Pantea M, Iacob D, Dima M, Prodan M, Belei O, Negrean RA, Ilie AC. Predictive Value of Inflammatory Markers NLR, PLR, APRI, SII, and Liver Function Tests in Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Detection in Full-Term Newborns. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:593. [PMID: 38790588 PMCID: PMC11119895 DOI: 10.3390/children11050593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in full-term newborns. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Derived Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (dNLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Neutrophil, Lymphocyte, and Platelet Ratio (NLPR), AST-to-Platelet Ratio Index (APRI), and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) in identifying the risk for SIRS development in full-term newborns. Conducted between January 2023 and January 2024, this observational cohort study compared full-term newborns diagnosed with SIRS with newborns without SIRS, measuring the inflammatory markers within the first day of life and three days post-birth. The study included 229 newborns, 81 with SIRS and 148 controls without SIRS. Statistically significant differences were observed in NLR (3.81 vs. 2.20, p < 0.0001), PLR (68.12 vs. 52.30, p < 0.0001), and liver enzymes (AST 40.96 U/L vs. 31.58 U/L, ALT 34.66 U/L vs. 22.46 U/L, both p < 0.0001) between the groups. The NLPR demonstrated substantial diagnostic value, with a sensitivity of 78.36% and specificity of 83.52% at 72 h (p < 0.0001). Regression analysis highlighted that the NLPR and SII were strongly predictive of SIRS, with the NLPR showing over three-times higher SIRS risk (HR 3.29, p < 0.0001) and SII indicating nearly 3.5 times the risk (HR 3.47, p < 0.0001). The NLPR, APRI, and SII showed similar prediction values to CRP levels measured on the first and third days of life (HR 3.16). Inflammatory markers like NLR, PLR, and systemic indices such as NLPR and SII, alongside liver function tests, are significant predictors of SIRS in full-term newborns. These findings support the integration of these markers into routine neonatal care, allowing for early identification and potentially improved management of newborns at risk for SIRS, thereby enhancing clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Objective. Improving diagnostic ability of pediatric sepsis is of great significance for reducing the mortality of sepsis. This study explored the discriminatory capacity of nutritional index (PNI) in pediatric sepsis. Methods. We retrospectively enrolled 134 children with suspected sepsis and collected their clinical and laboratory data. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC), decision curve analysis (DCA) and net reclassification improvement (NRI) were performed to compare the predictive significance of the PNI, procalcitonin (PCT) and their combination. Results. Among 134 patients, 65 children were diagnosed with sepsis and 69 children with non-sepsis. PCT and PNI were independently associated with pediatric sepsis. PCT was superior to PNI to predict pediatric sepsis. The model based on PCT + PNI improved the predictive capacity than them alone, as demonstrated by ROC, DCA and NRI, respectively. Conclusion. PNI was independently associated with pediatric sepsis, and addition of PNI could improve the capacity of PCT to predict pediatric sepsis.

