Abstract
The relationship between the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI) and the Fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) has not been extensively investigated. The objective of this study was to determine the independent relationship between FAR and SIRI in people with osteoporotic fractures (OPF). A cross-sectional study was conducted using retrospective data from 3431 hospitalized OPF patients. The exposure variable in this study was the baseline FAR, while the outcome variable was the SIRI. Covariates, including age, gender, BMI, and other clinical and laboratory factors, were adjusted. Cross-correlation analysis and linear regression models were applied. The generalized additive model (GAM) investigated non-linear relationships. Adjusted analysis revealed an independent negative association between FAR and SIRI in OPF patients (β = - 0.114, p = 0.00064, 95% CI - 0.180, - 0.049). A substantial U-shaped association between FAR and SIRI was shown using GAM analysis (p < 0.001). FAR and SIRI indicated a negative association for FAR below 6.344% and a positive correlation for FAR over 6.344%. The results of our study revealed a U-shaped relationship between SIRI and FAR. The lowest conceivable FAR for a bone-loose inflammatory disease might be 6.344%, suggesting that this has particular significance for the medical diagnosis and therapy of persons with OPF. Consequently, the term "inflammatory trough" is proposed. These results offer fresh perspectives on controlling inflammation in individuals with OPF and preventing inflammatory osteoporosis.

Abstract
Purpose Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a recognized independent risk factor for both chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) and its complication, acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients with DM and prediabetes (preDM) face an increased ACS risk. Inflammation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of both CCS and ACS. This study delves into novel inflammatory markers, such as the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI, also known as SIIRI or PIV), to explore their relationship with ACS and CCS in patients that have been or have not been diagnosed with DM or preDM. Patients and Methods This study included data of 493 patients with chest pain undergoing coronary angiography. They were categorized into four groups: 1) without DM/preDM and with CCS; 2) with both DM/preDM and CCS; 3) without DM/preDM and with ACS, 4) with both DM/preDM and ACS. Standard methods of statistical analysis were used to reveal possible differences between groups and to find the most influential ACS risk factors in groups with DM/preDM and without DM/preDM. Results The analysis showed no significant differences in SII, SIRI, or AISI between the respective patient groups. A logistic regression analysis generated a model incorporating SII, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein levels as the influential ACS risk factors for patients with DM/preDM. The model demonstrated 71.0% accuracy, 37.0% sensitivity, and 89.4% specificity. Conclusion The findings suggest that the aforementioned inflammatory markers may have potential for distinguishing DM/preDM patients at higher risk of ACS at a low financial cost. However, further comprehensive and well-designed research is required to validate their clinical utility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association between quantitative coronary flow reserve (CFR) and the blood uric acid/albumin ratio, as well as multiple clinical parameters, in order to assess the severity of coronary artery functional stenosis. METHODS This retrospective cross-sectional study included 257 suspected coronary artery disease patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) and quantitative flow ratio (QFR) examinations in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Yangtze University in Jingzhou City, China, between September 2022 and March 2023. The study subjects were divided into two groups based on their QFR values: QFR ≤ 0.80 group and QFR > 0.80 group. Correlation of uric acid-to-albumin ratio (UAR), high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), and Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI) with coronary artery QFR was analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models, considering them as both continuous and binary variables. RESULTS The QFR ≤ 0.80 group consisted of 83 patients, while the QFR > 0.80 group included 174 patients. Significant differences were observed between the QFR ≤ 0.80 and QFR > 0.80 groups in the following parameters: UAR (9.19 ± 2.47 vs 7.61 ± 1.91; p < 0.001), MHR (0.46 ± 0.19 vs 0.37 ± 0.16, p < 0.001), SII (674.98 ± 332.30 vs 571.43 ± 255.82; p = 0.006), SIRI (1.53 ± 0.83 vs 1.29 ± 1.10; p = 0.047), and AISI (340.22 ± 242.10 vs 243.97 ± 151.97; p < 0.001). ROC curve analysis revealed an area under the curve of 0.701 (CI: 0.633-0.770; p < 0.001) for UAR. In the univariate analysis, when treated as binary variables, high levels of UAR, MHR, SII, SIRI, and AISI were found to be significantly associated with the risk of QFR ≤ 0.80 (all P < 0.05). However, in the multivariate regression analysis, only high levels of UAR and AISI remained significantly associated with QFR ≤ 0.80 (all P < 0.05). When treated as continuous variables, the univariate analysis indicated that UAR (OR: 1.412, CI: 1.231-1.620, p < 0.001), e^MHR (OR: 1.394, CI: 1.151-1.687, p < 0.001), lnSII (OR: 1.001, CI: 1.000-1.002, p = 0.008), and lnAISI (OR: 2.695, CI: 1.539-4.719, p = 0.001) were significantly associated with QFR ≤ 0.80. In the multivariate analysis, UAR (OR: 1.373, CI: 1.187-1.587, p < 0.001) and AISI (OR: 2.217, CI: 1.309-3.757, p < 0.001) remained significantly associated with QFR ≤ 0.80. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate a significant association between UAR and AISI with QFR ≤ 0.80, suggesting its potential role in predicting the extent of functional coronary artery stenosis in patients with CAD. Additionally, AIRI, identified as an inflammatory marker in the complete blood count, was found to exert influence on the severity of coronary artery physiology.

