Fu DF, Chen B. The relationship between the systemic immune inflammation index and the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in American adolescents. BMC Gastroenterol 2024; 24:233. [PMID: 39044158 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-024-03324-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing health crisis in the general population of the United States (U.S.), but the relationship between systemic immune-inflammation (SII) index and NAFLD is not known. METHODS We collected data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018. Next, propensity score matching (PSM), collinearity analysis, restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot, logistic regression, quantile regression analysis, subgroup analysis, mediation analysis, and population attributable fraction were used to explore the association of the SII with risk of NAFLD. RESULTS A total of 665 participants including the 532 Non-NAFLD and 133 NAFLD were enrolled for further analysis after PSM analysis. The RCS results indicated that there was a linear relationship between the SII and controlled attenuation parameter (p for nonlinear = 0.468), the relationship also existed after adjustment for covariates (p for nonlinear = 0.769). The logistic regression results indicated that a high SII level was an independent risk factor for NAFLD (OR = 3.505, 95% CI: 1.092-11.249, P < 0.05). The quantile regression indicated that at higher quantiles (0.90, and 0.95) the SII was significantly associated with NAFLD (p < 0.05). Mediation analysis indicated that alanine aminotransferase (ALT), triglycerides, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were partially contribute to the relationship between SII and NAFLD. The population attributable fractions indicated that 23.19% (95% CI: 8.22%, 38.17%) of NAFLD cases could be attributed to SII corresponding to 133 NAFLD cases. CONCLUSION There was a positive linear relationship between the SII and the risk of NAFLD. The ALT, triglycerides, and BUN had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the SII and NAFLD.

Wang Z, Liu H, Zhu Q, Chen J, Zhao J, Zeng H. Analysis of the immune-inflammatory indices for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant prostate cancer. BMC Cancer 2024; 24:817. [PMID: 38978000 PMCID: PMC11232225 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-12593-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Several immune-inflammatory indices, including neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lung immune prognostic index (LIPI), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and systemic immune inflammation index (SII), have demonstrated their prognostic values in several solid malignancies. However, Comparisons of superiority with these seven indices' predictive efficacy within metastatic hormone-sensitive PCa (mHSPC) and metastatic castration-resistant PCa (mCRPC) remain uncertain. METHODS We retrospectively included 407 patients diagnosed with mHSPC and 158 patients with mCRPC at West China Hospital from 2005 to 2022. The seven immune-inflammatory indices were computed based on hematological data of mHSPC at initial diagnosis and mCRPC at progression to CRPC. Prognostic value for castration-resistant prostate cancer-free survival (CFS), overall survival (OS), prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival (PSA-PFS) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response was assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves, Cox regression models, and chi-square tests. The predictive performance of each immune-inflammatory index was assessed using the area under the curve (AUC) in time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis and C-index calculation. RESULTS All seven immune-inflammatory indices were significantly associated with CFS and OS in the mHSPC cohort, as well as with PSA response, PSA-PFS, and OS in the mCRPC cohort. In the mHSPC cohort, LIPI consistently exhibited higher AUC values compared to NLR, dNLR, LMR, PLR, SII, and SIRI for predicting CFS and OS. This indicates that LIPI had a superior discriminative ability compared to the other indices (C-index of LIPI: 0.643 and 0.686 for CFS and OS, respectively). Notably, the predictive advantage of LIPI over other indices in the mHSPC stage diminished in the mCRPC stage. CONCLUSIONS This study firstly confirmed the prognostic value of SII, SIRI and LIPI in mHSPC and mCRPC, and revealed that LIPI had a higher predictive power than NLR, dNLR, LMR, PLR, SII and SIRI in mHSPC. These non-invasive indices can enable clinicians to quickly assess the prognosis of patients.

PD-1 Inhibitors Combined with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors with or without Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy for the First-Line Treatment of HBV-Related Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study. J Hepatocell Carcinoma 2024; 11:1157-1170. [PMID: 38911293 PMCID: PMC11193442 DOI: 10.2147/jhc.s457527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Comparing the efficacy and safety of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with or without hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in HBV-related advanced HCC and exploring prognostic predictors of the combined regimen. Patients and Methods A total of 194 patients diagnosed with HBV-related advanced HCC between 2020 and 2022 were included in the study, including 99 in the HAIC combined with PD-1 inhibitors plus TKIs (HPT group) and 95 in the PD-1 inhibitors plus TKIs (PT group). The efficacy was evaluated according to the tumor response rate and survival, and the safety was evaluated according to the adverse events. Results The HPT group showed higher overall response rate and disease control rate than the PT group. The median overall survival (OS) of the HPT group and the PT group were 18.10 months and 12.57 months, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.519, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.374-0.722, P < 0.001). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9.20 months in the HPT group and 6.33 months in the PT group (HR = 0.632, 95% CI: 0.470-0.851, P = 0.002). In addition, albumin bilirubin (ALBI) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) are independent prognostic factors affecting HAIC combined with targeted immunotherapy and can be used as prognostic predictors. Almost all patients included in the study experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of varying degrees of severity, with grade 1-2 adverse events predominating. Conclusion The HPT group had better OS and PFS than the PT group in patients with HBV-related advanced HCC. In addition, high ALBI and high SIRI were associated with poor prognosis in the HAIC combined group.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024:S0278-2391(24)00204-0. [PMID: 38615695 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2024.03.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Predicting the long-term survival in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) patients remains challenging. Inflammatory cell-based indices are emerging as prognostic indicators of oncology. PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the associations between the preoperative systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and the systemic immunoinflammatory index (SII) and the 10-year survival rates in patients with ACC of the head and neck (ACCHN). STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE This retrospective cohort study comprised ACCHN patients treated at the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital between November 2003 and December 2020. PREDICTOR VARIABLE The inflammatory response, assessed using the SIRI and SII, was the predictor variable. The optimal cutoff values were based on the maximum Youden index values (sensitivity + specificity-1). The patients were divided into two groups each, based on the SIRI (low, ≤ 0.15) and (high, > 0.15), and SII (low, ≤ 562.8 and high, > 562.8) values. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLE(S) Overall survival (OS), or the number of days, weeks, or months between treatment initiation and death (or the last follow-up date), was the primary outcome variable. COVARIATES The covariates were classified as demographic (age, gender, body mass index), medical (hypertension, diabetes), inflammatory (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets, lymphocyte-monocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio), and perioperative (tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, tumor size, treatment type). ANALYSES Descriptive, univariate, and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analyses were performed to determine whether the SIRI and SII were independent prognostic factors for OS. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests were used to determine their associations with the OS. RESULTS The study sample comprised 162 patients (mean age, 52 ± 14; males, 39.5%). The median follow-up time was 6.81 ± 0.23, and the 10-year OS rate was 7.68 ± 0.25. The low and high SIRI groups comprised 109 and 53 patients, while the low and high SII groups comprised 116 and 46 patients, respectively. SIRI was identified as a prognostic factor (P < .01; hazard ratio, 2.45; 95% confidence interval, 1.35-4.45). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE The SIRI has the advantages of reproducibility, convenience, noninvasiveness, and affordability, making it a promising prognostic inflammatory index for patients with ACCHN.

Lee Y, Lim YC. Monocyte Count and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index Score as Predictors of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. J Korean Neurosurg Soc 2024; 67:177-185. [PMID: 37734388 PMCID: PMC10924912 DOI: 10.3340/jkns.2023.0182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a major cause of disability in patients who survive aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Systemic inflammatory markers, such as peripheral leukocyte count and systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) score, have been considered predictors of DCI in previous studies. This study aims to investigate which systemic biomarkers are significant predictors of DCI. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, observational, single-center study of 170 patients with SAH admitted between May 2018 and March 2022. We analyzed the patients' clinical and laboratory parameters within 1 hour and 3-4 and 5-7 days after admission. The DCI and non-DCI groups were compared. Variables showing statistical significance in the univariate logistic analysis (p<0.05) were entered into a multivariate regression model. RESULTS Hunt-Hess grade "4-5" at admission, modified Fisher scale grade "3-4" at admission, hydrocephalus, intraventricular hemorrhage, and infection showed statistical significance (p<0.05) on a univariate logistic regression. Lymphocyte and monocyte count at admission, SII scores and C-reactive protein levels on days 3-4, and leukocyte and neutrophil counts on days 5-7 exhibited statistical significance on the univariate logistic regression. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that monocyte count at admission (odds ratio [OR], 1.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-2.65; p=0.036) and SII score at days 3-4 (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.02-2.47; p=0.049) were independent predictors of DCI. CONCLUSION Monocyte count at admission and SII score 3-4 days after rupture are independent predictors of clinical deterioration caused by DCI after aSAH. Peripheral monocytosis may be the primer for the innate immune reaction, and the SII score at days 3-4 can promptly represent the propagated systemic immune reaction toward DCI.