The relationship between lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio and all-cause mortality during ICU stays in patients with sepsis: A retrospective cohort study with propensity score matching. Heliyon 2024; 10:e27560. [PMID: 38496890 PMCID: PMC10944236 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27560] [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: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Sepsis is a prevalent and severe medical condition which is frequently observed in the intensive care unit (ICU). Although numerous biomarkers have been identified to predict the prognosis of sepsis, the lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LDH/ALB ratio) has not been extensively investigated. The principal objective of this study is to assess the relationship between LDH/ALB ratio and all-cause mortality in patients with sepsis. Methods This study included all adult critically ill patients with sepsis from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV, version 2.0) database. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted to mitigate bias, and Kaplan-Meier curves were performed to evaluate the cumulative survival across different groups. The association between the LDH/ALB ratio and mortality was examined through restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis and Cox regression analysis. The robustness of the findings was confirmed through subgroup analyses. Additionally, the prognostic capability of the LDH/ALB ratio was further evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results There were 6059 adult patients with sepsis enrolled in the final analysis. RCS revealed a non-linear relationship between the LDH/ALB ratio and an increased risk of ICU all-cause mortality (χ2 = 46.900, P < 0.001). Following PSM analysis, 1553 matched pairs were obtained. As comparison to the low LDH/ALB ratio group, the mortality rate in the high LDH/ALB ratio group was significantly higher (P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier curves, both before and after PSM, revealed that the ICU cumulative survival rate for patients with sepsis was significantly lower in the high LDH/ALB ratio group compared to the low LDH/ALB ratio group (χ2 = 93.360, P < 0.001; χ2 = 14.400, P < 0.001). Even after adjusting for a range of potential confounders, multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that an elevated LDH/ALB ratio was a significant predictor of all-cause mortality in these patients. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the LDH/ALB ratio had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.688 for predicting ICU mortality, with a sensitivity of 69.2% and a specificity of 58.6%. Conclusions An elevated LDH/ALB ratio (≥10.57) was associated with all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with sepsis, and it might serve as a prognostic marker. Clinicians should pay closer attention to sepsis patients presenting with an LDH/ALB ratio of 10.57 or higher.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse the clinical characteristics and risk factors for bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in neonates. METHODS This single-centre, retrospective study included all patients with BSIs admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit between 1 January 2015 and 30 April 2022. The clinical and microbiological data of patients were collected; predictors of 30-day mortality in patients with CRE BSIs were also identified in this study. RESULTS Among the 224 neonates with Enterobacteriaceae BSIs, 39.29% (88/224) of the patients developed CRE BSIs. The 30-day mortality rate reached up to 21.59% (19/88). The Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score > 2 (odds ratio [OR] and 95% credibility interval [CI]: 3.852 [1.111-13.356], P < 0.05), prior to more than two kinds of antibiotics use (OR and 95% CI: 9.433 [1.562-56.973], P < 0.05), pneumonia (OR and 95% CI: 3.847 [1.133-13.061], P < 0.05), and caesarean section (OR and 95% CI: 2.678 [1.225-5.857], P < 0.05) were independent risk factors associated with CRE BSIs. Moreover, the risk factors for mortality in neonates with CRE BSIs were significantly associated with neonatal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score > 6 (OR and 95% CI: 16.335 [1.446-184.517], P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Prior to more than two kinds of antibiotics use, Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score > 2, pneumonia and caesarean section were independent risk factors for CRE BSIs. The Neonatal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score > 6 was a risk factor for mortality associated with CRE BSIs.

Sági B, Vas T, Csiky B, Nagy J, Kovács TJ. Are Platelet-Related Parameters Prognostic Predictors of Renal and Cardiovascular Outcomes in IgA Nephropathy? J Clin Med 2024; 13:991. [PMID: 38398303 PMCID: PMC10889748 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13040991] [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: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 02/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is associated with chronic inflammation. Platelet-related parameters, such as the platelet (PLT) count, platelet-to-albumin ratio (PAR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), were examined as potential prognostic indicators for renal and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in IgAN. We were interested in whether platelet-related parameters are risk factors for ESKD and CV events in IgAN patients. Methods: In a monocentric retrospective study, 124 IgAN patients were divided into two groups based on the cut-off value of the PAR. All-cause mortality, major CV events, and end-stage renal disease were the primary combined endpoints. Secondary endpoints, such as CV or renal endpoints, were also analyzed separately. Results: The patients' mean age was 43.7 ± 13.5 years, and the follow-up time was 124 ± 67 months. The K-M curve showed that the PLR, PAR, and PLT were strongly associated with primary combined (p = 0.002, p = 0.004, p = 0.001) and renal outcomes (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001), but not with CV outcomes in IgAN. However, when combined with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) or metabolic syndrome (MetS), the PAR was found to be a significant predictor of both primary (p < 0.001, p < 0.001) and secondary outcomes (p = 0.001 and p = 0.038; p = 0.001 and p = 0.015). Additionally, the PLR correlated with albuminuria (r = -0.165, p = 0.033) and LVH (r = -0.178, p = 0.025), while PLT correlated with eGFR (r = 0.158, p = 0.040). Conclusions. Elevated PARs and PLRs may predict progression to end-stage kidney disease, but in combination with LVH and MetS, they were related to CV events in IgAN. The determination of PARs and PLRs can be useful and cost-effective parameters for assessing both cardiovascular and renal risks in IgAN.

CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:1731.

Abstract
The accurate prediction of the prognosis for critically ill children is crucial, with the Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) and Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) being extensively utilized for this purpose. Albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate levels, which are indicative of inflammation and circulatory status in critically ill children, have not been incorporated into existing scoring systems. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the association between biological markers and the clinical outcomes in children with critical illnesses. PRISM-4 and PIM-3 death probability (DP), albumin, lactate, CRP, and CRP/albumin ratio were recorded upon admission. The accuracy of the indexes in predicting mortality were assessed by calculating the area under the curve (AUC). There were 942 patients included and the 28-day mortality rate was 7.9%. The AUC for PRISM-4, PIM-3, CRP, CRP/albumin ratio, albumin, and lactate were 0.923, 0.896, 0.798, 0.795, 0.751, 0.728, respectively. The findings in the subgroup analysis of septic patients were similar to those found in the overall population. Although CRP, CRP/albumin ratio, albumin, and lactate levels are all linked to mortality in children, CRP and the CRP/albumin ratio have lower predictive values than albumin and lactate. Incorporation of albumin and lactate into scoring systems will improve predictability.

Abstract
To develop a C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR)-based nomogram for predicting the risk of in-hospital death in sepsis patients. Sepsis patients were selected from the MIMIC-IV database. Independent predictors were determined by multiple Cox analysis and then integrated to predict survival. The performance of the model was evaluated using the concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, and calibration curve. The risk stratifications analysis and subgroup analysis of the model in overall survival (OS) were assessed by Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curves. A total of 6414 sepsis patients were included. C-index of the CAR-based model was 0.917 [standard error (SE): 0.112] for the training set and 0.935 (SE: 0.010) for the validation set. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram was 0.881 in the training set and 0.801 in the validation set. And the calibration curve showed that the nomogram performs well in both the training and validation sets. K-M curves indicated that patients with high CAR had significantly higher in-hospital mortality than those with low CAR. The CAR-based model has considerably high accuracy for predicting the OS of sepsis patients.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Early neonatal sepsis is associated with a significant mortality rate despite modern treatment strategies. Our aim was to identify risk factors contributing to the occurrence of death in newborns with early neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study that included newborns with early sepsis who received care in the intensive and semi-intensive care units at the Institute of Neonatology, Belgrade, Serbia. Newborns with early neonatal sepsis who died comprised the case group, whereas those who survived made up the control group. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the septic condition was carried out independently of this study, according to valid hospital protocols and current good practice guidelines. The influence of a large number of variables on the examined dichotomous outcome, as well as the mutual interaction of potential predictor variables, was examined by binary logistic regression. Results: The study included 133 pregnant women and 136 newborns with early neonatal sepsis, of which 51 (37.5%) died, while the remaining 85 newborns (62.5%) survived. Newborns who died had a statistically significantly lower birth weight compared to those who survived (882.8 ± 372.2 g vs. 1660.9 ± 721.1 g, p = 0.000). Additionally, compared to newborns who survived, among the deceased neonates there was a significantly higher proportion of extremely preterm newborns (74.5% vs. 22.4%, p = 0.000). The following risk factors for the occurrence of death in early neonatal sepsis were identified: low birth weight, sepsis caused by gram-negative bacteria, and the use of double-inotropic therapy and erythrocyte transfusion during the first week. Conclusions: Pediatricians should pay special attention to infants with early neonatal sepsis in whom any of the identified risk factors are present in order to prevent a fatal outcome.