Abstract
The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) have previously demonstrated predictive value in coronary artery disease (CAD). We developed on an expanded, novel systemic immune-inflammation response index (SIIRI), calculated as peripheral neutrophil × monocyte × platelet ÷ lymphocyte count. We assessed 240 patients with an acute coronary syndrome that subsequently underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. CAD severity was measured using the SYNTAX score. Laboratory measurements, including cell counts, were obtained on admission. On multivariate analysis, the SIIRI was an independent predictor of severe CAD with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.666 [1.376-2.017] per 105-unit increase. The SIIRI had the highest area under the receiver operator curve of .771 [.709-.833] compared to the SII, SIRI neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio. The optimal cut-off for SIIRI was 4.3 × 105, with sensitivity = 69.9% and specificity = 75.8%. Increment in model performance resulting from adding SIIRI versus other inflammatory indices was assessed using discrimination, calibration, and goodness-of-fit measures. When added to a baseline model, the SIIRI resulted in a significant increase in the c-statistic and significant net reclassification index (.808, P < .0001) and integrated discrimination index (.129, P < .0001), and a decrease in Akaike and Bayesian information criteria.

Abstract
Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most severe manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). There are increased studies examining the role of different markers that would facilitate diagnosis, LN activity monitoring, relapse occurrence, and the right time to introduce maintenance therapy. We aimed to examine the importance of determining the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immuneinflammatory index (SII) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) in LN, comparing their significance with other standard parameters of active disease. Methods The clinical examination included 66 patients (34 with active and 32 with LN in remission) and 23 healthy controls. The investigated parameters were CRP, CBC, creatinine, albumin, GFR, C3, C4, ANA, anti-ds DNA Ab, in urine: sediment analysis, SLEDAI/r, proteinuria 24h and Up/cre. We determined the derived markers: NLR, PLR, SIRI, and SII and their correlation with other parameters of active disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previously, not six systemic inflammatory indices were evaluated in the diagnosis of early onset sepsis (EOS) in very low birth weight (VLBW, <1500g) premature infants. OBJECTIVES We evaluated the effectiveness of systemic inflammatory indices in the diagnosis of EOS in VLBW infants. METHODS Premature infants with birth weight <1500 g were included in the study. Six systemic inflammatory indices including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) were compared in patients with EOS (treatment group) and without EOS (control group). RESULTS Of 917 infants enrolled, 204 infants were in the EOS group and 713 infants comprised the control group. NLR, MLR and SIRI values were significantly higher in the EOS group than in the control group (p < 0.001). The AUC value of SIRI for the predictivity of EOS was 0.803. CONCLUSIONS The SIRI can be used together with other parameters as both an easily accessible and the reliable systemic inflammatory indices in the diagnosis of EOS in VLBW preterm infants.

Abstract
Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) at low residual inflammatory risk are often overlooked in research and practice. This study examined the associations between fourteen inflammatory indicators and all-cause mortality in 5,339 CAD patients with baseline high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) <2 mg/L who received percutaneous coronary intervention and statin and aspirin therapy. The median follow-up time was 2.1 years. Neutrophil-derived systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) yielded the strongest and most robust association with all-cause mortality among all indicators. Lower hsCRP remained to be associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. A newly developed comprehensive inflammation score (CIS) showed better predictive performance than other indicators, which was validated by an independent external cohort. In conclusion, neutrophil-derived indicators, particularly SIRI, strongly predicted all-cause mortality independent of hsCRP in CAD patients at low residual inflammatory risk. CIS may help identify individuals with inflammation burdens that cannot be explained by hsCRP alone.

