Abstract
INTRODUCTION To explore the association between monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and the risk of hospitalization due to gastrointestinal (GI) disorder in hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS In this multicenter, observational cohort study, 1626 patients were enrolled in 2019 and followed up to 2 years. Cox regression models were performed to estimate the association of MLR with GI disorder-related hospitalization risk. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted to evaluate the cutoff value of MLR in identifying GI disorder-related hospitalization. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 24 months, GI disorder-related hospitalization occurred in 107 patients. Higher MLR was independently associated with greater risks of GI disorder-related hospitalization. Furthermore, a cut-off value of 0.42 differentiated patients with GI disorder-related hospitalization from those without GI involvement. CONCLUSION MLR was associated with the occurrence of GI disorder-related hospitalization in HD patients. The blood MLR could be monitored as a useful marker to predict GI disorder-related hospitalization.

[PMID: 38652006 PMCID: PMC11037256 DOI: 10.1002/iid3.1201] [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: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level with novel inflammatory markers in hemodialysis-treated patients. METHODS A total of 167 maintenance hemodialysis-treated patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The patients were divided into vitamin D deficiency (a serum 25(OH)D level <20 ng/mL) and nondeficiency (a serum 25(OH)D level ≥20 ng/mL) groups. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were calculated by the complete blood cell count. The relationship between 25(OH)D level with other parameters was assessed by bivariate correlation analysis and linear regression analysis. RESULTS There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, diabetes, levels of albumin, creatinine, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as well as NLR and MLR (p = .004, p = .031, p < .001, p = .043, p = .008, p = .006, p = .002, and p < .001, respectively). There exist negative correlations between serum 25(OH)D level with age, diabetes, alkaline phosphatase level, NLR, PLR, and MLR (p = .002, p = .002, p = .037, p = .001, p = .041, and p < .001, respectively) and positive correlations between serum 25(OH)D level with albumin level, creatinine level, phosphorus level, HDL-C, and LDL-C (p < .001, p < .001, p = .013, p = .02, p = .002, respectively). Multiple analysis results showed that sex, diabetes, albumin level and NLR were independently associated with serum 25(OH)D level (p = .021, p = .015, p = .033, and p = .041, respectively). High values of NLR and MLR were associated with patients with serum 25(OH)D deficiency. There were negative interplays between serum 25(OH) D level with NLR, PLR, and MLR and also an independent association between serum 25(OH) D level with NLR. CONCLUSION Collectively, serum 25(OH)D level has a negative correlation with inflammatory markers.

Yan Z, Li L. Prognostic Value of Systemic Inflammatory Response Index for the Prognosis of Diabetic Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study. Int J Gen Med 2023; 16:3613-3622. [PMID: 37637705 PMCID: PMC10455827 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s425737] [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: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) had been identified as an inflammatory marker and has been linked to determining clinical outcomes in several diseases. We advocated the relationship between the initial SIRI and the prognosis of diabetic maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods A total of 153 diabetic MHD patients who accepted regular HD treatment at our hospital were enrolled in this study. SIRI was calculated as neutrophil × monocyte/lymphocyte. All patients were separated into two groups based on the levels of SIRI. LASSO regression and Cox regression analyses were then made to determine the prognostic value of SIRI for diabetic MHD patients. Results During a median 33-month follow-up period, 50 (32.7%) patients died. The higher SIRI value (≥ 2.5) had a higher risk of death (adjusted HR=4.00, 95% CI 1.77-9.07, P=0.001) after adjusting for other confounding clinical features. The devised nomogram ground on SIRI value and clinical features had great predictive value for overall survival in diabetic MHD patients. The nomogram proved both prominent calibration competence and therapeutic subservience. Conclusion SIRI is a relatively excellent predictor for OS, and the suggested nomogram ground on SIRI leads to an accurate prediction value for diabetic MHD patients.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:13136. [PMID: 37573470 PMCID: PMC10423199 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-40429-6] [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: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023] Open
Abstract
The role of inflammation and the correlation between inflammatory markers and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been studied. In clinical work, a large number of T2DM patients complicated with CKD, but the cause of CKD was not clear. Our study aimed to evaluate the relationship between monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and mortality in T2DM patients with CKD. The data from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III was analyzed. The primary outcome was 90-day all-cause mortality; the secondary outcomes were the length of ICU stay, hospital mortality and 30-day all-cause mortality. Cox regression was used to evaluate the association between MLR and 90-day mortality. We performed subgroup analyses to determine the consistency of this association, and used Kaplan-Meier survival curve to analysis the survival of different levels of MLR. A total of 1830 patients were included in study retrospectively. The length of ICU stay, 30-day all-cause mortality, and 90-day all-cause mortality in the MLR > 0.71 group were significantly higher than those in the MLR < 0.28 and 0.28 ≤ MLR ≤ 0.71 group. In Cox regression analysis, high MLR level was significantly associated with increased greater risk of 90-day all-cause mortality. The adjusted HR (95%CIs) for the model 1, model 2, and model 3 were 2.429 (1.905-3.098), 2.070 (1.619-2.647), and 1.898 (1.478-2.437), respectively. Subgroup analyses also showed the consistency of association between MLR and 90-day all-cause mortality. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis revealed that MLR > 0.71 had worst prognosis. In T2DM patients with CKD in the intensive care unit, high MLR was significantly associated with increased risk 90-day all-cause mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the association between Monocyte Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR) and Abdominal Aortic Calcification (AAC) in adults over 40 years of age in the United States. METHODS Data were collected from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). AAC was quantified by the Kauppila score system based on dual-energy X-Ray absorptiometry. Severe AAC was defined as a total AAC score > 6. The lymphocyte count and monocyte count can be directly obtained from laboratory data files. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine the association between MLR and the AAC score and severe AAC. RESULTS A total of 3,045 participants were included in the present study. After adjusting for multiple covariates, MLR was positively associated with higher AAC score (β = 0.21, 95% CI 0.07, 0.34, p = 0.0032) and the odds of severe AAC increased by 14% per 0.1 unit increase in the MLR (OR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.00, 1.31, p = 0.0541). The Odds Ratio (OR) (95% CI) of severe AAC for participants in MLR tertile 3 was 1.88 (1.02, 3.47) compared with those in tertile 1 (p for trend = 0.0341). Subgroup analyses showed that a stronger association was detected in the elderly compared with non-elderly (p for interaction = 0.0346) and diabetes compared with non-diabetes (borderline significant p for interaction = 0.0578). CONCLUSION In adults in the United States, MLR was associated with higher AAC scores and a higher probability of severe AAC. MLR may become a promising tool to predict the risk of AAC.

