of 343 patients was analyzed. The mean age was 78.3 (± 11.9) and the male prevalence was 62.9%. The proportion of increased NLR in the population was 14.85% and the overall mortality was 17.6%. The survival function at the end of the follow-up for patients with normal NLR was 76.6% (95% CI 0.68-0.83) and, for the increased NLR group, it was 63.5% (95% CI 0.40-0.79). The median follow-up time was 2.45 years. There was a significant difference between the survival curves of both groups. In the multivariate analysis, the increased NLR variable obtained an adjusted HR of 2.11 (95% CI: 1.10-4.06). Conclusions: In our study, the NLR behaved as an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients with CKD.