Abstract
Background and Aim Psoriasis is a persistent inflammatory disorder that affects 3% of the population and is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the correlations between complete blood cell count (CBC)-derived inflammatory biomarkers, psoriasis prevalence, and all-cause mortality. Methods Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2003-2006 and 2009-2014. Mortality data up to December 31, 2019 were obtained using the National Death Index. The following CBC-derived inflammatory biomarkers were examined: neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), neutrophil/(white blood cells - neutrophils) ratio (dNLR), monocyte count/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), (neutrophil + monocyte)/lymphocyte ratio (NMLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI). Weighted logistic and Cox regression analyses were used to calculate odds ratios, hazard ratios, and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Additionally, the prognostic value of the inflammatory indicators was assessed and ranked using the random survival forest approach. Results In total, data from 21,431 participants with average age of 45.02 ± 0.27 years (49.51% male) were included in the study, among which 600 participants were positive for psoriasis (prevalence rate, 2.80%). Additionally, 79 all-cause deaths were recorded during a median follow-up period of 8.83 (6.67-11.00) years. Moreover, NLR, dNLR, NMLR, PLR, and SIRI were positively associated with the prevalence of psoriasis. Furthermore, MLR, NMLR, and SIRI were positively correlated with all-cause mortality in patients with psoriasis, with NMLR being the most valuable predictor of all-cause mortality. Conclusion CBC-derived inflammatory biomarkers were associated with psoriasis prevalence, NMLR, SIRI, and MLR values were associated with all-cause mortality in patients with psoriasis. Overall, assessment of these CBC-derived indicators may serve as a simple method for screening high-risk individuals among patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
Background Recently, the systemic immune inflammatory response index (SIIRI), a novel and expanded inflammatory response marker, has been an independent predictor of lesion severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, its predictive role in patients with initially diagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be explored. Patients and Methods We evaluated 959 patients with CAD undergoing an initial coronary intervention. Each patient had laboratory measurements, including blood cell counts, taken after admission and before interventional treatment. The primary endpoint was major cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction(MI), and nonfatal stroke. The secondary endpoints included MACEs and readmission for congestive heart failure(HF). Results During a mean follow-up period of 33.3±9.9 months, 229 (23.9%) MACEs were recorded. ROC curve analysis displayed that the best cut-off value of SIIRI for predicting MACEs was 247.17*1018/L2. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the survival rate of the low SIIRI group was higher than that of the high SIIRI group (P<0.001). Compared with the low SIIRI group, the high SIIRI group had a significantly higher risk of MACEs (187 cases (39.53%) vs.42 patients (8.64%), P<0.001). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses displayed that high SIIRI levels were independently associated with the occurrence of MACEs in patients with initially diagnosed CAD undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 3.808, 95% confidence interval [CI%]: 2.643-5.486, P<0.001). Adding SIIRI to conventional risk factor models improved the predictive value of MACEs. Conclusion Elevated SIIRI is associated with adverse cardiovascular prognosis in patients with initially diagnosed CAD. SIIRI can be a simple and practical index to identify high-risk patients with CAD after PCI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prognosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) survivors is concerning. The goal of this study was to investigate and demonstrate the relationship between the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR) and long-term mortality of aSAH survivors. METHODS A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted at Sichuan University West China Hospital between January 2009 and June 2019. The investigation of relationship between NAR and long-term mortality was conducted using univariable and multivariable Cox regression models. To demonstrate the predictive performance of different biomarkers over time, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA) were created. RESULTS In total, 3173 aSAH patients were included in this study. There was a strong and continuous relationship between NAR levels and long-term mortality (HR 3.23 95% CI 2.75-3.79, p < 0.001). After adjustment, the result was still significant (adjusted HR 1.78 95% CI 1.49-2.12). Compared with patients with the lowest quartile (< 0.15) of NAR levels, the risk of long-term mortality in the other groups was higher (0.15-0.20: adjusted HR 1.30 95% CI 0.97-1.73; 0.20-0.28: adjusted HR 1.37 95% CI 1.03-1.82; >0.28: adjusted HR 1.74 95% CI 1.30-2.32). Results in survivors were found to be still robust. Moreover, out of all the inflammatory markers studied, NAR demonstrated the highest correlation with long-term mortality. CONCLUSIONS A high level of NAR was associated with increased long-term mortality among patients with aSAH. NAR was a promising inflammatory marker for long-term mortality of aSAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our study examined the association between the initial systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and respiratory failure in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). METHODS The weighted linear regression model, weighted chi-square test, logistic regression models, smooth curve fittings, and the two-piece linear regression model were utilized for data analysis. RESULTS Among the 443 GBS patients, 75 (6.9%) had experienced respiratory failure. According to logistic regression models, there existed no consistent linear relationship between respiratory failure and SIRI in model 1 (OR = 1.2, p < 0.001), model 2 (OR = 1.2, p < 0.001), and model 3 (OR = 1.3, p = 0.017). However, smooth curve fittings found an S-like curve relationship between SIRI and respiratory failure. Furthermore, when SIRI was < 6.4, there existed a positive correlation between SIRI and respiratory failure in model 1 (OR = 1.5, 95% CI = (1.3, 1.8), p < 0.0001), higher correlation in model 2 (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = (1.3, 1.8), p < 0.0001), and highest correlation in model 3 (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = (1.3, 2.5), p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS SIRI can be used as a predictor of respiratory failure in GBS, and an S-like relationship exists between SIRI and respiratory failure at an infliction point of 6.4. When the SIRI was less than 6.4 and increased, SIRI was associated with a higher occurrence of respiratory failure. The risk of respiratory failure was no longer increased when the SIRI was over 6.4.

