    The study evaluated the prognostic significance of the lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) in elderly patients with severe dysphagia.

  • 2

    Higher log2(LCR) levels were associated with lower mortality, indicating that LCR may serve as a valuable prognostic marker.

  • 3

    Patients in the highest log2(LCR) tertile had a 55% lower risk of death compared to those in the lowest tertile.

  • 4

    Median survival times increased significantly across LCR tertiles, highlighting its potential as a survival predictor.

  • 5

    Early assessment of LCR could help identify high-risk patients, guiding timely interventions to improve outcomes.
