Usefulness of the Lymphocyte Concentration as a Prognostic Marker in Coronary Artery Disease

The prognostic utility of the relative lymphocyte concentration was tested in a population-based study of chronic coronary artery disease. This inexpensive, readily available test was found to be significantly related to survival (p = 0.03) in 211 patients followed for a mean of 45 months.