Abstract
Background Systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) are combinations of non-specific inflammatory and adaptive immune response impairments associated with cardiovascular disease. Yet little analysis has been done on SII, SIRI and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) prognosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of SII and SIRI with clinical risk factors such as GRACE, Gensini, and QTc after acute myocardial infarction. Methods This study enrolled 310 patients with AMI from February 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022, at our institution. Routine blood items calculated SII and SIRI. Two groups were divided according to whether MACE occurred: the MACE group (81 cases) and the NMACE group (229 cases); each group was divided into three groups according to the SII and SIRI tertiles. The relationship between SII, SIRI and MACE was analyzed using multifactorial logistic regression analysis after adjusting for confounders; ROC curves were plotted to examine the predictive value of SII and SIRI for MACE. The correlation between SII and SIRI and potential risk factors such as Gensini, QTc and GRACE was further analyzed. Results The study enrolled 310 patients, comprising 248 men (80%, mean age 60.73 ± 13.695 years) and 62 women (20%, mean age 69.79 ± 11.555 years). In the regression model completely adjusted for confounders, the risk of MACE was higher in AMI patients with SII > 11.00 [OR = 1.061,95% CI (1.018,1.105)] than in SII < 5.98; the risk of MACE was 115.3% higher in AMI patients with SIRI (1.72-3.68) [OR = 2.153, 95% CI (1.251, 3.705)] was 115.3% higher in AMI patients with SIRI < 1.72 and the risk of MACE was 25.1% higher in AMI patients with SIRI > 3.68 [OR = 1.251, 95% CI (1.123, 1.394)] than in AMI patients with SIRI < 1.72. In addition, SII, SIRI, and potential post-infarction risk factors (Gensini, QTc, and GRACE) were also associated. Conclusion SII and SIRI have been significantly associated with post-myocardial infarction MACE and the predictive potential clinically integrated risk factors in AMI patients, for which more attention should be paid to targeted anti-inflammatory therapy in AMI patients to further reduce the incidence of prognostic MACE in AMI patients.

Abstract
This study evaluated the association and prognostic significance of the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) with mortality in sepsis. In this cohort study, the sepsis patients were retrieved from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) and MIMIC-IV intensive care unit (ICU) databases. SIRI was calculated by using the neutrophil, monocyte, and lymphocyte counts. The outcomes were 28-day mortality, 1-year mortality, and 28 days to 1-year mortality. The Cox proportional hazards model with a hazard ratio (HR) and a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to investigate the association and prognostic value of SIRI with mortality in sepsis. Subgroup analyses of the associations of SIRI with 28-day and 1-year mortality in sepsis were based on age, gender, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPSII), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), and presence or absence of septic shock. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the predictive performances of SIRI, SOFA and SAPS II for mortality in sepsis. Of the 4239 patients included, 1339 patients suffered from 28-day mortality, 2085 patients suffering from 1-year mortality, and 746 (25.72%) suffered from 28 days to 1-year mortality. High SIRI levels exhibited higher risks of 28-day mortality (HR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03-1.29, P = .010), 1-year mortality (HR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.04-1.24, P = .003), and 28 days to 1-year mortality (HR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.01-1.35, P = .047) in sepsis. A higher SIRI was reported related to 28-day mortality and 1-year mortality in sepsis patients with female gender, with SOFA < 8, with SAPS II < 44, and in sepsis patients without sepsis shock. The AUC of SIRS, SOFA, and SAPS II in predicting 28-day mortality in sepsis were 0.726, 0.591, and 0.644, respectively. The AUC of SIRI in predicting 1-year mortality in sepsis was 0.761, higher than the AUC values of SOFA and SAPS II. A higher AUC value of SIRI compared with SOFA, and SAPS II in predicting 28 days to 1-year mortality was observed. Elevated SIRI was associated with an increased risk of mortality in sepsis. SIRI is an independent prognostic biomarker of mortality in sepsis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In our study, we aimed to investigate whether systemic inflammatory indices could be an indicator of mortality in very low birth weight (<1,500 g) preterm infants. METHODS Very low birth weight preterm infants were included in our study, and patient data were recorded retrospectively. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, systemic immune-inflammation index, pan-immune-inflammation value, and systemic inflammation response index were calculated and recorded. The survivors and infants who died were compared for systemic inflammatory indices. RESULTS A total of 1,243 very low birth weight infants were included in the study. Of the patients, 1,034 survived and 209 died. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, pan-immune-inflammation value, systemic immune-inflammation index, and systemic inflammation response index were found to be statistically significantly lower in the mortality group than those in the survivor group (p=0.039, p=0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, and p=0.002, respectively). According to the receiver operating curve analysis, systemic immune-inflammation index with the highest area under the curve (0.844) was found to be the most effective systemic inflammatory indices in predicting mortality with a cutoff level of ≤28.87 (p=0.0001). Multiple regression analysis showed that a lower level of systemic immune-inflammation index (≤28.87) was independently associated with mortality (OR: 1.677, 95%CI 1.061-2.685, p=0.001). CONCLUSION We have shown that low systemic immune-inflammation index value in very low birth weight preterm infants may be a novel systemic inflammatory index that can be used to predict mortality.