Abstract
This editorial contains comments on the article "Correlation between preoperative systemic immune inflammation index, nutritional risk index, and prognosis of radical resection of liver cancer" in a recent issue of the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery. It pointed out the actuality and importance of the article and focused primarily on the underlying mechanisms making the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) prediction features valuable. There are few publications on both SII and GNRI together in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and patient prognosis after radical surgery. Neutrophils release cytokines, chemokines, and enzymes, degrade extracellular matrix, reduce cell adhesion, and create conditions for tumor cell invasion. Neutrophils promote the adhesion of tumor cells to endothelial cells, through physical anchoring. That results in the migration of tumor cells. Pro-angiogenic factors from platelets enhance tumor angiogenesis to meet tumor cell supply needs. Platelets can form a protective film on the surface of tumor cells. This allows avoiding blood flow damage as well as immune system attack. It also induces the epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of tumor cells that is critical for invasiveness. High SII is also associated with macro- and microvascular invasion and increased numbers of circulating tumor cells. A high GNRI was associated with significantly better progression-free and overall survival. HCC patients are a very special population that requires increased attention. SII and GNRI have significant survival prediction value in both palliative treatment and radical surgery settings. The underlying mechanisms of their possible predictive properties lie in the field of essential cancer features. Those features provide tumor nutrition, growth, and distribution throughout the body, such as vascular invasion. On the other hand, they are tied to the possibility of patients to resist tumor progression and development of complications in both postoperative and cancer-related settings. The article is of considerable interest. It would be helpful to continue the study follow-up to 2 years and longer. External validation of the data is needed.

Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks highly in malignant tumor incidence and mortality rates, severely affecting human health. The predictive value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in CRC prognosis is gaining attention, but there is limited research on the combined preoperative and postoperative SII. This study aims to explore the prognostic value of combined SII on disease-free survival (DFS) in patients undergoing radical surgery for rectal cancer. Methods We enrolled 292 patients with rectal cancer who underwent radical resection at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from May 2018 to September 2020, along with regular follow-ups to document the DFS. Patients' complete blood cell counts were assessed before surgery and between 21-56 days postoperatively. Calculating preoperative and postoperative SII, patients were categorized into four groups based on the optimal cutoff values: (I) low-low group (preoperative SII <449.325 and postoperative SII <568.13); (II) high-low group (preoperative SII ≥449.325 and postoperative SII <568.13); (III) low-high group (preoperative SII <449.325 and postoperative SII ≥568.13); and (IV) high-high group (preoperative SII ≥449.325 and postoperative SII ≥568.13). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis evaluated the prediction efficacy of preoperative, postoperative, and combined SII. Kaplan-Meier analysis generated DFS curves, and Cox regression analysis determined prognostic factors. Results With a median follow-up of 41 months, 65.4% (191/292) patients reached DFS. The clinical pathological features between the four groups are balanced and comparable (P>0.05). The area under the ROC curve for preoperative, postoperative, and combined SII was 0.668 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.6-0.737], 0.696 (95%CI: 0.63-0.763), and 0.741 (95% CI: 0.681-0.802), respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors such as adjuvant therapy, differentiation, vascular invasion, neural invasion, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), significant differences were observed between the high-low group [hazard ratio (HR) =2.403; 95% CI: 1.255-4.602; P=0.008], low-high group (HR =5.058; 95% CI: 2.389-10.71; P<0.001), and high-high group (HR =6.214; 95% CI: 3.474-11.115; P<0.001) compared to the low-low group, with higher risks of adverse outcomes. Conclusions Combined SII has better predictive efficacy than monitoring preoperative or postoperative SII alone in rectal cancer patients undergoing radical surgery.

Association between systemic immune inflammation Index and all-cause mortality in incident peritoneal dialysis-treated CKD patients: a multi-center retrospective cohort study. BMC Nephrol 2024; 25:8. [PMID: 38172773 PMCID: PMC10765751 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-023-03451-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic inflammatory disorders in peritoneal dialysis (PD) contribute to the adverse clinical outcome. Systemic immune inflammation index (SII) is the novel and convenient measurement that is positively associated with various diseases. However, scarce is known regarding the association between SII with all-cause mortality among PD patients. METHODS In this multi-center retrospective cohort study, 1,677 incident patients with PD were enrolled. Eligible patients were stratified into groups based on SII level: tertile 1(< 456.76), tertile 2(456.76 to 819.03), and tertile 3(> 819.03). The primary endpoint was the all-cause mortality. Both Cox regression analysis and competing risk models were used to examine the association between SII and all-cause mortality. Subgroup analysis was performed to assess the influence of the SII tertiles on all-cause mortality in different subgroups. RESULTS During the follow-up period of 30.5 ± 20.0 months, 26.0% (437/1,677) patients died, of whom the SII tertile 3 group accounted for 39.1% (171/437) of the deaths. Patients in the SII tertile 3 group had a higher all-cause mortality rate than patients in the SII tertile 1 and 2 groups (log-rank = 13.037, P < 0.001). The SII tertile 3 group was significantly associated with 80% greater risk (95% confidence interval:1.13 to 2.85; P = 0.013) compared with the SII tertile 1 group in multivariable Cox regression analysis. The competing risk model also indicated that the relationship between SII tertiles and all-cause mortality remains (subdistribution hazard ratio: 1.86; 95% confidence interval: 1.15 to 2.02, P = 0.011). Furthermore, the relationship between the log-transformed SII and all-cause mortality in patients with PD was nearly linear (P = 0.124). CONCLUSION A close relationship was observed between the SII and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing PD, suggesting that more attention should be paid to the SII, which is a convenient and effective measurement in clinical practice.

Abstract
Addictive disorders are associated with systemic and central nervous system inflammation, which may be important for the onset and development of these diseases. Although lymphocyte-related parameters have recently been studied in alcohol use disorder (AUD), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) haven't. Lymphocyte-related ratios, SII and SIRI levels were evaluated between AUD and healthy controls (HC) in this study. It was a retrospective and cross-sectional study. This study included 72 patients with AUD and 184 individuals in the HC group. Lymphocyte related ratios such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), SII and SIRI values were compared. Compared to HC group, NLR (p < 0.001), MLR (p < 0.001), and SIRI (p < 0.001) levels were significantly higher in AUD group. There was also a significant relationship between NLR and AST/ALT ratio in the AUD group (p = 0.022). The results of this study support that AUD is a chronic inflammatory psychiatric disorder. In addition, it may be useful to evaluate these markers in relation to liver enzymes in patients with AUD, as alcohol consumption causes liver damage. These markers may also be used in future studies to assess treatment response and disease severity.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the impact of preoperative systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) on the clinical prognosis of patients undergoing colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. Methods One hundred and sixty CRC patients who underwent surgical treatment in our gastrointestinal surgery department from January 2019 to May 2023 were collected. ROC curves were applied to determine the sensitivity and specificity of SII, determine the optimal cut-off value into low SII and high SII groups, compare the clinicopathological data of SII patients in the two groups, and analyze the postoperative survival of patients in the two groups using Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank methods. Univariate and multifactor COX proportional risk regression models were used to analyze clinical prognostic factors. Results The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of SII for the evaluation of OS in CRC patients was 0.859, and the best cut-off value was 513.53. There was statistical significance (P < 0.05) in terms of tissue grading and diabetes mellitus in both groups. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the overall survival rates of the SII<513.53 group and the SII≥513.53 group were 50.88% (29/57) and 32.04% (33/103), and the overall survival rate of the SII<513.53 group was significantly higher than that of the SII≥513.53 group, and the difference was statistically significance (χ2 = 8.375, P=0.004). COX proportional risk regression showed that TNM stage, lymph node metastases, anastomotic fistula and SII were independent risk factors affecting postoperative survival in patients with CRC. Conclusion Preoperative SII is an independent prognostic factor for CRC, which is simple, convenient, and non-invasive, and can be used to predict the prognosis of CRC patients.

[PMID: 38268655 PMCID: PMC10805057 DOI: 10.14744/semb.2023.43569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Objectives Despite extensive research, there is currently no specific biomarker that reliably and universally indicates treatment response in psoriasis. Multiple studies have evaluated systemic inflammation markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic immune response index (SIRI) in psoriasis patients. However, there are limited studies investigating changes in these markers with biologic therapy. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of biologic therapy on parameters including NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, and SIRI in patients with psoriasis. Methods In this cohort study, we retrospectively evaluated 108 psoriasis patients who were on biological treatment, including interleukin (IL)17, IL23, and IL12/23 inhibitors, for a minimum of 12 weeks. We analyzed Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) scores, complete blood count parameters, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels both before and after 12 weeks of treatment. Results The NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, SIRI, and CRP values all demonstrated a significant decrease, regardless of the specific type of biologic agent (p=0.001, 0.007, 0.011, <0.001, <0.001 and <0.001, respectively). Furthermore, we observed a statistically significant but low correlation between the reduction in PASI scores and PLR, SII, and SIRI values (p=0.036, r=0.202; p=0.042, r=0.196; p=0.023, r=0.219, respectively). Conclusion The NLR, MLR, especially PLR, SII, and SIRI might be used as simple, convenient, and inexpensive laboratory markers to monitor the degree of inflammation and response to treatment after biologic therapy in daily practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Research reports on the relationship between systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and hypertension are limited. We aim to evaluate the possible relationship between SII and hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of adults from the National Nutrition and Health Database from 2017 to 2020. In this study, 13 742 participants were included. The exposure variable in this study was the systemic inflammatory state as defined by SII and an outcome was hypertension. There is a nonlinear association between SII and hypertension. Two piecewise logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationship between them and calculated the cut-off point of SII to be 501.2. We found that SII on the left side of the cut-off point has nothing to do with the prevalence of hypertension. However, in patients with SII at least 501.2, the prevalence of hypertension increased with the increase of SII (odds ratio, 3.13; 95% confidence interval, 2.04-4.81). The nonlinear association between LgSII and hypertension still existed stably in the subgroups of sex, age, BMI, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease ( P for interaction > 0.05). CONCLUSION A cross-sectional analysis reported the threshold effect of SII on and hypertension and calculated the turning point of SII to be 501.2.

