[PMID: 38178381 PMCID: PMC10773631 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2023.2294149] [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: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the predictive ability of the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin Ratio (NPAR) concerning all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS We included a total of 807 PD patients from the Peritoneal Dialysis Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2009 and December 2019 in this study. Patients were categorized into three groups based on their baseline NPAR. The Kaplan-Meier method, multivariate Cox proportional hazard model, and Fine-Gray competing risk model were employed to examine the relationship between NPAR level and all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality among PD patients. Furthermore, the ROC curve and calibration plots were utilized to compare the performance between NPAR and other conventional indicators. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 38.2 months. A total of 243 (30.1%) patients passed away, with 128 (52.7%) succumbing to cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. The mortality rates of the Middle and High NPAR groups were significantly greater than that of the Low NPAR group (p < 0.001), and NPAR was independently associated with all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated that the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of NPAR (0.714) was significantly superior to those of C-reactive protein (CRP) (0.597), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (0.589), C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) (0.698) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (0.533). CONCLUSION NPAR served as an independent predictive marker for all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality in PD patients. Moreover, NPAR demonstrated superior predictive potential compared to CRP, CAR, NLR, and PLR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluates the association of novel inflammatory markers and Doppler parameters in late-onset FGR (fetal growth restriction), utilizing a machine-learning approach to enhance predictive accuracy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective case-control study was conducted at the Department of Perinatology, Ministry of Health Etlik City Hospital, Ankara, from 2023 to 2024. The study included 240 patients between 32 and 37 weeks of gestation, divided equally between patients diagnosed with late-onset FGR and a control group. We focused on novel inflammatory markers-systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), and neutrophil-percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR)-and their correlation with Doppler parameters of umbilical and uterine arteries. Machine-learning algorithms were employed to analyze the data collected, including demographic, neonatal, and clinical parameters, to develop a predictive model for FGR. RESULTS The machine-learning model, specifically the Random Forest algorithm, effectively integrated the inflammatory markers with Doppler parameters to predict FGR. NPAR showed a significant correlation with FGR presence, providing a robust tool in the predictive model (Accuracy 77%, area under the curve [AUC] 0.851). In contrast, SII and SIRI, while useful, did not achieve the same level of predictive accuracy (Accuracy 75% AUC 0.818 and Accuracy 73% AUC 0.793, respectively). The model highlighted the potential of combining ultrasound measurements with inflammatory markers to improve diagnostic accuracy for late-onset FGR. CONCLUSIONS This study illustrates the efficacy of integrating machines with traditional diagnostic methods to enhance the prediction of late-onset FGR. Further research with a larger cohort is recommended to validate these findings and refine the predictive model, which could lead to improved clinical outcomes for affected pregnancies. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06372938.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the critical role of immune cells and their responses in sepsis pathogenesis, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of various immune cell ratios in septic children through the collection and analysis of clinical data. METHODS Clinical data were collected from septic children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Shenzhen Children's Hospital between January 2019 and September 2021. The peripheral blood immune cell ratios included the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the derived neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), the neutrophil to lymphocyte and platelet ratio (NLPR), the monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR). To investigate the associations between these immune cell ratios and mortality, we utilized the locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) method, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and Kaplan‒Meier (K‒M) analysis. RESULTS A total of 230 septic children were enrolled in the study. When comparing the immune cell ratios between the deceased and surviving groups, all ratios except for the PLR were elevated in the deceased group. Using the LOWESS method, we observed that the MLR, NLR, dNLR, and NLPR exhibited an approximately linear association with in-hospital mortality. Among the various immune cell ratios, the NLPR exhibited the highest AUC of 0.748, which was statistically comparable to that of the Pediatric Critical Illness Score (PCIS) (0.748 vs. 0.738, P = 0.852). The NLR (0.652), MLR (0.638), and dNLR (0.615) followed in terms of AUC values. K‒M analysis revealed that children with elevated MLR, NLR, dNLR, and NLPR exhibited increased 30-day mortality. CONCLUSION The predictive capacity of the NLPR is comparable to that of the PCIS, suggesting that the NLPR has potential as a robust prognostic indicator for septic children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to investigate the potential correlation between baseline red cell distribution width (RDW) to albumin ratio (RAR) levels and treatment failure in peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) patients. METHODS A retrospective single-center study was conducted on 286 PDAP patients. Logistic regression and generalized estimation equation (GEE) analyses were employed to assess the relationship between RAR and treatment failure. RESULTS RAR emerged as a robust predictor of treatment failure in PDAP patients. Elevated RAR levels were associated with an increased risk of treatment failure, exhibiting a linear relationship. Even after adjusting for demographic and clinical variables, this association remained statistically significant. ROC analysis revealed that RAR outperformed RDW and albumin individually in predicting PDAP prognosis. CONCLUSION This study highlights RAR as a superior prognostic marker for treatment failure in PDAP patients, offering new insights into risk assessment and management strategies for this challenging condition.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to assess the association between Red Cell Distribution Width-to-Albumin Ratio (RAR) and the clinical outcomes in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) patients. Design This is a retrospective cohort study. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on the Pediatric Intensive Care database. The primary outcome was the 28-day mortality rate. Secondary outcomes included the 90-day mortality rate, in-hospital mortality rate, and length of hospital stay. We explored the relationship between RAR and the prognosis of patients in the PICU using multivariate regression and subgroup analysis. Results A total of 7,075 participants were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 3.4 ± 3.8 years. Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated that patients with a higher RAR had a higher mortality rate. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, we found that for each unit increase in RAR, the 28-day mortality rate increased by 6% (HR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.11, P = 0.015). The high-RAR group (RAR ≥ 4.0) had a significantly increased 28-day mortality rate compared to the low-RAR group (RAR ≤ 3.36) (HR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.23-2.37, P < 0.001). Similar results were observed for the 90-day and in-hospital mortality rate. No significant interactions were observed in the subgroup analysis. Conclusion Our study suggests a significant association between RAR and adverse outcomes in PICU patients. A higher RAR is associated with higher 28-day, 90-day, and in-hospital mortality rates.

Abstract
This study compared the predictive power of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and Naples prognostic score (NPS) in determining the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). The study included 1138 patients who underwent coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA). The primary outcome was the evaluation of CAD severity, determined by the Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) obtained from the CCTA scans. A basic statistical model including age, gender, chest pain, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and smoking was built, and categorical variables, NPS (Naples 3,4 vs 0,1,2) and SII, were added to the basic statistical model. The net benefits of the predictive parameters were determined by a decision curve analysis, and the association between CAD-RADS and NPS, SII was quantified by odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The decision curve analysis showed that adding SII to the statistical model had a better full range of probability of clinical net benefit compared with the baseline model (OR: 5.77, 95% CI 4.15-8.02, P < .001). However, adding the NPS (P = .11) to the model did not outperform the basic statistical model. In conclusion, the SII may have a net predictive effect on top of traditional risk factors.

