Associations between the NLR, PLR, LWR and MPV and amputation in the treatment of DFU. The RCS models were used to investigate the associations between the NLR (A), PLR (B), LWR (C) and MPV (D) and the likelihood of amputation as the treatment of DFUs. Each RCS consisted of four knots on the basis of the distribution of the associated variable. The reference values for the aforementioned curves were as follows: NLR = 6.08; PLR = 210; LWR = 0.1256; and MPV = 9.8. NLR: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; PLR: platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; LWR: lymphocyte-to-WBC ratio; MPV: mean platelet volume; DFU: diabetic foot ulcer; RCS: restricted cubic spline