Abstract
Purpose Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the primary cause of mortality in developing countries. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) offers more upside in revascularization by preventing cardiopulmonary bypass trauma and minimizing aortic manipulation. Even though cardiopulmonary bypass is not involved, OPCAB still causes a significant systemic inflammatory response. This study determines the prognostic values of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) towards perioperative outcomes in patients who underwent OPCAB surgery. Patients and methods This was a single-center retrospective study at the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita, Jakarta, using secondary data from electronic medical records and medical record archives of all patients who underwent OPCAB from January 2019 through December 2021. A total of 418 medical records were obtained, and 47 patients were excluded based on the exclusion criteria. The values of SII were calculated from preoperative laboratory data of segmental neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and platelet count. Patients were divided into two groups based on the SII cutoff value of 878.056 x 103/mm3. Results The baseline SII values of 371 patients were calculated, among which 63 (17%) patients had preoperative SII values of ≥878.057 x 103/mm3. High SII values were a significant predictor of prolonged ventilation (RR 1.141, 95% CI 1.001-1.301) and prolonged ICU stay (RR 1.218, 95% CI 1.021-1.452) after OPCAB surgery. A positive correlation was observed between SII and hospital length of stay after OPCAB surgery. From the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, SII predicted prolonged ventilation duration, with an area under the curve of 0.658 (95% CI 0.575-0.741, p = 0.001). Conclusion High preoperative SII values are capable of predicting prolonged mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit stay after OPCAB surgery.

Abstract
Purpose The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an extensively analyzed prognostic inflammatory index in cardiac patients. The degree of change in NLR values before and after surgery (delta-NLR) can represent the inflammatory response induced by surgery and serve as a meaningful prognostic biomarker in surgical patients; however, this has not been well investigated. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of the perioperative NLR and delta-NLR for outcomes of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery by evaluating "days alive and out of hospital (DAOH)", a novel patient-centered outcome. Patients and Methods In this single-center retrospective study, perioperative data, including NLR data, from 1322 patients were analyzed. The primary endpoint was DOAH at 90 days postoperatively (DAOH 90), and the secondary endpoint was long-term mortality. Linear regression analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed to identify independent risk factors for the endpoints. In addition, Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to assess long-term mortality. Results The median NLR values significantly increased from 2.2 (1.6-3.1) at baseline to 7.4 (5.4-10.3) postoperatively, with median delta-NLR values of 5.0 (3.2-7.6). Preoperative NLR and delta-NLR were independent risk factors for short DAOH 90 in the linear regression analysis. In Cox regression analysis, delta-NLR, but not preoperative NLR, was an independent risk factor for long-term mortality. When patients were divided into two groups according to delta-NLR, the high delta-NLR group had a shorter DAOH 90 than the low delta-NLR group. Kaplan-Meier curves showed higher long-term mortality in the high delta-NLR group than in the low delta-NLR group. Conclusion In OPCAB patients, preoperative NLR and delta-NLR were significantly associated with DAOH 90, and delta-NLR was an independent risk factor for long-term mortality, indicating their role in risk assessment, which is essential for perioperative management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the immunological status of the population, indicating increased activation. The aim of the study was to compare the degree of inflammatory activation in patients admitted for surgical revascularization in the period before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective analysis included an analysis of inflammatory activation assessed on the basis of whole blood counts in 533 patients (435 (82%) male and 98 (18%) female) with a median age of 66 (61-71) years who underwent surgical revascularization, including 343 and 190 patients operated on in 2018 and 2022, respectively. RESULTS The compared groups were matched by propensity score matching analysis, obtaining 190 patients in each group. Significantly higher values of preoperative monocyte count (p = 0.015), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.004) and systemic inflammatory response index (p = 0.022) were found in the during-COVID subgroup. The perioperative and 12-month mortality rates were comparable, with 1% (n = 4) in 2018 vs. 1% (n = 2) in 2022 (p = 0.911), and 5.6 % (n = 11 patients) vs. 7% (n = 13 patients) (p = 0.413), in the pre-COVID and during-COVID subgroups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Simple whole blood analysis in patients with complex coronary artery disease performed before and during the COVID-19 pandemic indicates excessive inflammatory activation. However, the immune variation did not interfere with one-year mortality rate after surgical revascularization.