Abstract
This review assesses how publications interpret factors that influence the serum or plasma albumin (PA) level in prognostic indices, focusing on inflammation and nutrition. On PubMed, a search for "albumin AND prognosis" yielded 23,919 results. From these records, prognostic indices were retrieved, and their names were used as search strings on PubMed. Indices found in 10 or more original research articles were included. The same search strings, restricted to "Review" or "Systematic review", retrieved yielded on the indices. The data comprised the 10 latest original research articles and up to 10 of the latest reviews. Thirty indices had 294 original research articles (6 covering two indices) and 131 reviews, most of which were from recent years. A total of 106 articles related the PA level to inflammation, and 136 related the PA level to nutrition. For the reviews, the equivalent numbers were 54 and 65. In conclusion, more publications mention the PA level as a marker of nutrition rather than inflammation. This is in contrast to several general reviews on albumin and nutritional guidelines, which state that the PA level is a marker of inflammation but not nutrition. Hypoalbuminemia should prompt clinicians to focus on the inflammatory aspects in their patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inflammatory response and nutritional status play crucial roles in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). This study mainly investigated the correlation between neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio (NPAR) and clinical prognosis in aSAH patients with high-grade Hunt-Hess and its predictive model. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted based on 806 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage who were admitted to the studied hospital from January 2017 to December 2021. Modified Fisher grade and Hunt-Hess grade were obtained according to their status at admission and hematological parameters within 48 h after hemorrhage. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to evaluate the relationship between NPAR and the clinical prognosis of patients with aSAH. And propensity matching analysis of patients with aSAH in the severe group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of NPAR at admission to predict prognosis and its sensitivity and specificity. The nomogram diagram and Calibration curve were further used to examine the prediction model. RESULTS According to the mRS score at discharge, 184 (22.83 %) cases were classified as having poor outcomes (mRS > 2). Through multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was found that the Modified Fisher grade at admission, Hunt-Hess grade, eosinophils, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and NPAR were independent risk factors for poor outcome in patients with aSAH (p < 0.05). The NPAR of aSAH patients with poor outcomes in the high-grade group was significantly higher than that in the low-grade group. The optimal cut-off value for NPAR was 21.90, the area under the ROC curve was 0.780 (95 % CI 0.700 - 0.861, p < 0.001). The Calibration curves show that the predicted probability of the drawn nomogram is overall consistent with the actual probability. (Mean absolute error = 0.031) CONCLUSION: The NPAR value of patients with aSAH at admission is significantly correlated with Hunt-Hess grade in a positive manner, namely, the higher the Hunt-Hess grade, the higher the NPAR value, and the worse the prognosis. Findings indicate that early NPAR value can be used as a feasible biomarker to predict the clinical prognosis of patients with aSAH.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) and pneumonia in patients with SCI. SETTING Department of Rehabilitation Medicine Center, West China Hospital, Sichuan University. METHODS SCI patients admitted to West China Hospital within 24 h of injury were consecutively enrolled. Blood samples were collected on admission. Pneumonia was diagnosed based on chest radiography and clinician records of patient symptoms and laboratory tests. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between NPAR and pneumonia. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to assess the predictive value of NPAR. RESULTS A total of 264 SCI patients were included, of whom 65 (24.6%) developed pneumonia. NPAR was positively correlated with pneumonia (OR 2.66, 95% CI, 1.06-6.71, p = 0.038). Patients in the upper NPAR tertile (2.35-3.71) had a higher risk of pneumonia than patients in the lower tertile (1.66-2.12) after adjustment for potential confounders (OR 2.55, 95% CI, 1.05-6.19, p = 0.039). The risk of pneumonia increased stepwise across NPAR tertiles (p for trend = 0.031). The optimal cutoff value of NPAR for predicting pneumonia was 2.17 with a sensitivity of 0.82 and a specificity of 0.50. There was a significant interaction between NPAR and neurological level of injury (p for interaction = 0.034), with no significant association between NPAR and pneumonia in patients with cervical SCI. CONCLUSIONS A higher NPAR was independently associated with higher risk of pneumonia in a dose-dependent manner in patients with non-cervical SCI.

Association between red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio and prognosis of patients with sepsis: A retrospective cohort study. Front Nutr 2022; 9:1019502. [PMID: 36211519 PMCID: PMC9539557 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.1019502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) to albumin ratio (RAR) is associated with poor prognosis in diabetic comorbidities and cancer. However, the association between RAR and prognosis in patients with sepsis remains unclear, which was investigated in this study. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) IV version 2.0 database. The primary outcome of this study was 28-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included 90-day mortality, in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Multivariate regression analysis and subgroup analysis were performed to investigate the association between RAR and prognosis in patients with sepsis. Results A total of 14,639 participants were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 65.2 ± 16.3 years and the mean RAR was 5.5 ± 1.9 % /g/dl. For 28-day mortality, after adjusting for covariates, HRs [95% confidence intervals (CIs)] for tertiles 2 (4.4–5.8) and 3 (RAR > 5.8) were 1.33 (1.20, 1.46) and 1.98 (1.79, 2.19), respectively. Similar results were observed for 90-day mortality and in-hospital mortality. According to Kaplan-Meier curve analysis, the higher RAR group had higher 28-day mortality and 90-day mortality. Conclusion Our study shows that RAR is significantly associated with poor clinical prognosis in sepsis. The higher the RAR, the higher the 28-day, 90-day, and in-hospital mortality.

