Association of Neutrophil-Lymphocyte and Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio with Adverse Events in Endovascular Repair for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

ABSTRACT: The association of chronic inflammatory markers with the clinical outcome after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) was investigated. We included 230 patients, treated electively with EVAR. The values of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were measured pre- and postoperatively. Any major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) and acute kidney injury (AKI) were recorded. Adverse events occurred in 12 patients (5.2%). Seven patients suffered from MACE and five from AKI. Median NLR and PLR values were significantly increased after the procedure (NLR: from 3.34 to 8.64, p < 0.001 and PLR: from 11.37 to 17.21, p < 0.001). None of the patients or procedure characteristics were associated with the occurrence of either a MACE or AKI. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that postoperative NLR and PLR were strongly associated with AKI. A threshold postoperative NLR value of 9.9 was associated with the occurrence of AKI, with a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 81%. A threshold postoperative PLR value of 22.8 was associated with the occurrence of AKI, with a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 83%. Postoperative NLR and PLR have been associated with the occurrence of AKI after EVAR for AAA.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Preoperative risk prediction in patients at elevated cardiovascular risk shows limited accuracy. Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) indicate systemic inflammation. Both have been investigated for outcome prediction in the field of oncology and cardiovascular medicine, as well as risk prediction of adverse cardiovascular events in non-surgical patients at increased cardiovascular risk. METHODS:For this post-hoc analysis, we included all 38 coronary heart disease patients from the Leukocytes and Cardiovascular Perioperative Events cohort-1 study scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery. We evaluated preoperative differential blood counts for association with major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) defined as the composite endpoint of death, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery, or embolic or thrombotic stroke within 30 days after surgery. We used Youden's index to calculate cut-off values for PLR and NLR. Additive risk-predictive values were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve and net reclassification (NRI) improvement analyses. RESULTS:Patients with the composite endpoint MACCE had higher PLR and NLR (309 [206; 380] vs. 160 [132; 203], p = 0.001; 4.9 [3.5; 8.1] vs. 2.6 [2.2; 3.4]), p = 0.001). Calculated cut-offs for PLR > 204.4 and NLR > 3.1 were associated with increased risk of 30-day MACCE (OR 7, 95% CI [1.2; 44.7], p = 0.034; OR 36, 95% CI [1.8; 686.6], p = 0.001). Furthermore, NLR improved risk prediction in coronary heart disease patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery when combined with hs-cTnT or NT-proBNP (NRI total = 0.23, p = 0.008, NRI total = 0.26, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS:Both PLR and NLR were associated with perioperative cardiovascular adverse events in coronary heart disease patients. NLR proved to be of additional value for preoperative risk stratification. Both PLR and NLR could be used as inexpensive and broadly available tools for perioperative risk assessment.
