Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is an extremely damaging complication that can occur after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There is no study in the literature investigating the relationship between systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and systemic inflammation immune index (SII) values and prognosis and infection in patients who have undergone TKA. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the inflammatory index values and the rate of PJI in patients who had previously had TKA. METHODS A total of 187 patients who underwent TKA between 2015 and 2023 years were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS The median value of the postoperative SII index was 1862.3 (1146.6-2630.4) in the infected group, while it was 1058.2 (605.0-1762.8) in the non-infected group (p < 0.001). In the infected group, the median value of preoperative SIRI was observed as 2.3 (1.7-3.5), while in the non-infected group it was 0.9 (0.7-1.5) (p < 0.001). The cutoff value for postoperative SIRI was observed to be 2.19, with a sensitivity value of 95%, a specificity value of 46%, the AUC value observed was 65%. The cutoff value for the postoperative SII index was observed to be 1058.96, with a sensitivity value of 100%, a specificity value of 50%. CONCLUSIONS Our study has associated the inflammatory markers SIRI, SII, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, and platelet lymphocyte ratio with PJI, which are easy and inexpensive to obtain. There is no widely recognized serum biomarker that can be used alone with good sensitivity and specificity. This study contributes to finding the gold standard inflammatory marker for diagnosing PJI.

Li T, Li R, Lin F, Chen X. A Mediation Analysis of the Association Between Systemic Inflammation Response Index, in-Hospital Complications, and Poor Long-Term Functional Outcomes in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Insights from a Large Prospective Cohort Study. J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:3697-3708. [PMID: 38882185 PMCID: PMC11178086 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s460364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Early systemic inflammatory changes are increasingly recognized as factors influencing outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), an inflammation biomarker, was thought to be associated with adverse outcomes in many other diseases. However, in aSAH, research on SIRI remains limited. Thus, our objective was to investigate the association between SIRI and poor long-term functional outcomes while evaluating the mediating role of in-hospital complications in this association. Patients and Methods SIRI was defined as neutrophil count × monocyte count/lymphocyte count. Patients were categorized according to SIRI quartiles. Stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (sIPTW) was utilized to minimize group differences. The association between SIRI and in-hospital complications as well as poor 90-day functional outcomes (mRS 3-6) was estimated by multivariable logistic regression analyses. Mediation analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between SIRI and poor functional outcomes mediated by in-hospital complications. Results A total of 650 patients were prospectively included. After sIPTW, compared to the lowest quartile, an elevated SIRI was associated with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.20-3.74), post-operative pneumonia (POP) (OR 2.16, 95% CI 1.29-3.62) and poor 90-day functional outcomes (OR 3.03, 95% CI 1.55-5.91). In-hospital complications including DCI (mediation proportion, 18.18% before sIPTW and 20.0% after sIPTW) and POP (mediation proportion, 18.18% before sIPTW and 26.7% after sIPTW) partially mediated the association between SIRI and poor 90-day functional outcomes. Mediation analysis yielded comparable results in subgroups stratified by age and sex. Conclusion In this study, SIRI was associated with poor long-term functional outcomes in aSAH, which was partially mediated by DCI and POP with a mediation proportion exceeding 18%. Our findings might underscore the potential utility of SIRI in prompting physicians to address systemic inflammatory status timely to prevent in-hospital complications, including DCI and POP, and ultimately improve long-term functional outcomes.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a clinical and imaging-based nomogram for preoperatively predicting perineural invasion (PNI) in advanced gastric cancer. Methods A retrospective cohort of 351 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent surgical resection was included. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify independent risk factors for PNI and to construct the nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was assessed using calibration curves, the concordance index (C-index), the area under the curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA). The disparity in disease-free survival (DFS) between the nomogram-predicted PNI-positive group and the nomogram-predicted PNI-negative group was evaluated using the Log-Rank test and Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results Extramural vascular invasion (EMVI), Borrmann classification, tumor thickness, and the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) emerged as independent risk factors for PNI. The nomogram model demonstrated a commendable AUC value of 0.838. Calibration curves exhibited excellent concordance, with a C-index of 0.814. DCA indicated that the model provided good clinical net benefit. The DFS of the nomogram-predicted PNI-positive group was significantly lower than that of the nomogram-predicted PNI-negative group (p < 0.001). Conclusion This study successfully developed a preoperative nomogram model that not only effectively predicted PNI in gastric cancer but also facilitated postoperative risk stratification.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:855. [PMID: 38929472 PMCID: PMC11205785 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60060855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the systemic immune inflammation (SII) index and the development of micro and macro complications and mortality within the first year and the following three years in type 2 diabetic retinopathy patients. Materials and Methods: The retrospective study included 523 type 2 diabetic retinopathy patients seen in the endocrinology outpatient clinic of our hospital between January and December 2019. Their demographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The normal distribution of quantitative data was assessed by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Mann-Whitney U, McNemar-Chi-square, and Cochran's Q tests were used to analyze the SII values and complication rates over time. An ROC analysis determined the sensitivity and specificity of SII. A multiple linear regression analysis examined the relationship between variables and SII, while Spearman's test assessed the correlation between CRP and SII. p < 0.05 was accepted as significant. Results: The mean age of patients was 63.5 ± 9.3 years, with mean SII values of 821.4 ± 1010.8. Higher SII values were significantly associated with acute-chronic renal failure, peripheral arterial disease, and hospitalization rates in both the first year and the following three years (p < 0.05 for all). Significant cut-off values for SII were found for micro- and macrovascular complications and death within the first year (p < 0.05 for all). The ROC curve analysis identified an optimal SII cut-off value of >594.0 for predicting near-term (1-year) complications and mortality, with a sensitivity of 73.8% and specificity of 49.4% (area under the ROC curve: 0.629, p = 0.001). Multiple linear regression indicated that smoking of at least 20 pack-years had a significant positive effect on SII. The Spearman test showed a weak positive correlation between SII and CRP. Conclusions: High SII values predict both early and late acute-chronic renal failure, peripheral arterial disease, and hospitalizations in patients with type 2 diabetic retinopathy. The study also shows that high SII values may predict microvascular and macrovascular complications of type 2 DM and mortality risk in the early period in patients with type 2 diabetic retinopathy. In addition, comorbidities and inflammatory habits, such as long-term smoking, should be considered in the clinical use of SII.

