Table 2_Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as a harbinger of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysi

A single-center retrospective case-control study of 178 peritoneal dialysis patients from January 2010 to October 2024. The dataset, authored by Wenhui Lei, examines the association between pre-infection Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) levels and the risk of developing peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP).

Use Cases

• Predicting peritonitis risk based on pre-infection Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) levels.
• Training binary classification models for infection risk using NLR as a continuous or categorical feature.
• Analyzing dose-response relationships between inflammatory biomarkers and clinical outcomes using logistic regression.
• Evaluating biomarker discriminative ability (AUC) for clinical event prediction.

Strengths

• Includes 178 patient records (89 cases and 89 matched controls) for analysis.
• Provides specific odds ratios (e.g., OR 2.25 per 1-unit ln(NLR) increase) and AUC (0.78) from the study.
• Covers a 14-year time range 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.
