Prognostic utility of the combination of monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with NSTEMI after primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:This study aimed to evaluate prognostic value of the combination of monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for predicting long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). DESIGN:Retrospective cohort study. SETTING:Civil Aviation General Hospital, Beijing, China. PARTICIPANTS:678 patients with NSTEMI undergoing primary PCI between July 2010 and July 2015 were enrolled. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The main outcomes were MACE. The cumulative MACE-free survival rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and the independent predictors of MACE were assessed by Cox regression analysis. RESULTS:According to the cut-off values of MLR 0.36 and NLR 2.15, the study population was classified into four groups: low MLR + low?NLR group (n=319), low MLR + high?NLR group (n=126), high MLR + low?NLR group (n=102) and high MLR + high?NLR group (n=131). The high MLR + high?NLR group had a lower MACE-free survival rate than the other three groups (p logrank <0.001). Both MLR (HR 2.128, 95%?CI 1.458 to 3.105) and NLR (HR 1.925, 95%?CI 1.385 to 2.676) were independent predictors of long-term MACE. Moreover, the patients in the high MLR + high?NLR group had an HR of 4.055 (95% CI 2.550 to 6.448) for long-term MACE, with the low-MLR + low?NLR group as reference. Comparisons of receiver operating characteristic curves revealed that the combination of MLR with NLR achieved better performance in differentiating long-term MACE, compared with MLR, NLR, high-sensitivity C reactive protein and brain natriuretic peptide alone, and had similar performance to all other pairwise combinations of the four biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS:Elevated levels of MLR and NLR were independent predictors of long-term MACE in patients with NSTEMI. Moreover, the combination of MLR and NLR could improve the prognostic value in predicting long-term MACE.

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: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.

Project description:(1) Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability. An inflammatory response is observed in multiple stages of cerebral ischemia, particularly in the acute phase. Recent publications revealed that the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) may be used to predict long-term prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after thrombolysis. To test whether there is a relationship between the combination of these parameters and long-term prognosis, we analyzed the NLR-LMR combination in AIS patients treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA); (2) Methods: The study included 285 adults with a diagnosis of AIS and rtPA treatment within a 4.5 h time window. Blood samples were obtained at admission and 24 h after thrombolysis to calculate pre- and post-thrombolysis NLR and LMR. Clinical data, including NIHSS was registered on admission and day 1. The long-term outcome was defined 90 days post-event by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Therapy-associated intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) was classified according to ECASS II. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was performed to determine optimal cutoffs of NLR and LMR as predictors of therapy outcomes; (3) Results: Patients were stratified by cutoffs of 5.73 for NLR and 2.08 for LMR. The multivariate logistic regression model, including all possible confounders, displayed no significant association between NLR or LMR with 3-months functional prognosis. The combination of high NLR-low LMR vs. low NRL-high LMR as obtained 24 h after thrombolysis was found to be an independent predictor of poor 3-months functional outcome (mRS ≥ 2; OR 3.407, 95% CI 1.449 to 8.011, p = 0.005). The proportion of patients between low NLR-high LMR and high NLR-low LMR groups from admission to day 1 showed no significant change in the good outcome group. On the other hand, in the poor outcome group (mRS ≥ 2), low NLR-high LMR and high NLR-low LMR groups displayed a significant shift in patient proportions from 67% and 21% at admission (p = 0.001) to 36% and 49% at 24 h after thrombolysis (p < 0.001), respectively; (4) Conclusions: Our study demonstrated for the first time that a high NLR-low LMR combination as observed at 24 h after thrombolysis can serve as an independent predictor of 3-months poor outcome in AIS patients. This simple and readily available data may help clinicians to improve the prognostic estimation of patients and may provide guidance in selecting patients for personalized and intensified care post-thrombolysis.

Project description:BackgroundResearch on neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) in depression is still emerging and has increased 3-fold since the first meta-analysis. An updated meta-analysis with sufficient studies can provide more evidence for a potential relationship between NLR, PLR, MLR, and depression.MethodsWe identified 18 studies from the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and Web of Science databases. Meta-analyses were performed to generate pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) between patients with depression and controls. Sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, meta-regression, and publication bias were conducted.ResultsA total of 18 studies including 2,264 depressed patients and 2,415 controls were included. Depressed patients had significantly higher NLR and PLR compared with controls (SMD = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.15-0.52, p < 0.001 and SMD = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.02-0.46, p < 0.05, respectively). MLR was slightly higher in depressed individuals compared to controls (SMD = 0.15, 95% CI: -0.26 to 0.55, p > 0.05), despite the absence of significance. Sensitivity analysis removing one study responsible for heterogeneity showed a higher and significant effect (SMD = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.20-0.44) of MLR. Three subgroup analyses of NLR, PLR, MLR, and depression revealed obvious differences in the inflammatory ratios between depressed patients and controls in China and the matched age and gender subgroup. Individuals with post-stroke depression (PSD) had higher NLR and MLR values as compared to non-PSD patients (SMD = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.36-0.67, p < 0.001 and SMD = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.12-0.79, p < 0.01, respectively). Meta-regression analyses showed that male proportion in the case group influenced the heterogeneity among studies that measured NLR values (p < 0.05).ConclusionsHigher inflammatory ratios, especially NLR, were significantly associated with an increased risk of depression. In the subgroup of China and matched age and gender, NLR, PLR, and MLR were all elevated in depressed patients vs. controls. Individuals with PSD had higher NLR and MLR values as compared to non-PSD patients. Gender differences may have an effect on NLR values in patients with depression.

Project description:Background Inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a novel inflammatory biomarker and its association with clinical outcomes in CAD patients with different glycemic metabolism after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains undetermined. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of NLR on the prognosis of patients undergoing PCI with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods We consecutively enrolled 8,835 patients with CAD hospitalized for PCI at Fuwai hospital. NLR was calculated using the following formula: neutrophil (*109/L)/lymphocyte (*109/L). According to optimal cut-off value, study patients were categorized as higher level of NLR (NLR-H) and lower level of NLR (NLR-L) and were further stratified as NLR-H with T2DM and non-T2DM, and NLR-L with T2DM and non-T2DM. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), defined as all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and target vessel revascularization. Results A total of 674 (7.6%) MACCEs were recorded during a median follow-up of 2.4 years. The optimal cut-off value of NLR was 2.85 determined by the surv_cutpoint function. Compared to those in the NLR-H/T2DM groups, patients in the NLR-L/non-T2DM, NLR-H/non-T2DM and NLR-L/T2DM groups were at significantly lower risk of 2-year MACCEs [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 0.67, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.52 to 0.87, P = 0.003; adjusted HR: 0.62, 95%CI: 0.45 to 0.85, P = 0.003; adjusted HR: 0.77, 95%CI: 0.61 to 0.97, P = 0.025; respectively]. Remarkably, patients in the NLR-L/non-T2DM group also had significantly lower risk of a composite of all-cause mortality and MI than those in the NLR-H/T2DM group (adjusted HR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.35 to 0.93, P = 0.024). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards model also indicated the highest risk of MACCEs in diabetic patients with higher level of NLR than others (P for trend = 0.009). Additionally, subgroup analysis indicated consistent impact of NLR on MACCEs across different subgroups. Conclusions Presence of T2DM with elevated NLR is associated with worse clinical outcomes in CAD patients undergoing PCI. Categorization of patients with elevated NLR and T2DM could provide valuable information for risk stratification of CAD patients.