The prognostic role of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio and anti-MDA5 antibody-positive in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy: a retrospective study. Sci Rep 2023; 13:3863. [PMID: 36890164 PMCID: PMC9992913 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-30595-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023] Open
Abstract
This cohort study aimed to identify the characteristics and risk factors of adult idiopathic inflammatory myopathy-associated interstitial lung disease (IIM-ILD) and further explore the prognostic factors of IIM-ILD. We extracted data regarding 539 patients with laboratory-confirmed idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) with or without interstitial lung disease (ILD) from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between January 2016 and December 2021. The regression analysis was conducted to identify the possible risk factors for ILD as well as mortality. Of 539 IIM patients, 343 (64.6%) were diagnosed with IIM-ILD. The median (IQR) baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) and ferritin were 4.1371 (2.6994-6.8143), 0.1685 (0.0641-0.5456) and 393.6 (210.6-532.2), respectively. Risk factors associated with IIM-ILD were older age (p = 0.002), arthralgia (p = 0.014), lung infection (p = 0.027), hemoglobin (p = 0.022), high CAR (p = 0.014), anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (anti-ARS) antibody-positive (p < 0.001), and anti-MDA5 antibody-positive (p < 0.001). The IIM-ILD patients whose age at diagnosis of disease ≥ 59.5 (HR = 2.673, 95% CI 1.588-4.499, p < 0.001), NLR ≥ 6.6109 (HR = 2.004, 95% CI 1.193-3.368, p = 0.009), CAR ≥ 0.2506 (HR = 1.864, 95% CI 1.041-3.339, p = 0.036), ferritin ≥ 397.68 (HR = 2.451, 95% CI 1.245-4.827, p = 0.009) and anti-MDA5 antibody-positive (HR = 1.928, 95% CI 1.123-3.309, p = 0.017) had a higher mortality rate. High CAR and anti-MDA5 antibody-positive are more likely to be associated with a high mortality rate of IIM-ILD, which can be used as serum biomarkers, especially the CAR, a simple, objective tool to assess the prognosis of IIM.

Wang Y, Gong Y, Chen D, Xu F, Yang P. C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio Is Associated with Mortality in Patients with Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. World Neurosurg 2023; 173:e234-e240. [PMID: 36796630 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.02.037] [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: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), Glasgow coma scale score, and blood glucose level serve as reference values to evaluate the prognosis of critically ill patients. However, the prognostic significance of the admission serum CAR for patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) has remained unclear. We examined the effect of the admission CAR on the outcomes of patients with moderate to severe TBI. METHODS The clinical data from 163 patients with moderate to severe TBI were collected. Before analysis, the patients' records were anonymized and de-identified. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the risk factors and construct a prognostic model of in-hospital mortality. The predictive value of different models was compared by evaluating the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Of the 163 patients, those who had not survived (nonsurvivors, n = 34) had had a higher CAR than that of the survivors (3.8 vs. 2.6; P < 0.001). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the Glasgow coma scale score (odds ratio [OR], 0.430; P = 0.001), blood glucose (OR, 1.290; P = 0.017), and CAR (OR, 1.609; P = 0.036) were independent risk factors for mortality and were used to construct the prognostic model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the prognostic model was 0.922 (95% confidence interval, 0.875-0.970), higher than that for the CAR (P = 0.0409). We had screened 195 patients for inclusion in the present study and excluded 32 patients. CONCLUSIONS The CAR can serve as an independent risk factor of mortality for patients with moderate to severe TBI. Incorporating CAR into a predictive model could contribute to efficiently predicting the prognosis of adults with moderate to severe TBI.