Abstract
Background During clinical practice, routine blood tests are commonly performed following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). However, the relationship between blood cell counts, inflammation-related indices, and postoperative complications remains unclear. Method We conducted a retrospective study, including patients who underwent PD from October 2018 to July 2023 at the First Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, and compared baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes among different groups. Neutrophil count (NC), platelet count (PLT), lymphocyte count (LC), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the product of platelet count and neutrophil count (PPN) were derived from postoperative blood test results. We investigated the association between these indicators and outcomes using multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis. The predictive performance of these indicators was assessed by the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA). Result A total of 232 patients were included in this study. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis showed that all indicators, except for PLT, were associated with clinical postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). SII, NLR, and NC were linked to surgical site infection (SSI), while SII, NLR, and PLR were correlated with CD3 complication. PLT levels were related to postoperative hemorrhage. SII (AUC: 0.729), NLR (AUC: 0.713), and NC (AUC: 0.706) effectively predicted clinical POPF. Conclusion In patients undergoing PD, postoperative inflammation-related indices and blood cell counts are associated with various complications. NLR and PLT can serve as primary indicators post-surgery for monitoring complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Klotho, an anti-aging protein, has been identified to control tissue inflammatory responses. The objective of this research is to determine the linkage between soluble Klotho (S-Klotho) level and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). METHODS Eligible participants with complete information of S-Klotho level and SII were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). Subsequently, weighted multivariate linear regression and subgroup analysis were carried out to evaluate the association. RESULTS Totally, 11,108 adults with complete data on S-Klotho level, SII and other important covariates were included in final analysis. Multivariate liner regression revealed that high level of S-Klotho was associated with low level of SII after multivariate adjustments (β=-0.08, 95%CI:-0.10- -0.05, P < 0.01). When classifying S-Klotho into tertiles, participants in S-Klotho tertile 3 (Q3) showed a decrease in SII level compared with those in the lowest tertile (Q1) (β=-45.44, 95%CI:-64.41- -26.47, P < 0.01 ). The negative associations remained significant regardless of age and gender, and varied depending on smoking status and BMI subgroups. CONCLUSION S-Klotho level was negatively related to SII after controlling for covariates. Further studies need to validate current findings and explore the fundamental mechanisms.

Abstract
Background Systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) are combinations of non-specific inflammatory and adaptive immune response impairments associated with cardiovascular disease. Yet little analysis has been done on SII, SIRI and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) prognosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of SII and SIRI with clinical risk factors such as GRACE, Gensini, and QTc after acute myocardial infarction. Methods This study enrolled 310 patients with AMI from February 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022, at our institution. Routine blood items calculated SII and SIRI. Two groups were divided according to whether MACE occurred: the MACE group (81 cases) and the NMACE group (229 cases); each group was divided into three groups according to the SII and SIRI tertiles. The relationship between SII, SIRI and MACE was analyzed using multifactorial logistic regression analysis after adjusting for confounders; ROC curves were plotted to examine the predictive value of SII and SIRI for MACE. The correlation between SII and SIRI and potential risk factors such as Gensini, QTc and GRACE was further analyzed. Results The study enrolled 310 patients, comprising 248 men (80%, mean age 60.73 ± 13.695 years) and 62 women (20%, mean age 69.79 ± 11.555 years). In the regression model completely adjusted for confounders, the risk of MACE was higher in AMI patients with SII > 11.00 [OR = 1.061,95% CI (1.018,1.105)] than in SII < 5.98; the risk of MACE was 115.3% higher in AMI patients with SIRI (1.72-3.68) [OR = 2.153, 95% CI (1.251, 3.705)] was 115.3% higher in AMI patients with SIRI < 1.72 and the risk of MACE was 25.1% higher in AMI patients with SIRI > 3.68 [OR = 1.251, 95% CI (1.123, 1.394)] than in AMI patients with SIRI < 1.72. In addition, SII, SIRI, and potential post-infarction risk factors (Gensini, QTc, and GRACE) were also associated. Conclusion SII and SIRI have been significantly associated with post-myocardial infarction MACE and the predictive potential clinically integrated risk factors in AMI patients, for which more attention should be paid to targeted anti-inflammatory therapy in AMI patients to further reduce the incidence of prognostic MACE in AMI patients.

World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:4571-4579. [PMID: 37621751 PMCID: PMC10445006 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i29.4571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prophylactic enterostomy surgery is a common surgical approach used to reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage in patients who have undergone partial intestinal resection due to trauma or tumors. However, the traditional interrupted suturing technique used in enterostomy closure surgery has several issues, including longer surgical incisions and higher incision tension, which can increase the risk of postoperative complications. To address these issues, scholars have proposed the use of a "gunsight suture" technique. This technique involves using a gunsight incision instead of a traditional linear incision, leaving a gap in the center for the drainage of blood and fluid to reduce the risk of infection. Building on this technique, we propose an improved gunsight suture technique. A drainage tube is placed at the lowest point of the incision and close the gap in the center of the gunsight suture, which theoretically facilitates early postoperative mobility and reduces the burden of dressing changes, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative complications. AIM To compare the effectiveness of improved gunsight suture technique with traditional interrupted suture in closing intestinal stomas. METHODS In this study, a retrospective, single-center case analysis was conducted on 270 patients who underwent prophylactic ileostomy closure surgery at the Department of Colorectal Surgery of Qilu Hospital from April 2017 to December 2021. The patients were divided into two groups: 135 patients received sutures using the improved gunsight method, while the remaining 135 patients were sutured with the traditional interrupted suture method. We collected data on a variety of parameters, such as operation time, postoperative pain score, body temperature, length of hospital stays, laboratory indicators, incidence of incisional complications, number of wound dressing changes, and hospitalization costs. Non-parametric tests and chi-square tests were utilized for data analysis. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in general patient information between the two groups, including the interval between the first surgery and the stoma closure [132 (105, 184) d vs 134 (109, 181) d, P = 0.63], gender ratio (0.64 vs 0.69, P = 0.44), age [62 (52, 68) years vs 60 (52, 68) years, P = 0.33], preoperative body mass index (BMI) [23.83 (21.60, 25.95) kg/m² vs 23.12 (20.94, 25.06) kg/m², P = 0.17]. The incidence of incision infection in the improved gunsight suture group tended to be lower than that in the traditional interrupted suture group [ (n = 2/135, 1.4%) vs (n = 10/135, 7.4%), P < 0.05], and the postoperative hospital stay in the improved gunsight suture group was significantly shorter than that in the traditional interrupted suture group [5 (4, 7) d vs 7 (6, 8) d, P < 0.05]. Additionally, the surgical cost in the modified gunsight suture group was slightly lower than that in the traditional suture group [4840 (4330, 5138) yuan vs 4980 (4726, 5221) yuan, P > 0.05], but there was no significant difference in the total hospitalization cost between the two groups. CONCLUSION In stoma closure surgery, the improved gunsight technique can reduce the incision infection rate, shorten the postoperative hospital stay, reduce wound tension, and provide better wound cosmetic effects compared to traditional interrupted suture.

Abstract
Purpose Internal medicine services serve the patient population with many chronic diseases. Therefore, it is high mortality rates compared to other departments of the hospital. Estimating the prognostic risk of hospitalized patients may be useful in mortality for patients. İn this study, we evaluated the level of Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII) and Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) and its association with mortality in inpatients. Patients and methods This study was performed in 2218 patients who were hospitalized between January 1st-December 31th of 2019. Patients were followed up for three years about primary endpoint as all-cause (except for unnatural deaths) mortality. Participants were divided into 4 equal groups according to their increasing levels of SII and SIRI. (Quartile 1-4) Age, gender, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, malignancies (solid), white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet, CRP, albumin, Systemic Inflammation Response Index (Quartile 1-4), Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (Quartile 1-4) were compared between survival and non-survival groups. Results There were 1153 female and 1065 male participants enrolled. Compared with surviving patients, patients who died were older and had a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, malignancy, chronic kidney disease and coronary artery disease (p < 0.001). There was a lower proportion of female patients among the patients who died. Compared to the survivor group, group who died exhibited a significant increase in CRP level, neutrophil, white blood cell and monocyte counts, but had a lower lymphocyte count, albumin level and hemoglobin count (P < 0.001). Results of Cox regression analysis showed that age, chronic kidney disease, malignancy, SIRI quartile 3, 4 and SII quartile 3, 4 pointed out a close relationship with mortality risk. (P < 0.001). Conclusion The SIRI and SII have indicated the clinical importance of as novel markers for predicting mortality in inpatients.

