Introduction: The aged bone marrow has a reduced proliferation ability in response to acute clinical status such as intensive care hospitalization. The presence of malnutrition, multiple chronic diseases, and comorbid conditions and the use of multiple pharmacological agents have an impact on the results of hematological tests. In this study, we aimed to determine the possible associations between complete blood counts and the prognosis and mortality of patients admitted to intensive care units.