Abstract
Background Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) severely impacts stroke patients' prognosis after endovascular treatment. Hence, this study created a nomogram to predict the occurrence of VAP after endovascular treatment. Methods The individuals with acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) who received mechanical ventilation and endovascular therapy between July 2020 and August 2023 were included in this retrospective study. The predictive model and nomogram were generated by performing feature selection optimization using the LASSO regression model and multifactor logistic regression analysis and assessed the evaluation, verification and clinical application. Results A total of 184 individuals (average age 61.85 ± 13.25 years, 73.37% male) were enrolled, and the rate of VAP occurrence was found to be 57.07%. Factors such as the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, duration of stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), dysphagia, Fazekas scale 2 and admission diastolic blood pressure were found to be associated with the occurrence of VAP in the nomogram that demonstrating a strong discriminatory power with AUC of 0.862 (95% CI, 0.810-0.914), and a favorable clinical net benefit. Conclusion This nomogram, comprising GCS score, ICU duration, dysphagia, Fazekas scale 2 and admission diastolic blood pressure, can aid clinicians in predicting the identification of high-risk patients for VAP following endovascular treatment in large vessel occlusion stroke.

Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7245. [PMID: 38785171 PMCID: PMC11117193 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7245] [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: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Platelet-to-albumin ratio (PAR) is a new systemic inflammatory prognostic indicator associated with many inflammatory diseases. However, its role in radiation cystitis (RC) is obscure. This study aimed to explore whether PAR could be used as an effective parameter for predicting the RC risk in local advanced cervical cancer (CC) treated with radiotherapy. METHODS A total of 319 local advanced CC patients who received radical radiotherapy at Fujian Cancer Hospital were enrolled between December 2018 and January 2021. Demographics and clinical parameters were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify the risk factors for RC. Backward and stepwise regression was applied to construct two monograms-one with primary significant factors and the other with extra inflammatory biomarkers. A DeLong test was applied to compare the prediction abilities of two nomograms. Calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) evaluated its prediction consistency, discrimination ability, and clinical net benefit. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that age, tumor size, stage, total radiation dose, pelvic radiation dose, Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and PAR were significantly associated with RC occurrence (all p < 0.05). Multivariate analyses indicated that age, tumor size, stage, total radiation dose, and PAR were independent factors (all p < 0.05). Then, the area under curve (AUC) value of the nomogramSII+PAR was higher (AUC = 0.774) compared to that of the baseline nomogram (AUC = 0.726) (pDelong = 0.02). Also, the five-cross validation confirmed the stability of the nomogramSII+PAR. Moreover, the calibration curve and DCA exhibited the nomograms' good prediction consistency and clinical practicability. CONCLUSIONS PAR and SII could be valued for CC patients who are treated with radiation therapy. The nomogram based on PAR and SII could stratify patients who need extra intervention and nursing care to prevent bladder radiation damage and improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the relationship between the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis, and future fracture risk in elderly hypertensive patients. METHODS Elderly hypertensive patients (age ≥60 years) who attended our hospital between January 2021 and December 2023 and completed BMD screening were included in the study. Analyses were performed with multivariate logistic and linear regression. RESULTS The multiple linear regression indicated that SIRI levels were significantly negatively correlated with lumbar 1 BMD (β = -0.15, 95% CI: -0.24, -0.05), lumbar 2 BMD (β = -0.15, 95% CI: -0.24, -0.05), lumbar 3 BMD (β = -1.35, 95% CI: -0.23, -0.02), lumbar 4 BMD (β = -0.11, 95% CI: -0.30, -0.10), femur neck BMD (β = -0.11, 95% CI: -0.18, -0.05) and Ward's triangle BMD (β = -0.12, 95% CI: -0.20, -0.05) among elderly hypertensive patients, after fully adjusting for confounders. Furthermore, we observed that SIRI was positively associated with future fracture risk in elderly hypertensive patients. Specifically, SIRI was associated with an increased risk of major osteoporotic fractures (β = 0.33) and hip fractures (β = 0.25). The logistic regression analysis indicated that there is an association between the SIRI level and an increased risk of osteoporosis (OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.37, 1.87), after fully adjusting for confounders. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate a potential association between SIRI and BMD, osteoporosis, and the risk of future fractures in elderly hypertensive patients. However, further studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Background The systemic immuno-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are widely used and have been shown to be predictive indicators of various diseases. Diabetic nephropathy (DN), retinopathy (DR), and peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are the most prominent and common microvascular complications, which have seriously negative impacts on patients, families, and society. Exploring the associations with these three indicators and diabetic microvascular complications are the main purpose. Methods There were 1058 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in this retrospective cross-sectional study. SII, NLR, and PLR were calculated. The diseases were diagnosed by endocrinologists. Logistic regression and subgroup analysis were applied to evaluate the association between SII, NLP, and PLR and diabetic microvascular complications. Results SII, NLR, and PLR were significantly associated with the risk of DN [odds ratios (ORs): 1.52, 1.71, and 1.60, respectively] and DR [ORs: 1.57, 1.79, and 1.55, respectively] by multivariate logistic regression. When NLR ≥2.66, the OR was significantly higher for the risk of DPN (OR: 1.985, 95% confidence interval: 1.29-3.05). Subgroup analysis showed no significant positive associations across different demographics and comorbidities, including sex, age, hypertension, HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin), and dyslipidemia. Conclusion This study found a positive relationship between NLR and DN, DR, and DPN. In contrast, SII and PLR were found to be only associated with DN and DR. Therefore, for the diagnosis of diabetic microvascular complications, SII, NLR and PLR are highly valuable.