Monocyte-Lymphocyte Ratio and Dysglycemia: A Retrospective, Cross-Sectional Study of the Saudi Population. Healthcare (Basel) 2022; 10:healthcare10112289. [PMID: 36421613 PMCID: PMC9690849 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10112289] [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: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Abnormalities in fasting blood glucose (FBG) resulting in hypoglycemia (OG), impaired fasting glycemia (IFG), or hyperglycemia (HG) arise from disordered metabolic regulation caused in part by inflammation. To date, there is a dearth of evidence regarding the clinical utility of the monocyte−lymphocyte ratio (MLR), an emerging inflammatory index, in the management of dysglycemia. Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study explored MLR fluctuations as a function of glycemic control in 14,173 Saudi subjects. Data collected from 11 August 2014 to 18 July 2020 were retrieved from Al-Borg Medical Laboratories. Medians were compared by Mann−Whitney U or Kruskal−Wallis tests and the prevalence, relative risk (RR), and odds ratio (OR) were calculated. Results: MLR was significantly elevated in IFG (p < 0.0001) and HG (p < 0.05) groups compared to the normoglycemia (NG) group, and individuals with elevated MLR (>0.191) had significantly increased FBG (p < 0.001). The risk of IFG (RR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.06−1.19, p < 0.0002) and HG (RR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01−1.20, p < 0.0216) was significantly increased if MLR was elevated, and individuals with elevated MLR were 1.17 times more likely to have IFG (OR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.08−1.26, p < 0.0002) and 1.13 times more likely to have HG (OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.02−1.24, p < 0.0216). Conclusion: Elevated MLR is correlated with and carries a greater risk for IFG and HG. However, large prospective cohort studies are needed to establish the temporal relationship between MLR and FBG and to examine the prognostic value of this novel marker.

Development of a prediction model to estimate the 5-year risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in haemodialysis patients: a retrospective study. PeerJ 2022; 10:e14316. [PMID: 36389426 PMCID: PMC9653067 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality in patients on haemodialysis. The development of a prediction model for CVD risk is necessary to help make clinical decisions for haemodialysis patients. This retrospective study aimed to develop a prediction model for the 5-year risk of CV events and all-cause mortality in haemodialysis patients in China. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 398 haemodialysis patients who underwent dialysis at the dialysis facility of the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command in June 2016 and were followed up for 5 years. The composite outcome was defined as CV events and/or all-cause death. Multivariable logistic regression with backwards stepwise selection was used to develop our new prediction model. Results Seven predictors were included in the final model: age, male sex, diabetes, history of CV events, no arteriovenous fistula at dialysis initiation, a monocyte/lymphocyte ratio greater than 0.43 and a serum uric acid level less than 436 mmol/L. Discrimination and calibration were satisfactory, with a C-statistic above 0.80. The predictors lay nearly on the 45-degree line for agreement with the outcome in the calibration plot. A simple clinical score was constructed to provide the probability of 5-year CV events or all-cause mortality. Bootstrapping validation showed that the new model also has similar discrimination and calibration. Compared with the Framingham risk score (FRS) and a similar model, our model showed better performance. Conclusion This prognostic model can be used to predict the long-term risk of CV events and all-cause mortality in haemodialysis patients. An MLR greater than 0.43 is an important prognostic factor.