A predictive model for prognosis in very low birth weight infants with late-onset sepsis. Pediatr Res 2023:10.1038/s41390-023-02480-x. [PMID: 36725910 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-023-02480-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to develop a predictive model to assess the probability of poor prognosis in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) with late-onset sepsis (LOS). METHODS A total of 309 eligible VLBWI with LOS were included in the study. Logistic regression was used to determine prognostic factors for VLBWI with LOS. A nomogram incorporating these factors was created to predict the probability of poor prognosis. Poor prognosis includes death and survival with severe complications. RESULTS In the developmental cohort, the incidence of poor prognosis was 59.5% (147/247). Forward stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that HCO3, albumin (ALB), ionized calcium (iCa), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), gestational age (GA), and birth weight (BW) were independent predictors of poor prognosis in VLBWI with LOS. The predictive model showed good discrimination and calibration. In the developmental cohort, the prediction model had a sensitivity of 83.7%, a specificity of 74.0%, and a C-index of 0.845 (95% confidence interval: 0.795-0.894). CONCLUSION Our study identified independent predictors of poor prognosis in VLBWI with LOS and used them to construct a predictive model. This model can help clinicians to identify high-risk groups with poor prognosis early and provide important clinical reference information. IMPACT This article highlights the development of a predictive model to assess the probability of poor prognosis in very low birth weight infants with late-onset sepsis (LOS). The model constructed in this manuscript was the first model to predict the poor prognosis of VLBWI with LOS. We mean a poor prognosis that includes death and some severe complications that may lead to long-term disability. Clinicians can use the model's scoring results to assess a patient's condition and accurately identify the occurrence of poor prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the systemic immune inflammation index (SII), C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), the monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting disease severity, treatment, and prognosis in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). METHODS This medical record review retrospectively evaluated the clinical and laboratory findings of 191 MIS-C patients followed in the Department of Pediatric Rheumatology at Ankara City Hospital, Turkey. The patients were grouped by disease severity: mild, moderate, and severe. SII, CAR, MLR, and NLR were calculated for each group. RESULTS All patients had fever at the time of admission; 153 (80.1%) had gastrointestinal tract involvement, 74 (38.7%) had rash, 63 (33%) had conjunctivitis, 107 (56%) had cardiac involvement, 32 (15.6%) had renal involvement, and 143 (74.9%) had hematological involvement. According to logistic regression analysis, SII, NLR, MLR, and CAR were found to be predictive indexes for disease severity, need for intensive care, need for inotropes, and anakinra treatment in MIS-C. The cut-off values of ≥1605.3 for SII, ≥9.1 for NLR, and ≥3.9 for CAR increased the risk of severe disease by 3.4, 7.1, and 5.7 times, respectively. CONCLUSION NLR, SII, MLR, and CAR are effective and useful for predicting the severity of MIS-C, the need for intensive care, and the need for anakinra treatment.

Mediators Inflamm 2023; 2023:9077787. [PMID: 37197571 PMCID: PMC10185419 DOI: 10.1155/2023/9077787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Neonatal sepsis is an extremely dangerous and fatal disease among neonates, and its timely diagnosis is critical to treatment. This research is aimed at evaluating the clinical significance of the lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) as an early sepsis indicator in neonates with suspected sepsis. Methods Between January 2016 and December 2021, 1269 neonates suspected of developing sepsis were included in this research. Among them, sepsis was diagnosed in 819 neonates, with 448 severe cases, as per the International Pediatric Sepsis Consensus. Data related to clinical and laboratory tests were obtained via electronic medical records. LCR was calculated as total lymphocyte (109 cells/L)/C-reactive protein (mg/L). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of LCR as an independent indicator for determining sepsis in susceptible sepsis neonates. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted for investigating the diagnostic significance of LCR in sepsis. When suitable, the statistical tool SPSS 24.0 was used for statistical analyses. Results LCR decreased significantly in the control, mild, and severe sepsis groups. Further analyses exhibited that there was a substantially greater incidence of sepsis in neonates in the low-LCR group (LCR ≤ 3.94) as opposed to the higher LCR group (LCR > 3.94) (77.6% vs. 51.4%, p < 0.001). Correlation analysis indicated a substantial negative association of LCR with procalcitonin (r = -0.519, p < 0.001) and hospital stay duration (r = -0.258, p < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis depicted LCR as an independent indicator for identifying sepsis and severe cases of this disease. ROC curve analysis indicated the optimal cutoff value of LCR in identifying sepsis to be 2.10, with 88% sensitivity and 55% specificity. Conclusions LCR has proven to be a potentially strong biomarker capable of identifying sepsis in a timely manner in neonates suspected to have the disease.