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, platelet to lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte to monocyte ratio and Systemic Inflammatory Index in sexually transmitted diseases. Med Pharm Rep 2024; 97:162-168. [PMID: 38746036 PMCID: PMC11090274 DOI: 10.15386/mpr-2732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Hematologic biomarkers of inflammation may serve as valuable adjuncts in clinical practice, aiding in several aspects such as differential diagnosis, prognostic assessment for patient stratification and monitoring the efficacy of antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Lymphocyte to Monocyte Ratio (LMR), and Systemic Inflammatory Index (SII) in predicting bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STI). Methods This prospective study was conducted in the north-west region of Romania and included patients from several medical special units such as dermatology, obstetrics-gynecology, urology, and general practice. The study group comprised patients with a high suspicion of STI, while the control group consisted of healthy subjects. Quantitative data are presented as medians (interquartile ranges). Results The median values of SII, NLR, and SIRI were higher in the group of subjects with sexually transmitted diseases compared to the control group [604.06 (432.36 - 880.02) vs. 556.89 (388.63 - 874.19); 2.61 (1.57 - 3.3) vs. 2.29 (1.66 - 3.26); and 0.95 (0.53 - 1.52) vs. 0.89 (0.67 - 1.34)]. Regarding PLR, the median values were lower in the group of subjects with sexually transmitted diseases compared to the control group [138.1 (99.19 - 169.6) vs. 140.65 (117 - 190.32)]. As for LMR, the median values were equal between the two groups [4.64 (3.74 - 6.11) vs. 4.64 (3.75 - 5.45)]. Nevertheless, the differences did not reach the significance level. Conclusion Our study suggests that inflammatory biomarkers might aid in detecting bacterial STIs, but their significance was not statistically confirmed. Further research on alternative laboratory tests is needed for improved STI diagnosis and management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to systematically investigate the relationship between immune-inflammatory indexes with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2005-2008). PARTICIPANTS A total of 2709 men with complete information for immune-inflammatory indexes and LUTSs were included from NHANES 2005-2008. OUTCOMES AND ANALYSES Automated haematology analysing devices are used to measure blood cell counts, and LUTSs were presented by standard questionnaires. Non-linear and logistic regression analyses were used to estimate their association after adjustment for confounders. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression showed that pan-immune-inflammation value (OR (95% CI)=1.60 (1.14 to 2.23)), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) (OR (95% CI)=1.82 (1.21 to 2.73)), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (OR (95% CI)=1.81 (1.31 to 2.49)), derived NLR (dNLR) (OR (95% CI)=1.91 (1.35 to 2.70)) and C reactive protein (CRP) (OR (95% CI)=1.71 (1.05 to 2.79)) was positively associated with LUTS. Additionally, composite immune-inflammation markers exhibited a stronger association with LUTS than any single index, with the ORs for high SIRI+high CRP, high NLR+high CRP and high dNLR+high CRP being 2.26, 2.44 and 2.16, respectively (all p<0.05). Furthermore, subgroup analyses revealed that age, smoking status and hypertension have different effects on the relationship between immune-inflammatory markers and LUTS. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that high levels of immune-inflammatory markers were associated with an increased risk of clinical LUTS. The combination of CRP with SIRI, NLR and dNLR, respectively, showed a stronger positive correlation with clinical LUTS compared with any single index.

Front Immunol 2024; 15:1338025. [PMID: 38558798 PMCID: PMC10978803 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1338025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To examine the correlation between SIRI and the probability of cardiovascular mortality as well as all-cause mortality in individuals with chronic kidney disease. Methods A cohort of 3,262 participants from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database were included in the study. We categorized participants into five groups based on the stage of chronic kidney disease. A weighted Cox regression model was applied to assess the relationship between SIRI and mortality. Subgroup analyses, Kaplan-Meier survival curves, and ROC curves were conducted. Additionally, restricted cubic spline analysis was employed to elucidate the detailed association between SIRI and hazard ratio (HR). Results This study included a cohort of 3,262 individuals, of whom 1,535 were male (weighted proportion: 42%), and 2,216 were aged 60 or above (weighted proportion: 59%). Following adjustments for covariates like age, sex, race, and education, elevated SIRI remained a significant independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality (HR=2.50, 95%CI: 1.62-3.84, p<0.001) and all-cause mortality (HR=3.02, 95%CI: 2.03-4.51, p<0.001) in CKD patients. The restricted cubic spline analysis indicated a nonlinear relationship between SIRI and cardiovascular mortality, with SIRI>1.2 identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in CKD patients. Conclusion Heightened SIRI independently poses a risk for both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease patients, with potentially heightened significance in the early stages (Stage I to Stage III) of chronic kidney disease.

