Figure 1

The 5-year all-cause mortality after coronary bypass surgery according to preoperative neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and surgical approach(MICS vs. Sternotomy CABG). According to Fisher’s exact test the 5-year mortality rates were higher in the sternotomy CABG patients with NLR >3.4 compared to MICS with NLR >3.4 (p value <0.0001 ). MICS = minimal invasive cardiac surgery; CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting. The average follow-up was 49 ± 15.2 months (range 21–70 months). Total of 467 patients had 5-year follow up period.
