Description
Shanmu Ai and co-authors published a study in 2026 on predicting lung complications in flu patients who lack usual risk factors. Fifty-four such influenza A patients were split by whether lung complications developed. Routine blood counts and four derived inflammation ratios were compared, and symptom details were added into trial prediction models.
Patients with complications showed higher white cell and neutrophil counts and higher inflammation ratios. One ratio, neutrophils to lymphocytes, predicted complications best alone. Adding lower airway symptoms raised accuracy further, and both factors stood as independent risks in the final model. The authors offer the pair as a cheap early warning tool for front-line care.