J Hepatocell Carcinoma 2024; 11:489-508. [PMID: 38463544 PMCID: PMC10924898 DOI: 10.2147/jhc.s451357] [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: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose We developed a nomogram based on the liver function, nutrition, inflammation, and immunity (LFNII) score to predict recurrence-free survival (RFS) post-resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exhibiting alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) negativity (AFP ≤20 ng/mL). Patients and Methods Clinical data of 661 patients diagnosed with alpha-fetoprotein-negative hepatocellular carcinoma (AFP-NHCC) who underwent surgical resection at two medical centers between 2012 and 2021 were collected. A total of 462 and 199 patients served as the training and validation sets, respectively. Pre-operative blood markers were collected and analyzed for LFNII. The LFNII score was formulated using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model. A nomogram model was developed using the training set to incorporate other relevant clinicopathological indicators and predict postoperative recurrence. Model discrimination was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration was evaluated using a calibration curve, and clinical applicability was assessed using clinical decision curve analysis. A comparison with liver cancer staging was performed using the nomogram model. Finally, a cohort study was conducted to validate our findings. Results We derived the LFNII scores from nine indicators. Elevated LFNII scores correlated with unfavorable clinicopathological features. The LFNII score area under the curve revealed superior predictive efficacy at 1-, 2-, and 5-year RFS intervals, with values of 0.675, 0.658, and 0.633, respectively. Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that a high LFNII score independently increased RFS risk in patients with AFP-NHCC. The C-index of the LFNII-nomogram model was 0.686 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.651-0.721). The nomogram model's clinical application value surpassed that of standard HCC staging systems. Conclusion The LFNII score-derived nomogram effectively predicted the RFS of patients with AFP-NHCC after curative resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inflammation has a crucial role in several metabolic diseases, such as obesity. The author aimed to investigate the relationship between the system inflammation response index (SIRI) and android fat composition and distribution. METHODS Data for individuals aged 8-59 years, SIRI, android percent fat, and android-to-gynoid ratio from the 2017 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. Weighted multiple linear regression and smooth curve fitting were used to test for linear and nonlinear associations. Additional subgroup analyses were performed. Threshold effect analysis was performed using a two-linear regression model. RESULTS Multiple linear regression showed a positive correlation between SIRI and android percent fat (β 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.25-1.59) and between SIRI and the android-to-gynoid ratio (β 0.01, 95% CI 0.00-0.03) in 3783 Americans aged 8-59 years. The results showed that the effect of factors, other than smoking status, on the relationship between SIRI and android percent fat and android-to-gynoid ratio was not significant. There was a nonlinear relationship between SIRI and both android percent fat and android-to-gynoid ratio. CONCLUSIONS Elevated SIRI levels were associated with an increased android percent fat and android-to-gynoid ratio. Larger prospective studies are needed to validate the findings.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a globally increasing pathological condition. Recent research highlighted the utility of complete blood count-derived (CBC) inflammation indexes to predict MetS in adults with obesity. Methods: This study examined CBC-derived inflammation indexes (NHR, LHR, MHR, PHR, SIRI, AISI, and SII) in 231 adults with severe obesity (88 males, 143 females; age: 52.3 [36.4-63.3] years), divided based on the presence (MetS+) or absence (MetS-) of MetS. The relationships between the indexes and the cardiometabolic risk biomarkers HOMA-IR, TG/HDL-C, and non-HDL-C were also evaluated. Results: Individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS+) had significantly higher values of MHR, LHR, NHR, PHR, and SIRI than those without (MetS-) (MHR and NHR: p < 0.0001; LHR: p = 0.001; PHR: p = 0.011; SIRI: p = 0.021). These values were positively correlated with the degree of MetS severity. Logistic regression (MHR and NHR: p = 0.000; LHR: p = 0.002; PHR: p = 0.022; SIRI: p = 0.040) and ROC analysis (MHR: AUC = 0.6604; LHR: AUC = 0.6343; NHR: AUC = 0.6741; PHR: AUC = 0.6054; SIRI: AUC = 0.5955) confirmed the predictive potential of CBC-derived inflammation indexes for MetS in individuals with severe obesity. CBC-derived inflammation indexes also correlated with HOMA-IR (MHR, LHR, and NHR: p < 0.0001; PHR: p < 0.001; SIRI: p = 0.000) and TG/HDL-C (MHR, LHR, NHR and PHR: p < 0.0001; SIRI: p = 0.006). Conclusions: In conclusion, this study validates CBC-derived inflammation indexes for predicting MetS in individuals with severe obesity. The relationships between these indexes and cardiometabolic risk factors can enable clinicians to better grade MetS associated with obesity.

Abstract
Background The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) are both novel biomarkers and predictors of inflammation. Psoriasis is a skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between SII, SIRI, and adult psoriasis. Methods Data of adults aged 20 to 80 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2003-2006, 2009-2014) were utilized. The K-means method was used to group SII and SIRI into low, medium, and high-level clusters. Additionally, SII or SIRI levels were categorized into three groups: low (1st-3rd quintiles), medium (4th quintile), and high (5th quintile). The association between SII-SIRI pattern, SII or SIRI individually, and psoriasis was assessed using multivariate logistic regression models. The results were presented as odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression, subgroup, and interaction analyses were also conducted to explore the potential non-linear and independent relationships between natural log-transformed SII (lnSII) levels or SIRI levels and psoriasis, respectively. Results Of the 18208 adults included in the study, 511 (2.81%) were diagnosed with psoriasis. Compared to the low-level group of the SII-SIRI pattern, participants in the medium-level group had a significantly higher risk for psoriasis (OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.81, p-trend = 0.0031). In the analysis of SII or SIRI individually, both SII and SIRI were found to be positively associated with the risk of psoriasis (high vs. low group OR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.18, 1.95, p-trend = 0.0014; OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.95, p-trend = 0.007, respectively). Non-linear relationships were observed between lnSII/SIRI and psoriasis (both p-values for overall < 0.05, p-values for nonlinearity < 0.05). The association between SII levels and psoriasis was stronger in females, obese individuals, people with type 2 diabetes, and those without hypercholesterolemia. Conclusion We observed positive associations between SII-SIRI pattern, SII, SIRI, and psoriasis among U.S. adults. Further well-designed studies are needed to gain a better understanding of these findings.