Abstract
C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) can be used to assess the prognosis of various diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between CAR on the prognosis of patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). This study included 155 SFTS patients from the Public Health Clinical Center of Dalian from January to December 2021. They were divided into survival and deceased groups based on the clinical prognosis. The independent risk factors for poor prognosis of SFTS patients at an early stage were determined by Cox regression. The efficacy of CAR prediction was assessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. A total of 155 patients were included in this study, with an average age of 61.98± 11.70 years, including 77 males and 65 females. The mortality rate of the patients enrolled in this study was 14.19%. Multivariate Cox regression indicated that CAR (hazard ratio = 2.585, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.405-4.753, p = 0.002) could be an independent predictor for prognosis in SFTS patients at an early stage. CAR had an AUC of 0.781 (95% CI, 0.665-0.898, p = 0.000), a cutoff value of 0.57, a sensitivity of 0.77, and a specificity of 0.80, with better predictive efficacy, compared to neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). High levels of CAR are associated with poor prognosis in SFTS patients, and CAR can be used as an independent predictor for SFTS patients.

C-Reactive Protein-to-Albumin Ratio as an Early Biomarker to Identify Sepsis in Neonates with Pneumonia. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:4711018. [PMID: 35873709 PMCID: PMC9303482 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4711018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives Neonates with pneumonia often also have sepsis, and the identifying sepsis from pneumonia may be a challenge for clinicians. However, there are no available data regarding the clinical value C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) in identifying sepsis in neonates with pneumonia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of CAR in identifying sepsis in neonates with pneumonia. Methods 847 neonates with pneumonia were included in this study, of which 511 neonates were diagnosed with sepsis. Neonates were divided into the sepsis group and the nonsepsis group. All neonates underwent extensive and necessary clinical and laboratory tests. CAR was calculated as serum C-reactive protein (ng/ml)/albumin (mg/ml). All statistical analyses were performed using the statistical package SPSS 24.0, as appropriate. Results Compared with the nonsepsis group, neonates with sepsis have a higher CAR (P < 0.001). Further analysis showed that the prevalence of neonates with sepsis increased significantly from 41.0% in the low CAR group (CAR ≤ 0.024 × 10−3) to 80.0% in the high CAR group (CAR > 0.024 × 10−3) (P < 0.001). Correlation analysis showed that there was a strong positive correlation between CAR and PCT (r = 0.452, P < 0.001), nSOFA (r = 0.267, P < 0.001), and the prolonged length of hospital stay (r = 0.311, P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression showed that CAR was an independent risk factor for the presence of sepsis in neonates with pneumonia. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that CAR had adequate discriminatory power in predicting sepsis in neonates with pneumonia (area under curve (AUC) = 0.76, 95% CI 0.73-0.79, P < 0.001). Conclusions CAR can be used as a new marker to identify sepsis in neonates with pneumonia.

