Abstract
Chen et al have conducted an interesting study, investigating the predictive value of neutrophil percentage for postmyocardial infarction prognosis, particularly for assessing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) among older adults. 1 Their findings, revealing a 29% increase in AKI risk for every one standard deviation rise in neutrophil percentages and a risk threshold of 76.1%, offer valuable insights not previously reported. Nevertheless, to enhance the understandability of their conclusions and enrich clinical relevance, we wish to raise several points with regard to data interpretation.