[PMID: 38329961 PMCID: PMC10852278 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0292646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a new indicator of inflammation, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a connection to inflammation. However, the relationship between SII and CKD is still unsure. The aim of this study was whether there is an association between SII and CKD in the adult US population. METHODS Data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 2003-2018, and multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the independent linear association between SII and CKD. Smoothing curves and threshold effect analyses were utilized to describe the nonlinear association between SII and CKD. RESULTS The analysis comprised 40,660 adults in total. After adjusting for a number of factors, we found a positive association between SII and CKD [1.06 (1.04, 1.07)]. In subgroup analysis and interaction tests, this positive correlation showed differences in the age, hypertension, and diabetes strata (p for interaction<0.05), but remained constant in the sex, BMI, abdominal obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption strata. Smoothing curve fitting revealed a non-linear positive correlation between SII and CKD. Threshold analysis revealed a saturation effect of SII at the inflection point of 2100 (1,000 cells/μl). When SII < 2100 (1,000 cells/μl), SII was an independent risk element for CKD. CONCLUSIONS In the adult US population, our study found a positive association between SII and CKD (inflection point: 2100). The SII can be considered a positive indicator to identify CKD promptly and guide therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The research's goal is to look for any potential relationships between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the system inflammation response index (SIRI), along with inflammation indicators and the likelihood of periodontitis. METHODS Ten thousand two hundred eighty-two individuals in sum were determined to be eligible for this cross-sectional study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2009 and 2014. Multiple logistic regression, generalized additive model, smooth curve fitting, subgroup analysis, and interaction tests were done for analyzing the association between periodontitis and SII, SIRI, and other inflammatory indicators. RESULTS The analysis, adjusted for population weighting, revealed that individuals with moderate/severe periodontitis had SII levels of 545.46 (95% CI (529.10, 561.82), P = 0.0044) and SIRI levels of 1.33 (95% CI (1.29, 1.37), P < 0.0001). In a fully adjusted multivariate logistic regression model, SII was not sensibly associated with moderate/severe periodontitis among the continuous and quartile Q1-Q4 groups (OR = 0.97, 95% CI (0.91, 1.02)). The continuous variable of SIRI (OR = 1.11, 95% CI (1.06, 1.17)) and the quartile Q4 group (OR = 1.58, 95% CI (1.28, 1.94)) had a deemed significant positive association with moderate to severe periodontitis. In addition, other inflammatory indicators, especially NLR, PPN, PLR, MLR, PC, NC, and MC were observed to be notably involved moderate/severe periodontist in this research. CONCLUSION We explored the association between periodontitis and two novel comprehensive markers of inflammation (SII and SIRI). CLINICAL RELEVANCE These inflammatory markers are expected to serve as tools to assist clinicians in diagnosing periodontitis.

Inflammatory Profile Assessment in a Highly Selected Athyreotic Population Undergoing Controlled and Standardized Hypothyroidism. Biomedicines 2024; 12:239. [PMID: 38275410 PMCID: PMC10813236 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12010239] [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: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Hypothyroidism (hT) presents heterogeneous symptoms and findings. Evidence on this topic comes mainly from heterogeneous populations in terms of disease duration, residual thyroid function, and comorbidities. Therefore, it would be useful to assess systemic inflammation in a homogeneous hT population. The aim of this study was to investigate inflammation in a population that underwent standardized controlled hT. Methods: We recruited thyroidectomized patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer who were otherwise fit and healthy, showing hypothyroidism before I131 treatment using a standard protocol of LT4 withdrawal. The blood inflammatory indexes (BIIXs) (i.e., NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, SIRI, and AISI) were calculated using the blood tests collected just before I131 administration. Patients were divided according to sex, BMI, and thyroglobulin. The relationships between the BIIXs, age, and thyroid hormones were also investigated. Results: We included 143 patients. The median age of the sample was 43 years. The BIIX median values showed significant differences based on sex, BMI, and thyroglobulin levels (p < 0.05). No significant correlations were found between the BIIXs and age, TSH, FT4, and FT3. Conclusions: This study shows the BIIX median values of a population which underwent standardized hT. It suggests a role for some BIIXs in the evaluation of hypothyroidism in obese people and as hypothetical prognostic markers for thyroid cancer.

[PMID: 38260163 PMCID: PMC10802119 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1281839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Insulin resistance(IR) and inflammation have been regarded as common potential mechanisms in coronary heart disease (CHD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a novel biomarker of insulin resistance, System immune-inflammation index(SII) and Systemic inflammation response index(SIRI) are novel biomarkers of inflammation, these biomarkers have not been studied in CHD with NAFLD patients. This study investigated the correlation between the TyG index, SII index, and SIRI index and CHD risk among NAFLD patients. Methods This cross-sectional study included 407 patients with NAFLD in the Department of Cardiology, The Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University. Of these, 250 patients with CHD were enrolled in the NAFLD+CHD group and 157 patients without CHD were enrolled as NAFLD control. To balance covariates between groups, 144 patients were selected from each group in a 1:1 ratio based on propensity score matching (PSM). Potential influences were screened using Lasso regression analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses and the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression were used to assess independent risk and protective factors for CHD. Construction of nomogram using independent risk factors screened by machine learning. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to assess the ability of these independent risk factors to predict coronary heart disease. The relationship between the Gensini score and independent risk factors was reflected using the Sankey diagram. Results The LASSO logistic regression analysis and Logistic regression analyses suggest that TyG index (OR, 2.193; 95% CI, 1.242-3.873; P = 0.007), SII index (OR, 1.002; 95% CI, 1.001-29 1.003; P <0.001), and SIRI index (OR,1.483;95%CI,1.058-2.079,P=0.022) are independent risk factors for CHD. At the same time, Neutrophils, TG, and LDL-C were also found to be independent risk factors in patients, HDL-C was a protective factor for CHD in patients with NAFLD. Further analysis using three machine learning algorithms found these independent risk factors to have good predictive value for disease diagnosis, SII index shows the highest predictive value. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that combining the SII index, SIRI index, and TyG index can improve the diagnostic ability of non-alcoholic liver cirrhosis patients with CHD.ROC curve analysis showed that the combined analysis of these independent risk factors improved the predictive value of CHD(AUC: 0.751; 95% CI: 0.704-0.798; P <0.001). Conclusion TyG index, SII index, and SIRI index are all independent risk factors for CHD in patients with NAFLD and are strongly associated with prediction and the severity of CHD.

