Prognostic nomogram incorporating neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio for early mortality in decompensated liver cirrhosis.

•A nomogram incorporating NLR to predict 30-day mortality in cirrhotics on acute hepatic deteriorated admission is constructed.•The proposed nomogram from laboratory data maximizes its clinical applicability, in addition to ascertain that it is generalizable and easy to use.•A moderate correlation of NLR with circulating IL-6/IL-8 is orchestrated.•These data indicates static NLR as a grim prognostic indicator of immune dysregulation.