INTRODUCTION C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin are markers synthesized by the liver and may reflect inflammatory responses. CRP/Albumin ratio (CAR) serves better to reflect the inflammatory state and therefore the prognosis. Worse prognosis is reported in previous studies when CAR rate on admission is high in patients with stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, malignancy or patients followed in intensive care units. We aimed to investigate the relation of CAR with prognosis in mechanical thrombectomy performed acute stroke patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Stroke patients admitted to five different stroke centers between January 2021 and August 2022 undergoing mechanical thrombectomy were included and retrospectively analyzed. The CAR ratio was calculated as the ratio of CRP to albumin level in the venous blood samples. Primary outcome was the relation between CAR and functional outcome at 90 days determined by modified Rankin Scale (mRS). RESULTS This study included 558 patients with a mean age of 66,5 ± 12.5 years (age range:18-89 years) best cutoff value of the CAR was 3.36, with 74.2 % sensitivity and 60.7 % specificity (Area under the curve: 0.774; 95 %CI: 0.693-0.794). There was no significant correlation between CAR rate and age, CAR rate and NIHSS on admission, and also between CAR rate and symptom recanalization (p > 0.05). CAR ratio in the mRS 3-6 group was statistically significantly higher (p < 0.001). In the multivariate analyses, CAR showed an association with 90-day mortality (odds ratio, 1.049; 95 % CI, 1.032-1.066) CONCLUSION: In acute ischemic stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy, CAR may be one of the factors affecting poor clinical outcome and/or mortality in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy. Upcoming similar studies in this patient group may better clarify the prognostic role of CAR.

Liu XR, Wang LL, Zhang B, Liu XY, Li ZW, Kang B, Yuan C, Wei ZQ, Peng D. The advanced lung cancer inflammation index is a prognostic factor for gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. World J Surg Oncol 2023; 21:81. [PMID: 36879283 PMCID: PMC9987069 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-023-02972-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) is a comprehensive assessment indicator that can reflect inflammation and nutrition conditions. However, there are some controversies about whether ALI is an independent prognostic factor for gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing surgical resection. Thus, we aimed to clarify its prognostic value and explore the potential mechanisms. METHODS Four databases including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and CNKI were used for searching eligible studies from inception to June 28, 2022. All gastrointestinal cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric cancer (GC), esophageal cancer (EC), liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancer were enrolled for analysis. We focused on prognosis most in the current meta-analysis. Survival indicators, including overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and cancer-special survival (CSS) were compared between the high ALI group and the low ALI group. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist was submitted as a supplementary document. RESULTS We finally included fourteen studies involving 5091 patients in this meta-analysis. After pooling the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), ALI was found to be an independent prognostic factor for both OS (HR = 2.09, I2 = 92%, 95% CI = 1.53 to 2.85, P < 0.01), DFS (HR = 1.48, I2 = 83%, 95% CI = 1.18 to 1.87, P < 0.01), and CSS (HR = 1.28, I2 = 1%, 95% CI = 1.02 to 1.60, P = 0.03) in gastrointestinal cancer. After subgroup analysis, we found that ALI was still closely related to OS for CRC (HR = 2.26, I2 = 93%, 95% CI = 1.53 to 3.32, P < 0.01) and GC (HR = 1.51, I2 = 40%, 95% CI = 1.13 to 2.04, P = 0.006) patients. As for DFS, ALI also has a predictive value on the prognosis of CRC (HR = 1.54, I2 = 85%, 95% CI = 1.14 to 2.07, P = 0.005) and GC (HR = 1.37, I2 = 0%, 95% CI = 1.09 to 1.73, P = 0.007) patients. CONCLUSION ALI affected gastrointestinal cancer patients in terms of OS, DFS, and CSS. Meanwhile, ALI was a prognostic factor both for CRC and GC patients after subgroup analysis. Patients with low ALI had poorer prognoses. We recommended that surgeons should perform aggressive interventions in patients with low ALI before the operation.

Prognostic value of inflammatory markers and clinical features for survival in advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving anti-programmed death 1 treatment. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1144875. [PMID: 37035159 PMCID: PMC10076857 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1144875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aims to assess the prognostic value of inflammatory markers and clinical features in advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients receiving anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) treatment. Methods Based on receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, Youden's indexes were applied to determine the cut-off values for inflammatory markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocye ratio (dNLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). Wilcoxon test was conducted to evaluate the changes in above inflammatory markers. Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to estimate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and the Log-rank test was used to compare the different survival between groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the prognostic value of inflammatory markers and clinical features. Results 162 advanced or metastatic ESCC patients receiving anti-PD-1 treatment were enrolled in this retrospective study. The cut-off values of NLR, dNLR, MLR, PLR, and SII were 4.748, 2.214, 0.309, 250.505, and 887.895, respectively. NLR, dNLR, PLR, and SII declined significantly among the partial response (PR) (P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.036, P<0.001), objective response rate (ORR) (P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.036, P<0.001), and disease control rate (DCR) (P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.038, P<0.001) groups, respectively. Significant increases were found in NLR (P<0.001), dNLR (P<0.001), MLR (P=0.001), and SII (P=0.024) when anti-PD-1 treatment failed. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that NLR (P<0.001, P=0.002), lymph node metastasis (P=0.013, P=0.001), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) (P=0.008, P=0.002), and treatment lines (P=0.037, P=0.048) were significant prognostic indicators of PFS and OS. Additionally, SII (P=0.016) was also significantly related to OS in ESCC patients. The risk score model showed that low risk patients prolonged PFS and OS than those with middle or high risk (P<0.001, P<0.001). Conclusion Inflammatory markers can reflect short-term outcomes of anti-PD-1 treatment for ESCC patients. NLR, lymph node metastases, ECOG PS, and treatment lines are significant prognostic indicators for PFS and OS. And the risk score model constructed based on the above factors has favourable prognostic predictive value.

Does systemic immune inflammation index have predictive value in gastric cancer prognosis? North Clin Istanb 2023; 10:24-32. [PMID: 36910431 PMCID: PMC9996656 DOI: 10.14744/nci.2021.71324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Revised: 06/20/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some studies have reported that the systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) provide predictive data on prognosis in gastric cancer patients. In the present study, it was aimed to examine the diagnostic and prognostic values of SII and NLR in gastric cancer. METHODS A total of 152 patients, operated with the diagnosis of gastric cancer and followed up in the General Surgery Department of our hospital between January 2012 and April 2018, and 152 healthy controls were included in the study. RESULTS The mean SII (989±685) and the mean NLR (3.9±5.2) were significantly higher in gastric cancer patients than the healthy control group (433±203 and 1.9±0.8, respectively) (p<0.001 for both). In the receiver operating characteristic analyzes, a threshold value of 892 for SII had a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 62.7% in terms of predicting 5-year survival (AUC: 0.637; p=0.076; LB: 0.475; UB: 0.799; CI 95%). The 5-year survival rate was found to be significantly higher in those with a SII of above 892 than those with a SII of 892 and below (p=0.026). The 5-year mortality risk was 0.67-fold lower in those with SII above 892 (p=0.111; 95% CI 0.4-1.1). CONCLUSION The present study findings show that SII and NLR are far from providing reliable data on gastric cancer prognosis.

Abstract
The incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) increases every year. This cardiovascular disease has an inflammatory factor in its etiology due to different immune cells that influence atherogenesis. New inflammatory biomarkers—the Systemic Inflammatory Index (SII) and the Systemic Inflammatory Response (SIRI)—attempt to describe the pro- and anti-inflammatory balance and quantify the complex impact of the immune system on atherosclerosis, while vitamin D has a multidirectional impact on the human body, including the cardiovascular and immune systems. Hence, the objective of this research was to analyze the association between SII and SIRI and serum vitamin D concentrations in patients with IHD. A significant correlation was observed between SIRI and 25(OH)D in the whole group and between both biomarkers (SII and SIRI) and 25(OH)D in the group of patients with ACS but not in the group of patients with stable IHD. The role of vitamin D in IHD complications and its association with new inflammatory biomarkers requires further well-designed, large-scale research.