Abstract
Background: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are widely accepted indices positively correlated with disease severity, progression, and mortality. In this study, we tested whether NLR and PLR could predict mortality and length of hospital stay (LOS) after cardiac surgery. Methods: NLR and PLR were calculated on days 0, 3, 5, and 7 postoperatively. A ROC curve was generated to assess their prognostic value; multivariate logistic analysis identified independent risk factors for 90-day mortality. Results: Analysis was performed on 179 patients’ data, 11 of whom (6.15%) died within 90 days. The discriminatory performance for predicting 90-day mortality was better for NLR7 (AUC = 0.925, 95% CI:0.865–0.984) with the optimal cut-off point being 7.10. NLR5 and PLR3 also exhibited a significant strong discriminative performance. Similarly, a significant discriminative performance was prominent for PLR3, NLR5, and NLR7 with respect to LOS. Moreover, NLR7 (OR: 2.143, 95% CI: 1.076–4.267, p = 0.030) and ICU LOS (OR:1.361, 95% CI: 1.045–1.774, p = 0.022) were significant independent risk factors for 90-day mortality. Conclusions: NLR and PLR are efficient predictive factors for 90-day mortality and LOS in cardiac surgery patients. Owing to the simplicity of determining NLR and PLR, their postoperative monitoring may offer a reliable predictor of patients’ outcomes in terms of LOS and mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate perioperative complications of radical cystectomy (RC) by using standardized methodology. Additionally, we identified independent risk factors associated with perioperative complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 30-day and 90-day perioperative complications of 211 consecutive RC patients. The intraoperative and postoperative complications were defined according to Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) and reported based on the ICARUS criteria, Martin, and EAU quality criteria. Age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) were also evaluated. Multivariable regression models according to severe (CDC ≥ IIIb grade) complications were tested. RESULTS Overall, 88.6% (187/211) patients experienced at least one intraoperative complication. Bleeding during cystectomy was the most common complication observed (81.5% [172/211]). Severe intraoperative complications (EAUiaiC grade > 2) were recorded in 8 patients. Overall, 521 postoperative complications were recorded. Overall, 69.6% of the patients experienced complications. Thirty-nine patients suffered from most severe (CDC ≥ IIIb grade) complications. ACCI (OR: 1.492 [1.144-1.947], p = 0.003), SIRI (OR: 1.279 [1.029-1.575], p = 0.031), BMI (OR: 3.62 [1.58-8.29], p = 0.002), and NAC (OR: 0.342 [0.133-0.880], p = 0.025) were significant independent predictive factors for 90-day most severe complications (CDC ≥ IIIb grade). CONCLUSIONS RC complications were reported within a standardized manner, concordant with the ICARUS and Martin criteria and EAU guideline recommendations. Complication reporting seems to be improved with the use of standard methodology. Our results showed that ACCI, SIRI, and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and the absence of NAC were significant predictive factors for most severe complications.