Abstract
Background Chronic inflammation is related to the development of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Emerging studies have reported that platelet-related parameters including platelet (PLT), platelet-to-albumin ratio (PAR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are proved to be novel prognostic indicators for several inflammatory diseases. Whether platelet-related parameters could serve as predictors for IgAN remains unknown. Methods A total of 966 IgAN patients were enrolled in this retrospective study and were divided into several groups based on the optimal cut-off value of the platelet-related parameters. End-stage renal disease was used as the renal endpoint. A 1:2 propensity score (PS) match was then carried out to eliminate significant differences at baseline. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), Kaplan–Meier (K-M) curve, and Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed to evaluate their predictive effect. Results Without considering the effect of covariates, the K-M curve showed that PLT, PLR, and PAR were strongly correlated with the renal outcomes of IgAN. However, the AUROC revealed that the PAR and PLR had better predictive power than the PLT. Multivariate Cox regression adjusting for demographic data, pathological findings, treatment, and laboratory results indicated that compared with PLR, albumin and PLT, PAR seemed to be a better marker of adverse renal outcome, implying that PAR was the only platelet-related parameter that could be used as an independent risk factor. Notably, high PAR patients seemed to have more severe clinical manifestations and pathological lesions. However, after eliminating the influence of different baselines on outcome variables, the PAR could still predict the poor prognosis of IgAN. To more accurately evaluate the predictive power of the PAR, we analyzed the predictive effect of the PAR on patients with different clinicopathological characteristics through subgroup analysis. It was indicated that the PAR might better predict the prognosis and outcome of patients whose disease was already very severe. Conclusion PAR might be used as an independent risk factor for IgAN progression.

Abstract
Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease with the high case-fatality rate, lacking effective therapies and vaccines. Inflammation-based indexes have been widely used to predict the prognosis of patients with cancers and some inflammatory diseases. In our study, we aim to explore the predictive value of the inflammation-based indexes in SFTS patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 82 patients diagnosed with SFTS. The inflammation-based indexes, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI) and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR), were compared between the survival and death patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to compare the predictive ability of MLR, AISI, and CAR. The survival analysis was based on the Kaplan–Meier (KM) method. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of poor prognosis in patients with SFTS. Results The CAR is higher in the death group while MLR and AISI were higher in the survival group. The ROC curve analysis indicated CAR exhibited more predictive value than the other indexes and the optimal cut-off value of CAR was equal to or greater than 0.14. KM survival curve showed that higher CAR was significantly correlated to the lower overall survival in SFTS patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that CAR was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with SFTS. Conclusion The CAR is an independent risk factor for death in patients with SFTS and could predict the poor prognosis of SFTS patients. It could be used as a biomarker to help physicians to monitor and treat patients more aggressively to improve clinical prognosis.

[PMID: 34992413 PMCID: PMC8710072 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s343992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a common indicator of nutritional and inflammatory status and is associated with various diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and infectious diseases. However, to date, no study has concentrated on the role of PNI in assessing and predicting the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the association of the PNI with the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods A total of 1196 neonates with suspected sepsis were enrolled in this study and their complete clinical and laboratory data were collected. PNI was calculated as serum albumin (g/L) + 5 × total lymphocyte count (109/L). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of PNI. All statistical analyses were performed using the statistical package SPSS 24.0. Results PNI was lower in neonates with sepsis and decreased significantly with the severity of sepsis. The correlation analysis demonstrated that the PNI was negatively correlated with the levels of the inflammatory marker procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and the length of hospital stay. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the PNI was independently and inversely associated with the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis. The area under the ROC curve of the PNI was 0.64 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.61–0.67, P < 0.001) for severe sepsis and 0.69 (95% CI: 0.60–0.78, P < 0.001) for septic shock. In addition, our data revealed that PNI was also independently correlated with the length of hospital stay. Conclusion PNI is an independent predictor for the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is strongly associated with sepsis. However, no data are currently available regarding the association of BUN levels and neonatal sepsis. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the role of BUN in predicting the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis. METHODS In this study, we enrolled 925 neonates. Among them, 737 neonates were diagnosed with sepsis, including 426 neonates with severe sepsis. Neonates with hyperbilirubinemia (n = 188) served as controls. We collected complete clinical and laboratory data were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the potential independent risk factor for neonatal sepsis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the prediction accuracy of BUN in predicting neonatal sepsis. All statistical analyses were performed using the statistical package SPSS 24.0. RESULTS Neonates with sepsis and severe sepsis had a higher level of BUN. The prevalence of neonates with severe sepsis was dramatically increased according to BUN tertiles. Correlation analysis showed that BUN levels were positively correlated with the levels of infection marker procalcitonin (PCT) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that BUN was an independent risk factor for the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis. ROC curve analysis showed that BUN had a well discriminatory power in predicting sepsis (area under curve (AUC) = 0.69, 95% CI, 0.66-0.74, p < .001) and severe sepsis (AUC = 0.72, 95% CI, 0.67-0.78, p < .001). CONCLUSION Higher BUN level is independently linked with the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis.