Effect of the systemic immune-inflammation index on postoperative complications and the long-term prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer: a retrospective cohort study. J Gastrointest Oncol 2022; 13:2333-2339. [PMID: 36388661 PMCID: PMC9660034 DOI: 10.21037/jgo-22-716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract. Surgery is the main way to cure CRC, but the postoperative complication rate and recurrence rate remain high. The systemic immune-inflammation (SII) index reflects a patient's systemic inflammatory state and immune state. Postoperative recurrence and the occurrence of complications are closely related to the inflammatory state and immune state. Thus, the SII index may have some value in predicting postoperative complications and the long-term prognosis of CRC patients, but relevant studies are currently lacking. The present study sought to examine the effect of the SII index on the postoperative complications and long-term prognosis of patients with CRC. METHODS From January 2014 to January 2017, the data of 440 patients with CRC who had been admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University were retrospectively collected, and the patients were equally divided into the high and the low SII groups according to their preoperative SII index levels. The postoperative complication rate and postoperative progression-free survival (PFS) and mortality between the 2 groups were compared. RESULTS Compared to the low SII group, the incidence of postoperative infection in the high SII group was significantly increased (15.45% vs. 9.09%, P=0.042), mortality was significantly increased at 5 years postoperatively (20.91% vs. 7.27%, P<0.001), and PFS was significantly shortened (P<0.001). The SII index had certain predictive value for postoperative infection in CRC patients, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.645 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.559-0.731, P=0.001]. The SII index also had certain predictive value for the progression of CRC patients within 5 years of surgery, and the AUC was 0.670 (95% CI: 0.610-0.729, P<0.001). Additionally, the SII index had certain predictive value for death within 5 years of surgery in patients with CRC, and the AUC was 0.660 (95% CI: 0.593-0.726, P<0.001). CRC patients with postoperative infection had a significantly shorter PFS period than those who did not develop postoperative infection (P=0.029). CONCLUSIONS The SII index has certain predictive value for the diagnosis of postoperative infectious complications and the long-term prognosis of CRC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the major sight-threatening complications of diabetic retinopathy, which is associated with retinal inflammation. However, it is still unknown whether DME is associated with systemic inflammation. The study aimed to investigate the association between systemic inflammatory and optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers in patients with treatment-naïve center-involving diabetic macular edema (DME) and to further explore the role of systemic inflammation in DME. METHODS Medical records including clinical characteristics and ophthalmic examinations were collected from patients with treatment-naïve center-involving DME. Systemic inflammation markers including systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were calculated. OCT biomarkers, including intraretinal cyst (IRC) size, disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL), external limiting membrane (ELM)/ellipsoid zone (EZ) integrity, retinal hyperreflective foci (HRF), subretinal fluid (SRF) and vitreomacular (VM) status were evaluated manually. Correlation analysis and multivariable linear regression models were used to investigate the relationship between systemic inflammatory markers and OCT biomarkers. RESULTS A total of 82 patients with treatment-naïve center-involving DME were included. The number of HRF on OCT was correlated with SII, NLR, and PLR and positively associated with SII (p < 0.001) in both univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. The differences remained largely the same during subgroup analysis controlling DM duration, SRF, and ELM/EZ integrity. No significant association was observed between other OCT biomarkers and blood inflammatory markers. CONCLUSION Retinal HRF in diabetic macular edema is associated with blood inflammatory markers, which supports the theory of HRF's inflammatory nature and emphasizes the important role of inflammation in DME. SII may be a potential marker for DME treatment decisions.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of coronary artery disease (CAD), has a significant inflammatory component. White blood cell count is an affordable and accessible way to assess the systemic immune response, as it comprises many subgroups with distinct and complex functions. Considering their multidirectional effect on atherosclerosis, new biomarkers integrating various leukocyte subgroups, the Systemic Inflammatory Index (SII) and the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), were recently devised to describe the balance between inflammation and immune reaction. This research aimed to evaluate the relationship of the intensity of inflammation measured by these biomarkers with the severity of CAD assessed with coronary angiography and with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or stable CAD in 699 patients. SIRI, but not SII, was associated with the diagnosis, having the highest values for patients with ACS (STEMI), significantly higher than in patients with stable CAD (p < 0.01). The highest SII and SIRI values were observed in patients with three-vessel CAD. SII and SIRI require further in-depth and well-designed research to evaluate their potential in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is the primary malignant bone tumor that most commonly affects children and adolescents. Recent years effective chemotherapy have improved the 5-year survival in osteosarcoma patients to up to 60%-70%. Still, there is a lack of novel therapeutic strategies to enhance further survival. Our study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of pretreatment inflammatory-based parameters, including PLT, NLR, and SII, as prognostic indicators of survival in pediatric osteosarcoma patients. Methods A total of 86 pediatric osteosarcoma patients between 2012 and 2021 in the Department of Orthopedics or tumor Surgery of Children's Hospital affiliated to Chongqing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological variables and systematic inflammatory biomarkers, including NLR, PLR and SII, was performed by the A Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Cox proportional risk regression model. According to the results of multivariate analysis, a prognostic nomogram was generated, and the concordance index (C-index) was calculated to predict the performance of the established nomogram. The survival curve was plotted by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Univariate analysis showed that TNM stage, tumor size, NLR value, PLR value, SII value, neutrophil count and platelet count were related to CSS (p < 0.05). According to multivariate analysis, only TNM stage (p = 0.006) and SII values (p = 0.015) were associated with poor prognosis.To further predict survival in pediatric osteosarcoma patients, multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to predict cancer-specific survival at 1, 3 and 5 years. And constructed a nomogram model to predict children's CSS. The C-index of the nomogram is 0.776 (95%CI, 0.776–0.910), indicating that the model has good accuracy. Conclusion Preoperative SII and TNM staging are independent prognostic markers for pediatric osteosarcoma patients. SII may be used in conjunction with TNM staging for individualized treatment of pediatric osteosarcoma patients in future clinical work.

Abstract
Background Chronic inflammatory disorders in atrial fibrillation (AF) contribute to the onset of ischemic stroke. Systemic immune inflammation index (SIII) and system inflammation response index (SIRI) are the two novel and convenient measurements that are positively associated with body inflammation. However, little is known regarding the association between SIII/SIRI with the presence of AF among the patients with ischemic stroke. Methods A total of 526 ischemic stroke patients (173 with AF and 353 without AF) were consecutively enrolled in our study from January 2017 to June 2019. SIII and SIRI were measured in both groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the potential association between SIII/SIRI and the presence of AF. Finally, the correlation between hospitalization expenses, changes in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores and SIII/SIRI values were measured. Results In patients with ischemic stroke, SIII and SIRI values were significantly higher in AF patients than in non-AF patients (all p < 0.001). Moreover, with increasing quartiles of SIII and SIRI in all patients, the proportion of patients with AF was higher than that of non-AF patients gradually. Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that log-transformed SIII and log-transformed SIRI were independently associated with the presence of AF in patients with ischemic stroke (log-transformed SIII: odds ratio [OR]: 1.047, 95% confidence interval CI = 0.322–1.105, p = 0.047; log-transformed SIRI: OR: 6.197, 95% CI = 2.196–17.484, p = 0.001). Finally, a positive correlation between hospitalization expenses, changes in the NIHSS scores and SIII/SIRI were found, which were more significant in patients with AF (all p < 0.05). Conclusions Our study suggests SIII and SIRI are convenient and effective measurements for predicting the presence of AF in patients with ischemic stroke. Moreover, they were correlated with increased financial burden and poor short-term prognosis in AF patients presenting with ischemic stroke.

Huang W, Luo J, Wen J, Jiang M. The Relationship Between Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index and Prognosis of Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review. Front Surg 2022; 9:898304. [PMID: 35846963 PMCID: PMC9280894 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.898304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The relationship between systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and the prognosis of cancer has always been a subject of intense interest. However, the prognostic value of SII in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains a controversial topic. Objective To evaluate the effect of SII index on prognosis of NSCLC. Methods We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases to determine correlation between SII index, clinicopathological features, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs) were used to assess the connection between SII and clinicopathological parameters, and HRs and 95% CIs were used to assess the connection between SII and survival. Results Seventeen studies with 8,877 cases were included in the analysis. Compared with NSCLC patients with low SII level, patients with NSCLC with high SII level had a poor OS (HR = 1.75, 95% CI, 1.50–2.00; P < 0.001) and had a poor PFS (HR = 1.61, 95% CI, 1.25–1.96; P < 0.001). In addition, patients with higher pathological stage (II–III) had higher SII levels (OR = 2.32, 95% CI, 2.06–2.62; P < 0.001). Conclusions The SII index is a promising prognostic biomarker for NSCLC and may help clinicians choose appropriate NSCLC treatments.

Abstract
AIM To investigate systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as prognostic factors and establish a nomogram based on SII for the prediction of survival in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS One hundred and fifty-five DLBCL patients were randomized into primary (N = 100) and validation (N = 55) cohorts. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression models were used to evaluate the impact of SII on survival. The nomogram based on SII was analyzed by using R software. RESULTS Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that high SII (>1684.), C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR > 0.21), and age-adjusted International Prognostic Index (aaIPI) score were independent predictors of overall survival (OS). High SII and aaIPI were independent predictors of progression-free survival. The nomogram had better accuracy and discrimination than the International Prognostic Index, National Comprehensive Cancer Network-International Prognostic Index, and aaIPI systems. The concordance index values of the nomogram for OS were 0.885 in the primary cohort and 0.821 in the validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that SII, CAR, and aaIPI could be used to judge the prognosis of DLBCL patients. The nomogram was a reliable model for predicting the OS of DLBCL patients.