[PMID: 38255338 PMCID: PMC10814477 DOI: 10.3390/children11010024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common respiratory complication in preterm infants, and there is a lag in the diagnosis of BPD. Inflammation is a vital pathogenic factor for BPD; we aim to evaluate the predictive and diagnostic values of systemic inflammatory indices in BPD. METHODS Between 1 January 2019 and 31 May 2023, the clinical data of 122 premature infants with a gestational age of <32 weeks in the Department of Neonatology, the Affiliated Huai'an No. 1 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, were retrospectively collected and classified into non-BPD (n = 72) and BPD (n = 50) groups based on the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development 2018 criteria. To compare the general characteristics of each group, we identified the independent risk variables for BPD using multivariate logistic regression analysis, compared the systemic inflammatory indices at birth, 72 h, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA), and constructed the receiver operating characteristic curves of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) diagnosis of BPD at different time points. RESULTS ① The independent risk factors for BPD in preterm infants were birth weight, small for gestational age, and days of oxygen therapy (all p < 0.05). ② At 72 h and 1 week after birth, the serum NLR of the BPD group was higher than for the non-BPD group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the neutrophil count (N), NLR, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index, systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and pan-immune-inflammation value of infants with BPD were higher than the non-BPD group at 3 weeks after birth (p < 0.05). Moreover, at 36 weeks of PMA, the serum N, NLR, MLR, and SIRI of BPD infants were higher than those of non-BPD infants (p < 0.05). ③ The NLR of infants with and without BPD gradually increased after birth, reaching a peak at 72 h and 1 week, respectively. At 3 weeks postnatal, the NLR had the highest predictive power for BPD, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.717 (p < 0.001); the sensitivity was 56% and specificity was 86.1%. In addition, the NLR at 36 weeks of PMA exhibited some diagnostic value for BPD. The AUC was 0.693 (p < 0.001), the sensitivity was 54%, and specificity was 83.3%. CONCLUSIONS At 3 weeks after birth and 36 weeks of PMA, some systemic inflammation indices (like N, NLR, SIRI) of preterm infants with BPD have specific predictive and diagnostic values; these indices may help the management of high-risk preterm infants with BPD.

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 As the worldwide population ages, the population receiving open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is growing, and surgical site infection (SSI) is a rare but fatal surgical complication. This study aimed to identify risk factors independently associated with SSI following OWHTO and develop a predictive nomogram. Methods Clinical data of patients who received OWHTO and followed up for more than 12 months in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine independent risk factors for SSI and to construct predictive nomograms. The study further illustrated the predictive performance of the model by using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results A total of 1294 eligible patients were included in the study. Multivariate analysis revealed tobacco consumption (OR=3.44, p=0.010), osteotomy size ≥12 mm (OR=3.3, p=0.015), the use of allogeneic bone or artificial bone graft substitutes (allogeneic bone vs none, OR=4.08, p=0.037; artificial bone vs none, OR=5.16, p=0.047), Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade IV (OR=2.5, p=0.046), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) >423.62 (OR=6.2, p<0.001), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HCRP) >2.6 mg/L (OR=2.42, p=0.044), and a higher level of fasting blood glucose (FBG) (OR=1.32, p=0.022) were the independent predictors of SSI. The cutoff score of the model was 148, with a sensitivity of 76.0% and specificity of 81.0%. The concordance index (C-index) and Brier score of the nomogram were 0.856 and 0.017, and the corrected values after 1000 bootstrapping validations were 0.820 and 0.018, respectively. Furthermore, the ROC curve, calibration curve, and DCA exhibited excellent predictive accuracy and clinical applicability of the model. Conclusion This study developed a dynamic nomogram based on seven predictors, which allowed surgeons to individualize risk stratification of patients and intervene promptly to reduce SSI rates.

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
Background Recently, the systemic immune inflammatory response index (SIIRI), a novel and expanded inflammatory response marker, has been an independent predictor of lesion severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, its predictive role in patients with initially diagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be explored. Patients and Methods We evaluated 959 patients with CAD undergoing an initial coronary intervention. Each patient had laboratory measurements, including blood cell counts, taken after admission and before interventional treatment. The primary endpoint was major cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction(MI), and nonfatal stroke. The secondary endpoints included MACEs and readmission for congestive heart failure(HF). Results During a mean follow-up period of 33.3±9.9 months, 229 (23.9%) MACEs were recorded. ROC curve analysis displayed that the best cut-off value of SIIRI for predicting MACEs was 247.17*1018/L2. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the survival rate of the low SIIRI group was higher than that of the high SIIRI group (P<0.001). Compared with the low SIIRI group, the high SIIRI group had a significantly higher risk of MACEs (187 cases (39.53%) vs.42 patients (8.64%), P<0.001). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses displayed that high SIIRI levels were independently associated with the occurrence of MACEs in patients with initially diagnosed CAD undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 3.808, 95% confidence interval [CI%]: 2.643-5.486, P<0.001). Adding SIIRI to conventional risk factor models improved the predictive value of MACEs. Conclusion Elevated SIIRI is associated with adverse cardiovascular prognosis in patients with initially diagnosed CAD. SIIRI can be a simple and practical index to identify high-risk patients with CAD after PCI.