Association between neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio and 3-month functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients with reperfusion therapy. Front Neurol 2022; 13:898226. [PMID: 36176549 PMCID: PMC9513151 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.898226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Neutrophils and albumin are associated with outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to explore the association between the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR), a novel marker of inflammation and oxidative stress, and the 3-month functional outcome in AIS patients with reperfusion therapy. Methods This single-center, retrospective cohort study consecutively enrolled AIS patients with reperfusion therapy. Neutrophils and albumin were collected on admission. The primary outcome was a poor functional outcome, which was defined as a modified Rankin scale score of 3–6 at 3 months. Results A total of 647 patients with AIS who received reperfusion therapy were analyzed. The mean age was 68.9 ± 13.9 years, and 358 (55.3%) of the patients were men. The median NPAR was 1.89 (interquartile range [IQR] 1.64–2.09). The percentage of patients with a 3-month poor functional outcome was 57.0% (369/647). NPAR was positively associated with a poor functional outcome (odds ratio [OR] 2.76, 95% CI: 1.52–5.03, p = 0.001). When patients were classified into tertiles, patients in the upper tertile (2.03–7.59) had a higher risk of poor outcome than patients in the lower tertile after adjusting for potential confounders (0.78–1.73) (OR 2.10, 95% CI: 1.28–3.42, p = 0.003). The risk of poor outcome increased with NPAR tertiles (p-trend = 0.003). The optimal cut-off value of the NPAR for predicting a poor outcome was 1.72, with a sensitivity of 0.75, and a specificity of 0.43. Conclusion Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio was significantly associated with 3-month poor functional outcomes in patients with AIS who received reperfusion therapy.

Prediction Models for One-Year Survival of Adult Patients with Acute Kidney Injury: A Longitudinal Study Based on the Data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III Database. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:5902907. [PMID: 35836825 PMCID: PMC9276484 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5902907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of acute illnesses with unfavorable outcomes. This cohort study aimed at constructing prediction models for one-year survival in adult AKI patients based on prognostic nutritional index (PNI), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR), or neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), respectively. In total, 6050 patients from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) were involved. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was utilized to screen possible covariates. The samples were randomly divided into the training set and the testing set at a ratio of 7.5 : 2.5, and the prediction models were constructed in the training set by random forest. The prediction values of the models were measured via sensitivity, specificity, negative prediction value (NPV), positive prediction value (PPV), area under the curve (AUC), and accuracy. We found that NLR (OR = 1.261, 95% CI: 1.145–1.388), PLR (OR = 1.295, 95% CI: 1.152–1.445), and NPAR (OR = 1.476, 95% CI: 1.261–1.726) were associated with an increased risk, while PNI (OR = 0.035, 95% CI: 0.020–0.059) was associated with a decreased risk of one-year mortality in AKI patients. The AUC was 0.964 (95% CI: 0.959–0.969) in the training set based on PNI, age, gender, length of stay (LOS) in hospital, platelets (PLT), ethnicity, LOS in ICU, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate, glucose, AKI stage, atrial fibrillation (AF), vasopressor, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and mechanical ventilation. The testing set was applied as the internal validation of the model with an AUC of 0.778 (95% CI: 0.754–0.801). In conclusion, PNI accompanied by age, gender, ethnicity, SBP, DBP, heart rate, PLT, glucose, AF, RRT, mechanical ventilation, vasopressor, AKI stage, LOS in ICU, and LOS in hospital exhibited a good predictive value for one-year mortality of AKI patients.