Abstract
This study investigated whether C-reactive protein (CRP) can be used as a marker for the early detection and monitoring of malaria severity. Potentially relevant studies were searched in Medline (PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science. Differences in CRP between (1) severe malaria and uncomplicated malaria, (2) uncomplicated malaria and asymptomatic malaria, (3) uncomplicated malaria and febrile/healthy controls, and (4) asymptomatic malaria and febrile/healthy controls were estimated using random-effects models. Twenty-nine studies were included for meta-analysis. The results of meta-analysis demonstrated higher mean CRP levels in (1) patients with severe malaria compared with uncomplicated malaria (p < 0.001, standard mean difference [SMD]: 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.91-2.12, I2: 95.1%), (2) patients with uncomplicated malaria than in those with asymptomatic malaria (p: 0.001, SMD: 1.65, 95% CI: 0.67-2.62, I2: 96.7%), (3) patients with uncomplicated malaria compared with febrile/healthy controls (p < 0.001, SMD: 2.38, 95% CI: 1.37-3.40, I2: 98.5%), and (4) patients with asymptomatic malaria compared with febrile/healthy controls (p < 0.001, SMD: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.60-3.50, I2: 99.2%). This study demonstrated CRP levels are a biomarker for the early detection and monitoring of malaria severity.

J Inflamm Res 2021; 14:5647-5652. [PMID: 34744448 PMCID: PMC8565980 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s335727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of the platelet-to-albumin ratio (PAR) on the risk of death in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome. Methods Between Jan 2019 and June 2021, 127 cases which were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University have been included in this study. The laboratory data were selected at the time of admission. To identify the potential independent risk factors for severe fever associated with thrombocytopenia syndrome, multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the prediction accuracy of PAR in identifying patients exhibiting severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome. Results Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that PAR could potentially serve as an independent risk factor for the death in patients with SFTS (OR = 4.023, 95% CI 1.204–13.436, P=0.024). The prediction of the risk of death in patients with SFTS was assessed using the AUC. The AUC for the PAR was 0.729 (95% CI, 0.637–0.82, P < 0.001), whereas the optimal cut-off value of PAR was found to be 1.43, with 54.9% sensitivity and 86.1% specificity. Conclusion Our study demonstrated for the first time that PAR could act as an independent predictor for mortality in adult patients with SFTS.

Abstract
Purpose C-reactive protein (CRP) level and platelet (PLT) count have been demonstrated to be independent risk factor for neonatal sepsis. However, no data is currently available in regarding the association between CRP-to-PLT ratio (CPR) and neonatal sepsis. Methods A total of 1048 neonates with suspected sepsis were enrolled in this study. Complete clinical and laboratory data were collected. CPR was calculated as CRP (mg/L)/PLT (107 cells/L). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the potential independent risk factors of neonatal sepsis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the prediction accuracy of CPR in predicting neonatal sepsis. Results Neonates with sepsis had a higher CPR. CPR also showed a gradual increase in the infection, mild sepsis and severe sepsis groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that CPR was a significant independent predictor of the presence of neonatal sepsis (odds ratio [OR], 1.015; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.008-1.022, P < 0.001) and severe sepsis (OR, 1.002; 95% CI, 1.000-1.003, P = 0.007). ROC curve revealed showed that CPR had a well-discriminatory power in predicting sepsis (area under curve [AUC], 0.68; 95% CI, 0.65-0.72, P < 0.001) and severe sepsis (AUC, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.65-0.72, P < 0.001). Conclusion The present study demonstrated that a higher CPR is an independent predictor of the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis.