Abstract
OBJECT Recent evidence has suggested that systemic inflammatory and immune index (SIRI) and systematic inflammation index (SII) could predict prognosis in stroke patients. This study aimed to determine the effects of SIRI and SII on predicting in-hospital infections and unfavorable outcomes in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS We used the data from a prospective and registry-based study recruiting ICH patients between January 2014 and September 2016 in a single comprehensive stroke center. All patients were stratified by quartiles of SIRI or SII. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the associations with follow-up prognosis. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were performed to examine the predictive utility of these indexes for infections and prognosis. RESULTS Six hundred and forty spontaneous ICH patients were enrolled in this study. Compared with the lowest quartile (Q1), SIRI or SII values both showed positive correlations with increased risks for poor 1-month outcomes (adjusted ORs in Q4 was 2.162 [95% CI: 1.240-3.772] for SIRI, 1.797 [95% CI: 1.052-3.070] for SII). Additionally, a higher level of SIRI, but not SII, was independently associated with a higher risk of infections and an unfavorable 3-month prognosis. The C-statistic for the combined SIRI and ICH score was higher than SIRI or ICH score alone for predicting in-hospital infections and poor outcomes. CONCLUSION Elevated SIRI values were associated with in-hospital infections and poor functional outcomes. It may provide a new biomarker for ICH prognosis prediction, especially in the acute stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The electrical properties of cells and tissues in relation to energy exposure have been investigated, presenting their resistance and capacitance characteristics. The dielectric response to radiofrequency fields exhibits polarization heterogeneity under pathological conditions. The aim of the study was to analyze the differences in changes in resistance and capacitance measurements in the range from 1 kHz to 1 MHz, combined with an assessment of the correlation between the results of electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and inflammatory activation. METHODS In the prospective study, EIS was performed on the non-dominant arm in 29 male patients (median (Q1-Q3) age of 69 (65-72)) with complex coronary artery disease and 10 male patients (median (Q1-Q3) age of 66 (62-69)) of the control group. Blood samples were collected for inflammatory index analysis. RESULTS The logistic regression analysis revealed a negative correlation with inflammatory indexes, including neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the CAD group in the frequency of 30 kHz (p = 0.038, r = -0.317) regarding EIS resistance measurements and a positive correlation in CAD group in the frequency of 10 kHz (p = 0.029, r = -0.354) regarding EIS capacitance. CONCLUSIONS The bioelectric characteristics of peripheral tissues measured by resistance and capacitance in EIS differ in patients with coronary artery disease and in the control group. Electrical impedance spectroscopy reveals a statistically significant correlation with inflammatory markers in patients with CAD.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the morphological features of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) adipocyte with the circulating inflammatory biomarkers and parameters of extracellular matrix remodeling in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We recruited 42 patients with CAD (m/f 28/14) who were scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). EAT adipocytes were obtained by the enzymatic method from intraoperative adipose tissue samples. Concentrations of secreted and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (sPLA2 and LpPLA2), TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), MMP-2, C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) were measured in blood serum. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1-with mean EAT adipocytes' size ≤ 87.32 μm; group 2-with mean EAT adipocytes' size > 87.32 μm. Patients of group 2 had higher concentrations of triglycerides, hsCRP, TNF-α, and sPLA2 and a lower concentration of CTX-I. A multiple logistic regression model was created (RN2 = 0.43, p = 0.0013). Concentrations of TNF-α, sPLA2 and CTX-I appeared to be independent determinants of the EAT adipocyte hypertrophy. ROC analysis revealed the 78% accuracy, 71% sensitivity, and 85% specificity of the model, AUC = 0.82. According to our results, chronic low-grade inflammation and extracellular matrix remodeling are closely associated with the development of hypertrophy of EAT adipocytes, with serum concentrations of TNF-α, sPLA2 and CTX-I being the key predictors, describing the variability of epicardial adipocytes' size.

Abstract
Objectives Inflammatory response biomarkers are promising prognostic factors to improve the prognosis of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) after ischemic stroke. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of inflammatory response biomarkers on admission in SAP after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) and establish a corresponding nomogram. Methods The data of 378 patients with SICH receiving conservative treatment from January 2019 to December 2021 at Taizhou People's Hospital were selected. All eligible patients were randomized into the training (70%, 265) and validation cohorts (30%, 113). In the training cohort, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to establish an optimal nomogram, including inflammatory response biomarkers and clinical risk factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the nomogram's discrimination, calibration, and performance, respectively. Moreover, this model was further validated in a validation cohort. Results A logistic regression analysis showed that intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), hypertension, dysphagia, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were correlated with SAP after SICH (P < 0.05). The nomogram was composed of all these statistically significant factors. The inflammatory marker-based nomogram showed strong prognostic power compared with the conventional factors, with an AUC of 0.886 (95% CI: 0.841-0.921) and 0.848 (95% CI: 0.799-0.899). The calibration curves demonstrated good homogeneity between the predicted risks and the observed outcomes. In addition, the model has a significant net benefit for SAP, according to DCA. Also, internal validation demonstrated the reliability of the prediction nomogram. The length of hospital stay was shorter in the non-SAP group than in the SAP group. At the 3-month follow-up, clinical outcomes were worse in the SAP group (P < 0.001). Conclusion SIRI and PLR at admission can be utilized as prognostic inflammatory biomarkers in patients with SICH in the upper brain treated with SAP. A nomogram covering SIRI and PLR can more accurately predict SAP in patients' supratentorial SICH. SAP can influence the length of hospital stay and the clinical outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of systemic inflammatory indices in the diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is unknown. The aim of the study was to determine the possible clinical utility of systemic inflammatory indices in the prediction of moderate to severe BPD. METHODS Premature infants<32 weeks of gestational age were included in the study. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) were calculated at birth and at the time of diagnosis of BPD (at 36th weeks of postmenstrual age). The patients were divided into two groups as no or mild BPD and moderate or severe BPD. RESULTS A total of 1146 infants were included in the study, 957 in Group 1 and 189 in Group 2. The SIRI value was significantly higher in moderate or severe BPD both at birth and at the 36th week of postmenstrual age (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The AUC value of SIRI was 0.809 and the cut-off value was>0.98 in the predictivity of BPD at birth. The AUC value of SIRI was 0.842 and the cut-off value was>1.33 for the diagnosis of BPD at 36th week of postmenstrual age. After multiple logistic regression analysis, SIRI was shown to be a significant parameter for the diagnosis of BPD (OR 2.847, 95% CI 1.557-4.875). CONCLUSIONS SIRI may be a useful biomarker for predicting moderate to severe BPD and a marker of clinical importance in the follow-up of infants with BPD.

