Platelet to lymphocyte ratio as a predictive factor of 30-day mortality in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acute mesenteric ischemia is associated with high rates of mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on 30-day outcomes in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia.

Material and methods

Consecutive patients who were admitted for an acute mesenteric ischemia were retrospectively included. The full white blood count at the time of admission to the hospital was recorded. The population was divided into 4 subgroups according to the quartiles of the NLR and the PLR. The 30-day outcomes including the mortality and the complications were compared among the subgroups.

Results

In total, 106 patients were included. A surgical treatment including revascularization and/or digestive resection was performed for 56 patients (52.8%). The 30-day all-cause mortality was 72 patients (67.9%). Patients with higher PLR value (PLR >429.3) had significantly higher rate of mortality compared to the other groups (80.8% vs 46.2%, 66.7% and 77.8%, p = 0.03). No significant difference on 30-day outcome was observed among the subgroups divided according to the NLR.

Conclusion

The PLR, but not the NLR, is a predictive factor of 30-day mortality in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia.

Project description:BackgroundThe preoperative peripheral blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) have been reported to be associated with the prognosis of various cancers but are always discussed separately. The aim of this study is to bring the combination of NLR, PLR and MLR into the prognostic assessment system of endometrial cancer (EC) and establish a nomogram to provide an objective prediction model for clinical decisions.MethodsA total of 1111 patients with EC who had accepted surgical treatment during 2013-2017 were involved in the analysis. Their NLR, PLR, and MLR levels were obtained from a routine blood examination within 2 weeks before operation. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was performed to determine optimal cutoffs. Chi-square tests analysed the associations of the ratios with other clinicopathological variables. The prognostic value was indicated by overall survival (OS) via Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier analysis. R software was used to establish the nomogram based on the combination of NLR, PLR, MLR and other clinicopathological factors.ResultsThe median follow-up period was 40 months, and the median age was 56. The enrolled patients were stratified by cutoffs of 2.14 for NLR, 131.82 for PLR and 0.22 for MLR. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that high NLR over 2.14 (HR = 2.71, 95%CI = 1.83-4.02, P<0.001), high PLR over 131.82 (HR = 2.75, 95%CI = 1.90-3.97, P<0.001), and high MLR over 0.22 (HR = 1.72, 95%CI = 1.20-2.45, P = 0.003) were significantly associated with worse OS. The combined indicator, high NLR + high PLR + high MLR (HR = 4.34, 95%CI = 2.54-7.42, P<0.001), showed the highest prognostic value. The Harrell's concordance index of the nomogram was 0.847 (95% CI = 0.804-0.890), showing good discrimination and calibration of this model.ConclusionThe combination of NLR, PLR, and MLR is a superior prognostic factor of EC. The nomogram involving the combination of NLR, PLR, MLR and other clinicopathological factors is recommended to predict OS for EC patients clinically.

Project description:Acute Limb Ischemia (ALI) of the lower limb is defined as a sudden drop in arterial limb perfusion, which is a medical emergency requiring prompt intervention with high amputation and mortality rates in the absence of revascularization. This observational, analytical, and retrospective cohort study with longitudinal follow-up aimed to confirm the relevance of the preoperative inflammatory biomarkers neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting the 30-day poor prognosis of patients with Rutherford classification (RC) grades II and III ALI. The ROC analysis found a strong association of an NLR > 4.33 with all studied outcomes, while a PLR > 143.34 was associated with all studied outcomes, except the composite endpoint in all RC stages. Depending on the optimal cut-off value, the ROC analysis found a higher incidence of all adverse outcomes in all high NLR (>4.33) and high PLR (>143.34) groups. A multivariate analysis showed that a high baseline value for NLR and PLR was an independent predictor of amputation (OR:11.09; 95% CI: 5.48-22.42; p < 0.0001; and OR:8.97; 95% CI: 4.44-18.16; p < 0.0001), mortality (OR:22.24; 95% CI: 9.61-51.47; p < 0.0001; and OR:8.32; 95% CI: 3.90-17.73; p < 0.0001), and composite endpoint (OR:21.93; 95% CI: 7.91-60.79; p < 0.0001; and OR:9.98; 95% CI: 3.89-25.55; p < 0.0001), respectively. Furthermore, for all hospitalized patients, the RC grade III (OR:7.33; 95% CI: 3.73-14.26; p < 0.0001) was an independent predictor of amputation (OR:7.33; 95% CI: 3.73-14.26; p < 0.0001), mortality (OR:8.40; 95% CI: 4.08-17.31; p < 0.0001), and composite endpoint (OR: 10.70; 95% CI: 4.48-25.56; p < 0.0001), respectively. The NLR and PLR are excellent predictors of risks associated with ALI for primary and secondary prevention. Our study showed that increased pre-operative values for NLR and PLR are indicators of a poor outcome in patients with RC grades II and III ALI.

Project description:BackgroundHemodialysis (HD) is the most important renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Systemic inflammation is a risk factor of mortality in HD patients. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are new inflammatory markers. However, previous studies have inconsistent conclusions about the predictive value of NLR, MLR and PLR on mortality of HD patients. The aim of this study was to establish an inflammation scoring system by including NLR, MLR and PLR, and evaluate the association between the inflammation score and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in HD patients.MethodsIn this single center retrospective cohort study, 213 incident HD patients from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020 were included. Baseline demographic and clinical data and laboratory measurements were collected. According to the optimal cut-off values, NLR, MLR and PLR were assigned 0 or 1 point, respectively. Then, the inflammation score was obtained by adding the NLR, MLR and PLR scores. All patients were followed until July 31, 2021. The associations of the inflammation score with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were assessed by multivariable-adjusted Cox models.ResultsOf 213 patients, the mean (± SD) age was 56.8 ± 14.4 years, 66.2% were men, and 32.9% with diabetes. The primary cause of ESKD was mainly chronic glomerulonephritis (46.5%) and diabetic nephropathy (28.6%). The median inflammation score was 2 (interquartile range = 1-3). During a median 30 months (interquartile range = 17-50 months) follow-up period, 53 patients had died, of which 33 deaths were caused by cardiovascular disease. After adjusting for demographics, primary diseases and other confounders in multivariable model, the inflammation score = 3 was associated with a hazard ratio for all-cause mortality of 4.562 (95% confidence interval, 1.342-15.504, P = 0.015) and a hazard ratio for cardiovascular mortality of 4.027 (95% confidence interval, 0.882-18.384, P = 0.072).ConclusionIn conclusion, an inflammation scoring system was established by including NLR, MLR and PLR, and the higher inflammation score was independently associated with all-cause mortality in HD patients.
