Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Peritonitis Risk in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

178 patients (89 cases and 89 matched controls) from a retrospective case-control study at a single center between January 2010 and October 2024. The data, authored by Wenhui Lei and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, examines the association between pre-infection NLR levels and the risk of developing peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis.

Use Cases

• Training predictive models for peritonitis risk based on the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio biomarker.
• Validating the NLR as a simple, systemic inflammation biomarker for clinical risk stratification.
• Conducting retrospective epidemiological analysis on infection risk factors in peritoneal dialysis populations.

Strengths

• Includes 178 patient records with a matched 1:1 case-control design.
• Provides specific statistical results, including odds ratios and an AUC of 0.78 for predictive ability.
• Data covers a 14-year period from January 2010 to October 2024.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single center, which may limit generalizability.