Abstract
The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors has changed the therapeutic possibilities for various cancer types. However, despite the success in some entities, a significant fraction of patients does not respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors. A functioning cancer-immunity cycle is needed as the precondition for a clinically meaningful response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. It is assumed that only if each step of the cycle is activated and functioning properly, immune checkpoint inhibitors induce a meaningful immune response. However, an activated cancer-immunity cycle might not be present equally in each patient and cancer type. Ideally, treatment concepts should consider each single step of the cancer-immunity cycle and provide personalized treatment approaches, allowing the adaption to functioning and malfunctioning steps of the individual patient’s specific cancer-immunity cycle. In the following review, we provide an overview of the single steps of the cancer-immunity cycle as well as the impact of malfunctioning steps on the generation of an effective tumor-specific immune response.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Locally advanced cervical cancer is still a major cause of mortality in developing countries. Recently, personalized medicine has changed the treatment paradigm for many solid cancers but no robust biomarkers has yet been validated for predicting response to chemo radiation in cervical cancer patients. AIM To assess the role of hematological parameters as a cost-effective predictive marker of response to concurrent chemo radiation in cervical cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHOD This is a retrospective analysis of 90 cervical cancer patients treated with concurrent chemo radiation in a tertiary cancer center. Clinical details of the patients were extracted from the case records. For end point evaluation, the pre-treatment levels of hemoglobin, neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were compared and statistically analyzed between responders and non-responders. The optimal cutoff values of hematological parameters were estimated by the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. RESULT Out of 90 patients, 60 (66.66%) were complete responders and remaining 30 (33.33%) were non-responders. The mean value of platelet, NLR, and PLR was significantly higher in the non-responder group. ROC curve analysis showed the optimal cut-off value of pre-treatment Hb, PLT, NLR and PLR to be 11 gm/dl, 3, 177 × 109/L, and 70 respectively. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that simple hematological markers like NLR, PLT count and PLR could be used as a cost effective pretreatment predictive marker for response to chemo radiation in cervical cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a potentially life-threatening complication of pregnancy. The identification of early prognostic markers in patients diagnosed with PPCM is very important. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a new inflammatory biomarker, and the aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of SII in patients with PPCM. Methods A total of 61 patients with PPCM who were admitted in our hospital from 2015 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. The follow-up period of all patients was at least 6 months after diagnosis. Recovery of left ventricular (LV) systolic function was defined as the presence of left ventricular ejection fraction > 45%. The second endpoint was defined as composite adverse cardiac events, including cardiac death or hospitalization due to worsening heart failure. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to determine the independent predictors of non-recovery of LV systolic function. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to establish a cut-off level of SII value to predict persistent LV systolic dysfunction. Results The follow-up duration was 40.5 ± 16.3 months. Among the 61 patients, 43 patients showed left ventricular recovery and 18 patients did not at the last follow-up visit. The baseline SII levels were significantly higher in the non-recovery group (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that the SII and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) were independent predictors of persistent LV systolic dysfunction (OR: 1.177, 95% CI: 1.038–1.335, P = 0.011 and OR: 1.148, 95% CI: 1.011–1.304, P = 0.033, respectively). A SII value of 876 was the best cut-off value (the area under the curve was 0.791, 95% CI: 0.667–0.915, P < 0.05), and the sensitivity and specificity were 73 and 71%, respectively. Conclusions The SII and LVEDD are independent prognostic factors for persistent LV systolic dysfunction in patients with PPCM. The SII may be a useful tool for identifying high-risk PPCM patients.

Abstract
The role of inflammation has been identified in the pathogenesis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and white blood cells (WBC) can be used to predict a systemic inflammatory response. Changes in NLR and WBC levels have never been explored in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients with DKA and an uninfected state. This retrospective study included a total of 644 participants. NLR and WBC were measured in the control group (n = 316) and in T1DM patients with mild-DKA (n = 92), severe-DKA (n = 52), and non-DKA (n = 184) in an uninfected state. Then, we assessed the independent predictors of DKA occurrence in T1DM patients in an uninfected state. The diagnostic performance of variables was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Serum NLR of T1DM patients is significantly higher than that of normal controls, and if DKA occurs, NLR increases further and increases with the severity of DKA. In addition to diastolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and WBC, NLR was also independently associated with DKA in T1DM patients with an uninfected state (OR = 1.386, 95% CI: 1.127-1.705, p = 0.002). Furthermore, the diagnosis analysis showed that except for NLR and WBC, the area under the curve (AUC) of indicators with a statistical difference in patients with and without DKA were 0.747 for DKA diagnosis, and after the addition of NLR and WBC, the AUC was 0.806. The increased NLR level represents a low-cost and highly accessible predictor for DKA in T1DM patients with an uninfected state. The addition of inflammation indicators can play a statistically significant role in the prediction model of the DKA occurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio, system inflammation response index, and systemic immune inflammation index are three systemic immune and inflammation indexes that were investigated for their diagnostic and prognostic proficiencies in cardiovascular diseases and cancers. However, their predictive values for invasive aspergillosis have not yet been studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio, system inflammation response index, and systemic immune inflammation index levels and their diagnostic values in invasive aspergillosis. METHODS A total of 23 patients with invasive aspergillosis and 23 sex- and age-matched healthy participants were included in this study. Complete blood count parameters and liver function tests were studied. Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio, system inflammation response index, and systemic immune inflammation index were calculated. RESULTS Leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte levels were statistically significantly higher in IA group (p=0.031, p=0.027, p=0.033, and p=0.001, respectively). In invasive aspergillosis group, platelets were numerically lower; Aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactic dehydrogenase levels were numerically higher than those in control group but differences between levels were not statistically significant (p>0.05). The γ-glutamyl transpeptidase levels of patients were statistically significantly higher (p=0.007), and in addition, statistically significant differences were found between groups in terms of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio, system inflammation response index, and systemic immune inflammation index (p<0.001, p=0.037, p=0.001, respectively). Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed, and areas under the curves were evaluated. gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio had the higher area under the curve than systemic immune inflammation index and system inflammation response index (AUC 0.849, 0.798, 0.693, respectively). The results from receiver operating characteristic analysis of the data suggested that the use of a cutoff value of 0.15 for gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio would be optimum for clinical use to confirm independent predictors of patients with invasive aspergillosis. CONCLUSIONS Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio is an independent, a useful predictor, and is superior to other evaluated markers in the diagnosis of inflammation in invasive aspergillosis. Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-platelet ratio may also be a helpful biomarker for clinicians to follow-up the inflammatory process of these patients.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in diffuse glioma, and to establish a prognostic nomogram accordingly.The hematologic and clinicopathological data of 162 patients with primary diffuse glioma who received surgical treatment from January 2012 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was carried out to determine the optimal cut-off values for NLR, MLR, PLR, age, and Ki-67 index, respectively. Kaplan-Meier method was used to investigate the correlation between inflammatory indicators and prognosis of glioma patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were performed to evaluate the independent prognostic value of each parameter in glioma. Then, a nomogram was developed to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year postoperative survival in diffuse glioma patients based on independent prognostic factors. Subsequent time-dependent ROC curve, calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and concordance index (C-index) were performed to assess the predictive performance of the nomogram.The Kaplan-Meier curve indicated that patients with high levels of NLR, MLR, and PLR had a poor prognosis. In addition, we found that NLR level was associated with World Health Organization (WHO) grade and IDH status of glioma. The multivariate Cox analysis indicated that resection extent, WHO grade, and NLR level were independent prognostic factors, and we established a nomogram that included these three parameters. The evaluation of the nomogram indicated that the nomogram had a good predictive performance, and the addition of NLR could improve the accuracy.NLR, MLR, and PLR were prognostic factors of diffuse glioma. In addition, the nomogram including NLR was reliable for predicting survival of diffuse glioma patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective study of patients with osteosarcoma investigated the following biomarkers of inflammation and nutritional status: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). The efficacies of these indicators to predict overall survival (OS) of young and elderly patients were compared. METHODS The data of 125 patients with osteosarcoma, comprising the young (≤20 years) and elderly (60-80 years), were reviewed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated to determine the optimal cut-off value and area under the ROC curve of each potential biomarker. Kaplan-Meier curves and a Cox proportional hazards model were used to perform survival analyses. RESULTS The cut-off values for low and high PNI ( ≤48.5, >48.5) and low and high SII (≤607.3, >607.3) were determined. Osteosarcoma patients in low PNI group or high SII group exhibited poorer OS relative to those in high PNI or low SII groups. The univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that preoperative PNI and SII were independent prognostic factors for OS in both the young and elderly subjects. CONCLUSION Preoperative PNI and SII can be viable biomarkers of prognosis for both young and elderly patients with osteosarcoma. Awareness of these valuable indexes will enable clinicians to evaluate the inflammatory and nutritional status of these patients and establish a framework for individualized therapy.

Abstract
Background: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel biomarker that reflects the state of a patient's inflammatory and immune status. This study aimed to determine the clinical significance of SII as a predictor of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods: Retrospective data were collected from aneurysmal SAH patients who had been admitted to our hospital between January 2015 and October 2019. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate whether SII was an independent predictor of DCI. In addition, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were also evaluated. Results: There were 333 patients with aneurysmal SAH included in this study. Multivariate logistic analysis revealed that a modified Fisher grade 3 and 4 score [odds ratio (OR) = 7.851, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.312–26.661, P = 0.001] and elevated SII (OR = 1.001, 95% CI: 1.001–1.002, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for DCI. ROC curves showed that SII could predict DCI with an AUC of 0.860 (95% CI: 0.818–0.896, P < 0.001). The optimal cut-off value for SII to predict DCI was 1,424, and an SII ≥ 1,424 could predict DCI with a sensitivity of 93.1% and a specificity of 68.1%. Patients with higher SII value on admission tended to have higher incidence of acute hydrocephalus and DCI, greater modified Fisher and Hunt-Hess scales, and poorer outcomes. Conclusions: SII is an independent predictor of DCI in patients with aneurysmal SAH. The SII system can be implemented in a routine clinical setting to help clinicians diagnose patients with high risk of DCI.

Prognostic Significance of Admission Systemic Inflammation Response Index in Patients With Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis. Front Neurol 2021; 12:718032.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for ~15% of all strokes and is associated with high mortality and disability rates. The systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) is a novel systemic inflammatory marker based on peripheral neutrophil, monocyte, and lymphocyte counts. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of admission SIRI in patients with spontaneous ICH and compare its predictive ability with that of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). This retrospective study was conducted based on a prospectively collected database of patients with ICH between June 2016 and January 2019. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to adjust for potential imbalances in the clinical parameters. A total of 403 patients were included in the original cohort. The optimal SIRI cut-off value was 2.76. After 1:1 PSM based on potential confounding variables, a new cohort containing 262 patients was established for further analysis. In the original cohort, SIRI served as an independent predictor of 3-month functional outcome [odds ratio (OR), 1.302; 95% CI, 1.120–1.512; p = 0.001] and 1-month mortality (OR, 1.072; 95% CI, 1.020–1.126; p = 0.006), while NLR was independently associated with only 3-month functional outcomes (OR, 1.051; 95% CI, 1.004–1.100; p = 0.031) and not 1-month mortality. The same applied to the PSM cohort. Receiver operating characteristic analyses and predictive models indicated that in most instances, SIRI was superior to NLR and their components in predicting the outcomes of patients with ICH. Our study found that SIRI is determined to be an independent predictive indicator for ICH patients in 3-month functional outcomes and 1-month mortality. The prognostic predictive ability of SIRI was stronger than that of NLR.