Abstract
Objective To analyze the relationship between monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and postoperative delirium (POD). Methods This cohort study was conducted in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care‐III (MIMIC‐III) version 1.4 database. MLR was measured according to the complete blood count. ICD‐9 was used to measure postoperative delirium. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized to examine the relationship between MLR and POD. Results Three thousand eight hundred sixty‐eight patients who had received cardiac surgery were retrospectively enrolled, including 2171 males and 1697 females, with a mean age of 63.9 ± 16.2 years. The univariate analysis suggested that high MLR (as a continuous variable) as associated with a 21% higher risk of POD (O R: 1.12, 95% CI, 1.02, 1.43, p = 0.0259), After adjustments for other confounding factors, gender, age, race, temperature, SBP, DBP, MAP, respiratory rate, SOFA, peripheral vascular disease, AG, psychoses, drug, and alcohol addiction, the results showed that high MLR (as a continuous variable) independently served as a risk factor for POD (OR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.01–1.44; p = 0.0378). MLR was assessed as quintile and tertiles, high MLR was an independent risk factor for POD. In the subgroup analysis, there were no differences in MLR for patients with POD in pre‐specified subgroups. Conclusions Monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio was a risk factor for POD. More research is necessary to thoroughly examine the function of MLR in POD.

Abstract
Background Cancer causes a serious health burden on patients worldwide. Chronic low‐level inflammation plays a key role in tumorigenesis and prognosis. However, the role of the red blood cell distribution width (RDW)‐to‐albumin (RA) ratio in cancer mortality remains unclear. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we collected clinical information from cancer patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC‐III) version 1.4 database and then calculated RA by dividing RDW by albumin concentration. The primary outcome was 30 days mortality, while secondary outcomes were 90 days and 1 year mortality. Next, we adopted Cox regression models to calculate hazard ratios (HR) together with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for all‐cause mortalities associated with the RA ratio. Results For 30 days mortality, the HR (95% CI) for the high RA ratio (≥5.51) was 2.17 [95CI% (1.87–2.51); p = <0.0001], compared with the low RA ratio (<5.51). In Model 2, we adjusted sex and age and obtained HR (95% CI) of 2.17 [95CI% (1.87–2.52); p = <0.0001] for the high RA ratio (≥5.51) group, compared to that in the low RA ratio (<5.51). In Model 3, adjusting for age, sex, anion gap, hematocrit, white blood cell count, congestive heart failure, SOFA, liver disease, and renal failure resulted in HR (95% CI) of 1.74 [95CI% (1.48–2.04); p = <0.0001] for the high RA ratio (≥5.51) relative to the low RA ratio (<5.51). We also analyzed common diseases in cancer patients but found no significant association. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating that increased RA ratio is independently associated with increased all‐cause mortality in cancer patients.

Abstract
Background The study aimed at evaluating the prognostic utility of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) for patients with sepsis. Methods Data in the present study were obtained from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care Database III. The calculation for PNI was as follows: serum albumin concentration (g/L) +0.005 × total lymphocyte count. 30‐day mortality was considered as the primary outcome, while 90‐day mortality and one‐year mortality were the secondary outcomes. Cox proportional risk models and propensity score matching (PSM) analyses were used to analyze the association between PNI and clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis. To assess the predictive value of PNI for 30‐day mortality, receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed. Results A total of 2669 patients were in the study. After the confounding factors were adjusted, PNI ≥ 29.3 was identified as an independent predictive prognostic factor for the 30‐day all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.56–0.76; p < 0.00001). Moreover, PSM analysis further validated the prognostic predictive value of PNI for patients with sepsis. The AUC of the PNI was 0.6436 (95% CI: 0.6204–0.6625) which was significantly high than the AUC of NLR (0.5962, 95% CI: 0.5717–0.6206) (p = 0.0031), the RDW (0.5878, 95% CI: 0.5629–0.6127) (p < 0.0001), and PLR (0.4979, 95% CI: 0.4722–0.5235) (p < 0.0001). Conclusion The findings suggested that PNI was also a significant risk factor for sepsis.