Systemic inflammation response index as a clinical outcome evaluating tool and prognostic indicator for hospitalized stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:474. [PMID: 37915088 PMCID: PMC10621190 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01446-3] [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: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke, which is the main element of cerebrovascular disease (CVD), has become the foremost reason for death and disability on a global scale. The systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), a newly developed and comprehensive indicator, has demonstrated promise in forecasting clinical results for diverse ailments. Nevertheless, the uncertainty surrounding the assessment and prediction of clinical outcomes for stroke patients by SIRI persists, and the conflicting findings from the limited studies conducted on this matter further complicate the situation. Consequently, we performed a thorough systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the correlation between SIRI and the clinical results in individuals suffering from stroke. METHODS This research was registered in PROSPERO and carried out following the PRISMA guidelines. A thorough investigation was carried out on PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Furthermore, we conducted a manual search in Chinese databases, such as China national Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang, VIP, and China Biology Medicine (CBM). We assessed the potential for bias in the studies included by utilizing the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) tool. Adverse clinical outcomes were the main focus of the study, with secondary endpoints including mortality, the predictive value of SIRI, SIRI values across various endpoints, and clinical parameters associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in relation to low and high SIRI group. RESULTS Following rigorous evaluation, a grand total of 22 investigations, encompassing a populace of 12,737 individuals, were considered suitable for incorporation in the final analysis. The findings from our meta-analysis indicate a strong and consistent correlation between elevated SIRI levels and adverse functional outcomes, irrespective of the method used to evaluate unfavorable outcomes. Furthermore, increased SIRI values have a strong correlation with mortality rates in both the short and long term. Besides, SIRI is a useful indicator of the severity of SAH. SIRI demonstrates strong predictive ability in identifying unfavorable outcomes and stroke-related pneumonia (SAP), as higher SIRI values are typically linked to negative endpoints. Nevertheless, the meta-analysis indicated that there was no significant increase in the risk of early neurological deterioration (END) and acute hydrocephalus (AHC) in high SIRI group when comparing to low SIRI. CONCLUSION This study could potentially pave the way for groundbreaking insights into the relationship between SIRI and stroke patient outcomes, as it appears to be the first meta-analysis to explore this association. Given the critical role of the inflammatory response in stroke recovery, closely monitoring patients with high SIRI levels could represent a promising strategy for mitigating brain damage post-stroke. Thus, further investigation into SIRI and its impact on clinical outcomes is essential. While our initial findings offer valuable insights into this area, continued research is necessary to fully elucidate the potential of SIRI, ideally through dynamic monitoring and large-scale, multi-center studies. Ultimately, this research has the potential to inform clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes following stroke.

Systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) on the 3rd postoperative day are associated with severe pneumonia in cerebral hemorrhage patients: A single-center retrospective study.

[PMID: 37904408 PMCID: PMC10615502 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Inflammatory response was involved in the progression of cerebral hemorrhage. We sought to explore the associations of easily obtained inflammatory indicators including blood cell counts and the ratios of different blood cells counts with pneumonia and severe pneumonia in cerebral hemorrhage patients. We carried 1 retrospective study including 200 patients with cerebral hemorrhage and surgeries. The associations of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets, systemic immune inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with pneumonia and severe pneumonia in cerebral hemorrhage patients were estimated by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression model. Among the 200 patients included, there were a total of 163 (81.5%) had pneumonia after surgeries. Among 163 cerebral hemorrhage patients with pneumonia, 60 (36.8%) cases were evaluated as severe pneumonia. The level of SIRI on the 1st postoperative day in patients with severe pneumonia was higher than non-severe pneumonia (10.89 ± 12.10 × 109/L vs 7.14 ± 9.76 × 109/L, P = .003). The level of SIRI on the 3rd postoperative day in patients with severe pneumonia was more significantly higher (7.98 ± 7.46 × 109/L vs 4.10 ± 3.74 × 109/L, P < .001). The results of multivariate analysis showed that SIRI level on the 3rd postoperative day (>6.5 × 109/L) was associated with severe pneumonia in cerebral hemorrhage patients (OR: 4.409, 95% CI: 1.799-10.806, P = .001). SIRI was possibly a superior predictor for severe pneumonia in cerebral hemorrhage patients compared with other inflammatory indicators. On the one hand, we intend to validate the cutoff value of SIRI for predicting severe pneumonia in larger samples and multicenter studies. On the other hand, we also intend to use this index to guide the choice of antibacterial drugs in order to better benefit patients.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a prevalent neuroimmunological illness that leads to neurological disability in young adults. Although the etiology of MS is heterogeneous, it is well established that aberrant activity of adaptive and innate immune cells plays a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Several immune cell abnormalities have been described in MS and its animal models, including T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils, microglia/macrophages, and astrocytes, among others. Physical exercise offers a valuable alternative or adjunctive disease-modifying therapy for MS. A growing body of evidence indicates that exercise may reduce the autoimmune responses triggered by immune cells in MS. This is partially accomplished by restricting the infiltration of peripheral immune cells into the central nervous system (CNS) parenchyma, curbing hyperactivation of immune cells, and facilitating a transition in the balance of immune cells from a pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory state. This review provides a succinct overview of the correlation between physical exercise, immune cells, and MS pathology, and highlights the potential benefits of exercise as a strategy for the prevention and treatment of MS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Investigate the association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) about the presence of postoperative pneumonia (POP) in geriatric patients with hip fractures. Compare the predictive value of these biomarkers for POP and assess their potential for early detection of POP. METHODS We retrospectively included elderly patients with hip fractures who underwent surgical treatment at our institution. POP was diagnosed according to the guidelines provided by the American Thoracic Society. We collected neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts upon admission to calculate the NLR, PLR, and SII. Receiver operating characteristic curves were utilized to establish the optimal cutoff values for each index. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score matching analysis were utilized to assess the independent association between each index and POP after adjusting for demographic, comorbidity, and surgery-related variables. RESULTS The study included a total of 1199 patients, among whom 111 cases (9.26%) developed POP. NLR exhibited the highest predictive value for POP in elderly patients with hip fractures compared to PLR and SII (AUC = 0.648, 95% CI 0.594-0.701). A high NLR, using the optimal cutoff value of 5.84, was significantly associated with an increased incidence of POP (OR = 2.24, 95% CI 1.43-3.51). This finding remained statistically significant even after propensity score matching (OR = 2.04, 95% CI 1.31-3.20). CONCLUSIONS Among the three inflammatory/immune markers considered, the NLR demonstrates the highest reliability as a predictor for POP in elderly patients with hip fractures. Therefore, it serves as a valuable tool for early identification.