Abstract
Background : This research aimed to examine and analyze risk factors for death, hematologic parameters and coagulation in COVID-19 patients at RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya, one of the referral centers for probable COVID-19 patient cases in East Java. Method : This was a retrospective analytical study by taking secondary data on patients with probable COVID-19 cases who were treated in hospital isolation rooms from May to September, 2020. Result : Of 538 probable COVID-19 patients, 217 tested positive, with an average age of 52.11±13.12 years, and there were 38 death cases. Hematologic parameters, such as white blood cell, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, were significantly different in the deceased group. On the other hand, coagulation parameters, consisting of D-dimer, CRP, PT, and aPTT showed significantly similar value in the deceased group. Univatiate analysis concluded that chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, WBC, NLR, and PPT counts could predict the mortality, while multivariate analysis revealed that coronary heart disease was the only significant independent predictor of mortality. Conclusion : This research shows that hematologic and coagulation parameters were increased in the majority of COVID-19 patients and the deceased group. While the number of neutrophils and WBC increases, the number of lymphocytes decreases significantly with increasing disease severity. Coronary heart disease is an independent predictor of mortality.

Comparison of Selected Immune and Hematological Parameters and Their Impact on Survival in Patients with HPV-Related and HPV-Unrelated Oropharyngeal Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13133256. [PMID: 34209764 PMCID: PMC8268778 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13133256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Revised: 06/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary This is a research article on oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). The aim of the study was to assess and compare basic immune parameters and ratios in patients with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)+ and HPV− OPC, before and after radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT), and to investigate their impact on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic immune inflammation (SII) are significant adverse prognostic factors for HPV+ OPC patients, because they are significantly associated with both inferior OS and DFS in this group, whereas the higher platelet cells (PLT) count is significant adverse prognostic factor for HPV− OPC patients, because it is significantly associated with inferior OS and DFS in this group. This study confirmed that determination of HPV etiology as well as analysis of various hematological and immune parameters should be a standard management in OPC patients in order to properly treat them for improved prognosis. Abstract Several immune and hematological parameters are associated with survival in patients with oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). The aim of the study was to analyze selected immune and hematological parameters of patients with HPV-related (HPV+) and HPV-unrelated (HPV−) OPC, before and after radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy (RT/CRT) and to assess the impact of these parameters on survival. One hundred twenty seven patients with HPV+ and HPV− OPC, treated with RT alone or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT), were included. Patients were divided according to HPV status. Confirmation of HPV etiology was obtained from FFPE (Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded) tissue samples and/or extracellular circulating HPV DNA was determined. The pre-treatment and post-treatment laboratory blood parameters were compared in both groups. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and systemic immune inflammation (SII) index were calculated. The impact of these parameters on overall (OS) and disease-free (DFS) survival was analyzed. In HPV+ patients, a high pre-treatment white blood cells (WBC) count (>8.33 /mm3), NLR (>2.13), SII (>448.60) significantly correlated with reduced OS, whereas high NLR (>2.29), SII (>462.58) significantly correlated with reduced DFS. A higher pre-treatment NLR and SII were significant poor prognostic factors for both OS and DFS in the HPV+ group. These associations were not apparent in HPV− patients. There are different pre-treatment and post-treatment immune and hematological prognostic factors for OS and DFS in HPV+ and HPV− patients. The immune ratios could be considered valuable biomarkers for risk stratification and differentiation for HPV− and HPV+ OPC patients.

Physical activity attenuates the associations of systemic immune-inflammation index with total and cause-specific mortality among middle-aged and older populations. Sci Rep 2021; 11:12532. [PMID: 34131164 PMCID: PMC8206152 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-91324-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) emerged as a biomarker of chronic inflammation and an independent prognostic factor for many cancers. We aimed to investigate the associations of SII level with total and cause-specific mortality risks in the general populations, and the potential modification effects of lifestyle-related factors on the above associations. In this study, we included 30,521 subjects from the Dongfeng-Tongji (DFTJ) cohort and 25,761 subjects from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999–2014. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the associations of SII with mortality from all-cause, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer and other causes. In the DFTJ cohort, compared to subjects in the low SII subgroup, those within the middle and high SII subgroups had increased risks of total mortality [hazard ratio, HR (95% confidence interval, CI) = 1.12 (1.03–1.22) and 1.26 (1.16–1.36), respectively) and CVD mortality [HR (95%CI) = 1.36 (1.19–1.55) and 1.50 (1.32–1.71), respectively]; those within the high SII subgroup had a higher risk of other causes mortality [HR (95%CI) = 1.28 (1.09–1.49)]. In the NHANES 1999–2014, subjects in the high SII subgroup had higher risks of total, CVD, cancer and other causes mortality [HR (95%CI) = 1.38 (1.27–1.49), 1.33 (1.11–1.59), 1.22 (1.04–1.45) and 1.47 (1.32–1.63), respectively]. For subjects with a high level of SII, physical activity could attenuate a separate 30% and 32% risk of total and CVD mortality in the DFTJ cohort, and a separate 41% and 59% risk of total and CVD mortality in the NHANES 1999–2014. Our study suggested high SII level may increase total and CVD mortality in the general populations and physical activity exerted a beneficial effect on the above associations.

Abstract
Background The predictive value of systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) was confirmed in some malignant tumors. However, few studies investigated the prognostic value of SIRI in high-grade gliomas. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic relationship of preoperative SIRI in high-grade gliomas and established a nomogram accordingly. Methods Data of operable high-grade glioma patients were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier, log-rank test, cox regression and propensity score matching (PSM) analysis were used to analyze survival. ROC curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to compare the ability of preoperative SIRI, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) to predict prognosis. A nomogram based on the results was established. The consistency index (C-index) was calculated and a calibration curve was drawn.The prediction effect of the nomogram and WHO grade was compared by AUC. Results A total of 105 patients were included. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the overall survival (OS) of grade III gliomas patients with lower preoperative SIRI (SIRI<1.26) was significantly prolonged (p=0.037), and grade IV gliomas patients with lower preoperative SIRI had a tendency to obtain longer OS (p = 0.107). Cox regression showed preoperative SIRI was an independent prognostic factor for grade IV and grade III glioma, however, in IDH mutant-type IV gliomas, patients with lower SIRI only showed a tendency to obtain better OS. Similar results were obtained in PSM. The prognostic value of SIRI were better than PLR and MLR by ROC analysis. And in grade IV gliomas, the predictive value of SIRI was better than NLR. The nomogram established based on preoperative SIRI, age, extent of resection, number of gliomas, MGMT methylation status and histological types (only in grade III gliomas) could predict the prognosis more accurately. Conclusion SIRI was valuable for prognosis prediction in high-grade glioma. The nomogram covering SIRI could more accurately predict the survival rate in operable high-grade glioma patients.

Abstract
Purpose: Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare type of extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but the prognostic value of blood parameters indicating systemic inflammation and nutritional status remains unknown. We aim to explore the prognostic role of blood parameters in PCNSL. Methods: All PCNSL patients diagnosed at West China Hospital between February 2011 and February 2020 were retrospectively screened. For patients who were initially treated with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based therapy, clinical data were collected. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan–Meier method and multivariable Cox proportional regression. The accuracies of different multivariate models were assessed by Harrell's C statistical analysis (C-index). Results: Sixty patients were included. Median overall survival (OS) was 4.8 ± 3.7 years, and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 1.9 ± 1.3 years. In the multivariate analysis, hemoglobin (Hb) (HR 3.940, p = 0.013), neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (HR 10.548, p = 0.034), and total bilirubin (TBIL) (HR 3.429, p = 0.004) had independent prognostic values for PFS, while lymphocyte–monocyte ratio (LMR) (HR 6.195, p = 0.039), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) (HR 5.144, p = 0.012), and TBIL (HR 3.892, p = 0.009) were independently related to OS. The C-index of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) score increased from 0.57 to 0.72 when SII and TBIL were combined. Conclusions: Our study indicated that pretreatment Hb, NLR, SII, LMR, and TBIL were convenient prognostic factors in PCNSL. Adding SII and TBIL to the MSKCC score can better predict the survival of PCNSL based on HD-MTX regimens.

Abstract
Background Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), an aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, has a poor prognosis. Currently available prognostic scoring systems are inadequate. We therefore aimed to investigate the predictive values of complete blood counts (CBCs) in PCNSL. Materials and Methods The cohort of this retrospective study comprised 73 PCNSL patients. The predictive values of selected CBCs, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), were analyzed. Results Ages and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) scores of PCNSL patients correlated with NLR, PLR, and SII values (p <0.05). Both age and MSKCC scores correlated with inferior progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (p <0.05). High NLR, PLR, SII, and SIRI were significant predictors of shorter PFS and OS (p <0.05). NLR, PLR, SII, and SIRI were integrated to generate a “CBC score” model that accurately stratified PCNSL patients into three risk groups. The median PFS for low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk groups were 24 ((12.458–35.542), 17 (10.626–23.374), and 9 (8.893–19.107) months, respectively (p = 0.011), and the median OS were 33 (19.175–46.825), 18 (16.368–19.632), and 9 (6.521–11.479) months, respectively (p = 0.008). Multivariate Cox regression model showed that MSKCC score (hazard ratio (HR) = 3.791, p <0.001), PLR (HR = 1.003, p = 0.013), and CBC score (HR = 1.873, p = 0.011) were independent predictors for PFS, whereas MSKCC score (HR = 4.128, p <0.001), PLR (HR = 1.003, p = 0.005), and CBC score (HR = 1.907, p = 0.004) were independent predictors for OS. Conclusion The CBC score model may be a promising predictive system for PCNSL patients.

