Utilizing cell population data for diagnosis and intensive care unit requirement prediction in Fournier gangrene patients

Abstract

It is vital to rapid diagnosis and to determine the intensive care unit (ICU) requirement early to reduce the mortality rate in Fournier gangrene (FG) patients. Cell population data (CPD) are the parameters obtained from complete blood count (CBC) analysis and related to the activation of different leukocyte subgroups. The study aimed to find reliable markers to diagnose and determine the ICU requirement using CPD.