Prognostic value of inflammatory markers for in-hospital mortality in intensive care patients with acute ischemic stroke: a retrospective observational study based on MIMIC-IV. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1174711.

Abstract
Background Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a primary cause of death and disability worldwide. Four markers that can be readily determined from peripheral blood, namely, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and total bilirubin, were measured in this study. We examined the relationship between the SII and in-hospital mortality after AIS and evaluated which of the above four indicators was most accurate for predicting in-hospital mortality after AIS. Methods We selected patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database who were aged >18 years and who were diagnosed with AIS on admission. We collected the patients' baseline characteristics, including various clinical and laboratory data. To investigate the relationship between the SII and in-hospital mortality in patients with AIS, we employed the generalized additive model (GAM). Differences in in-hospital mortality between the groups were summarized by the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the log-rank test. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the accuracy of the four indicators (SII, NLR, PLR, and total bilirubin) for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with AIS. Results The study included 463 patients, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 12.31%. The GAM analysis showed a positive correlation between the SII and in-hospital mortality in patients with AIS, but the correlation was not linear. Unadjusted Cox regression identified a link between a high SII and an increased probability of in-hospital mortality. We also found that patients with an SII of >1,232 (Q2 group) had a considerably higher chance of in-hospital mortality than those with a low SII (Q1 group). The Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients with an elevated SII had a significantly lower chance of surviving their hospital stay than those with a low SII. According to the results of the ROC curve analysis, the in-hospital mortality of patients with AIS predicted by the SII had an area under the ROC curve of 0.65, which revealed that the SII had a better discriminative ability than the NLR, PLR, and total bilirubin. Conclusion The in-hospital mortality of patients with AIS and the SII were positively correlated, but not linearly. A high SII was associated with a worse prognosis in patients with AIS. The SII had a modest level of discrimination for forecasting in-hospital mortality. The SII was slightly better than the NLR and significantly better than the PLR and total bilirubin for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with AIS.

Abstract
Background Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) play an important role in the inflammatory response in various diseases, but the role in the course of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is unclear. Methods This study retrospectively collected baseline characteristics and laboratory findings, including NLR and PLR at different time points, from spontaneous ICH patients undergoing surgery between January 2016 and June 2021. Patients were scored using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) to evaluate their functional status at 30 days post-operation. Patients with mRS score ≥3 were defined as poor functional status, and mRS score <3 was defined as good functional status. The NLR and PLR were calculated at admission, 48 h after surgery and 3-7 days after surgery, respectively, and their trends were observed by connecting the NLR and PLR at different time points. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of ICH patients at 30 days after surgery. Results A total of 101 patients were included in this study, and 59 patients had a poor outcome at 30 days after surgery. NLR and PLR gradually increased and then decreased, peaking at 48 h after surgery. Univariate analysis demonstrated that admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, interval from onset to admission, hematoma location, NLR within 48 h after surgery and PLR within 48 h after surgery were associated with poor 30-day prognosis. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, NLR within 48 h after surgery (OR, 1.147; 95% CI, 1.005, 1.308; P, 0.042) was an independent risk factor for 30-day after surgery prognosis in spontaneous ICH patients. Conclusion In the course of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, NLR and PLR initially increased and subsequently decreased, reaching their peak values at 48 h after surgery. High NLR within 48 h after surgery was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis 30 days after surgery in spontaneous ICH patients.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of anticoagulant therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) remain uncertain. This study enrolled 431 AIS and AF patients from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between January 2019 and December 2021 and followed for 365 days to determine the associations between anticoagulants and clinical outcomes by assessing modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, recurrent ischemic stroke/systemic embolism (IS/SE), all-cause mortality, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and major bleeding. Final analysis included 400 eligible patients and divided them into antiplatelet group (n = 191) and anticoagulant group (n = 209). Anticoagulant therapy was associated with excellent (mRS 0-1; adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 2.63; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.61-4.30) and favorable functional outcomes (mRS 0-2; aOR, 2.82; 95% CI, 1.69-4.70) and lower risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 0.35; 95% CI, 0.21-0.57), ICH (aHR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.23-0.87) and major bleeding (aHR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.28-0.94), without increasing the risk of recurrent IS/SE (aHR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.45-1.24). In conclusion, anticoagulant therapy may be a more effective and safer option than antiplatelet therapy for AIS patients with AF.