Abstract
Simple Summary Colorectal cancer accounts for approximately 10% of all annually diagnosed cancers worldwide being liver metastasis, the most common cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer. The interplay between tumor and stromal cells in the primary tumor microenvironment and at distant metastases are rising in importance as potential mechanisms of the tumor progression. In this review we discuss the new biomarkers derived from tumor microenvironment and liquid biopsy as emerging prognostic and treatments response markers for metastatic colorectal cancer. We also review the developing new clinical strategies based on tumor microenvironmental cells to tackle metastatic disease in metastatic colorectal cancer patients. Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in western countries. Its mortality rate varies greatly, depending on the stage of the disease. The main cause of CRC mortality is metastasis, which most commonly affects the liver. The role of tumor microenvironment in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis development has been widely studied. In this review we summarize the role of the tumor microenvironment in the liver pre-metastatic niche formation, paying attention to the distant cellular crosstalk mediated by exosomes. Moreover, and based on the prognostic and predictive capacity of alterations in the stromal compartment of tumors, we describe the role of tumor microenvironment cells and related liquid biopsy biomarkers in the delivery of precise medication for metastatic CRC. Finally, we evaluate the different clinical strategies to prevent and treat liver metastatic disease, based on the targeting of the tumor microenvironment. Specifically, targeting angiogenesis pathways and regulating immune response are two important research pipelines that are being widely developed and promise great benefits.

Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index and Changes of Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio as Prognostic Biomarkers for Patients With Pancreatic Cancer Treated With Immune Checkpoint Blockade. Front Oncol 2021; 11:585271. [PMID: 33718140 PMCID: PMC7943876 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.585271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The efficacy of current treatment regimens for pancreatic cancer (PC) remains unsatisfactory. In recent years, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has shown promising anti-tumor outcomes in many malignancies, including PC. Inexpensive and readily available biomarkers which predict therapeutic responses and prognosis are in critical need. Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are emerging predictors for prognosis of various tumors. We aim to investigate the prognostic significance of baseline SII, NLR, and their changes in PC patients treated with ICB. Our retrospective analysis included PC patients treated with ICB therapy in the Chinese PLA General Hospital. All demographic, biological, and clinical data were extracted from medical records. Relative changes of SII after two doses of ICB were defined as ΔSII% and calculated as (SIIafter 2 doses-SIIbaseline)/SIIbaseline, and so was the case for ΔNLR%. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared using Kaplan-Meier curves. The prognostic significance of baseline SII, NLR, and their changes was assessed in univariate and multivariate analyses using the Cox proportional hazard regression model. In total, 122 patients with PC treated with ICB were included in the present analysis. Elevated baseline SII (HR=3.28; 95% CI:1.98–5.27; P=0.03) and ΔNLR% (HR=2.21; 95% CI:1.03–4.74; P=0.04) were significantly correlated with an increased risk of death. For PC patients receiving ICB combined with chemotherapies or radiotherapies as the first-line treatment, increased baseline SII was a negative predictor for both OS (HR=8.06; 95% CI:1.71–37.86; P=0.01) and PFS (HR=2.84; 95%CI:1.37–10.38; P=0.04). Our study reveals the prognostic value of baseline SII and NLR changes in PC patients receiving ICB therapy. The clinical utility of these prognostic biomarkers needs to be further studied in prospective studies.

The Associations of Two Novel Inflammation Indexes, SII and SIRI with the Risks for Cardiovascular Diseases and All-Cause Mortality: A Ten-Year Follow-Up Study in 85,154 Individuals. J Inflamm Res 2021; 14:131-140. [PMID: 33500649 PMCID: PMC7822090 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s283835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 94] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2020] [Accepted: 12/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background SII and SIRI are two novel systemic inflammation indexes that were suggested in predicting poor outcomes in cancers. However, no studies have examined their effect on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and all-cause mortality. Thus, this study aims to investigate associations between SII, SIRI, and the risks for CVDs and all-cause mortality. Methods A total of 85,154 participants from the Kailuan cohort were included and followed up for incidents of CVDs (including MI, stroke) and all-cause death for 10 years. Multiple Cox regression was used to calculate the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs). Results During the follow-up period, 4262 stroke events, 1233 MI events, and 7225 all-cause deaths were identified, respectively. Compared with the lowest quantile (Q1) of SII or SIRI, after adjusted for most cardiovascular risk factors, both indexes showed positive associations with the risk for stroke (adjusted HRs in Q4 were 1.264 (95% CI: 1.157,1.382) for SII, 1.194 (95% CI: 1.087,1.313) for SIRI), and all-cause death (adjusted HRs in Q4 were 1.246 (95% CI: 1.165,1.331) for SII, 1.393 (95% CI: 1.296,1.498) for SIRI). Additionally, higher SII and SIRI are also associated with increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. Higher SIRI but not SII exhibited a higher MI risk, the adjusted HR in Q4 was 1.204 (1.013,1.431). The significant association remained after additional adjustment for CRP. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis displayed consistent results except for SIRI with MI, where the association did not arrive at significance in subjects aged ≥60. Conclusion Elevated SII and SIRI increased the risk of stroke, two stroke subtypes, and all-cause death. Higher SIRI, but not SII associated with increased MI incidence, and the association of SIRI was only significant in subjects aged <60.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). DESIGN AND SETTING A retrospective analysis of patients with LSCC was conducted in our hospitals. Clinical information, including age, sex, TNM classification and other demographic and clinical data, was acquired and analysed. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. PARTICIPANTS A total of 147 patients with LSCC were included. RESULTS According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the optimal cut-off points for NLR, PLR and SII were 1.88, 117.36 and 517.64. The analysis revealed NLR, PLR and SII to be independent predictors for OS and PFS (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative NLR, PLR and SII are promising prognostic predictors for patients with LSCC.

Abstract
Background Multiple studies have reported the significance of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC), but no consensus has yet been reached. The purpose of this study was to systematically assess the prognostic value of SII in patients with CRC. Materials and Methods We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for eligible studies. The correlation between pretreatment SII and overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and progression-free survival (PFS) in CRC patients was evaluated by combining the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Twelve studies involving 3919 patients were included. Comprehensive analysis results showed that high SII indicated poor OS in CRC patients (HR = 1.777, 95% CI: 1.328-2.376). Compared with patients with low SII values, patients with high SII had lower PFS (HR = 1.658, 95% CI: 1.189-2.311). Subgroup analysis further verified the above results. Conclusions SII may be a noninvasive and powerful tool for predicting survival outcomes in CRC patients. However, more well-designed studies are needed to validate our findings.

The Change of Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index Independently Predicts Survival of Colorectal Cancer Patients after Curative Resection. Mediators Inflamm 2020; 2020:4105809. [PMID: 33293896 PMCID: PMC7718069 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4105809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2020] [Revised: 09/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has an important role in predicting survival in some solid tumors. However, little information is available concerning the change of the SII (∆SII) in colorectal cancer (CRC) after curative resection. This study was designed to evaluate the role of ∆SII in CRC patients who received surgery. Methods A total 206 patients were enrolled in this study. Clinicopathologic characteristics and survival were assessed. The relationships between overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and ∆SII were analyzed with both univariate Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression methods. Results Based on the patient data, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) optimal cutoff value of ∆SII was 127.7 for OS prediction. The 3-year and 5-year OS rates, respectively, were 60.4% and 36.7% in the high-∆SII group (>127.7) and 87.6% and 79.8% in the low-∆SII group (≤127.7). The 3-year and 5-year DFS rates, respectively, were 54.1% and 34.1% in the high-∆SII group and 80.3% and 78.5% in the low-∆SII group. In the univariate analysis, smoking, pathological stages III-IV, high-middle degree of differentiation, lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, and the high-ΔSII group were associated with poor OS. Adjuvant therapy, pathological stages III-IV, vascular invasion, and ΔSII were able to predict DFS. Multivariate analysis revealed that pathological stages III-IV (HR = 0.442, 95% CI = 0.236-0.827, p = 0.011), vascular invasion (HR = 2.182, 95% CI = 1.243-3.829, p = 0.007), and the high-ΔSII group (HR = 4.301, 95% CI = 2.517-7.350, p < 0.001) were independent predictors for OS. Adjuvant therapy (HR = 0.415, 95% CI = 0.250-0.687, p = 0.001), vascular invasion (HR = 3.305, 95% CI = 1.944-5.620, p < 0.001), and the high-ΔSII group (HR = 4.924, 95% CI = 2.992-8.102, p < 0.001) were significant prognostic factors for DFS. Conclusions The present study demonstrated that ∆SII was associated with the clinical outcome in CRC patients undergoing curative resection, supporting the role of ∆SII as a prognostic biomarker.
