Background: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been used as an inflammation based prog-nostic marker for various malignancies. This study evaluated the association between NLR and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic gallbladder cancer (GBC)Methods: An optimal cut off point for NLR was identified by plotting spline-based hazard ratio curves to identify a threshold effect and patients were divided into two groups, 5. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted for NLR >= 5 and NLR= 5 had a significantly poor OS compared to those with NLR = 5 was associated with a worse OS compared to NLR = 5 is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in patients with metastatic GBC.