Abstract
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) allows for functional left and right heart ventricle replacement. MCS induces a systemic inflammatory reaction and prothrombotic state leading to an increased risk of thrombus formation. The extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles released from active/injured cells characterized by prothrombotic properties. Simple inflammatory parameters from whole blood count analysis have established a clinical role in everyday practice to describe immune-inflammatory activation. We hypothesized that increased plasma concentrations of EVs might be associated with the proinflammatory and pro-thrombotic characteristics of left ventricle assist device (LVAD) and right ventricle assist device (RVAD) devices. We presented a pilot study showing the concentration of peripheral blood serum, right and left ventricle mechanical assist device extracellular concentration in relation to thrombotic complication in patients treated with a biventricular pulsatile assist device (BIVAD). The observation was based on 12 replacements of pulsatile pumps during 175 days of observation. The proinflammatory characteristics of LVAD were noted. The proinflammatory and procoagulant activation by RVAD was observed. The results may provide possible explanations for the worse results of right-sided mechanical supports observed in clinical practice.

Abstract
The aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte*platelet ratio (NLRP) are novel indices that simultaneously reflect the inflammatory and immune status. However, the role of these indices in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear. We aimed to elucidate the predictive value of AISI, SIRI, and NLRP in patients with ACS undergoing PCI. A total of 1558 patients with ACS undergoing PCI were consecutively enrolled from January 2016 to December 2018. The AISI, SIRI, NLRP, systemic immune-inflammatory index, derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio cutoff values for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were calculated using receiver-operating characteristic curves, and Spearman's test was used to analyze correlations between these indices. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models were used for survival analyses, and the endpoint was a MACE, which included all-cause mortality and rehospitalization for severe heart failure during the follow-up period. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that higher AISI, SIRI, and NLRP values were associated with a higher risk of MACE (all P < .001). The association between AISI, SIRI, and NLRP and ACS prognosis was stable in various subgroups according to sex, age, smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, history of stroke, and heart failure (P for interaction > .05). Increasing tertiles of AISI, SIRI, and NLRP significantly increased the MACE risk (P for trend < .05). AISI, SIRI, and NLRP may be suitable laboratory markers for identifying high-risk patients with ACS after PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) often have multiple comorbidities, such as anaemia and chronic inflammatory disorders. We sought to investigate the association between preoperative and postoperative haematological parameters and clinical outcomes in TAVI patients at mid-term follow-up. METHODS In the present study, consecutive patients (N=908) who underwent TAVI at the Cleveland Clinic between 2017 and 2019 with available complete blood counts were studied. Data were collected on preoperative and postoperative anaemia and elevations in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Survival analysis was used to study the association of haematologic parameters with all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). RESULTS We found that preoperative anaemia and elevated NLR were significantly associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality (aHR=1.6 (95% CI: 1.1 to 2.0) and 1.4 (95% CI: 1.1 to 1.6), respectively) and MACCE (aHR=1.9 (95% CI: 1.3 to 2.8) and 1.6 (95% CI: 1.1 to 2.4), respectively). While an elevated preoperative PLR was not associated with increased mortality risk, it had a significant association with MACCE risk (aHR: 1.6 (95% CI: 1.1 to 2.4)). Further, postoperative anaemia, elevated NLR and PLR were associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality and MACCE. CONCLUSION Pathological alterations in haematological parameters were associated with higher risks of post-TAVI mortality and MACCE at mid-term follow-up. Our findings advocate for further incorporating haematological parameters in the preoperative evaluation of TAVI candidates.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Severe ischemia occurring in the lower limbs represents the advanced stage of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Atherosclerosis and inflammatory markers have been intensively studied to identify prognostic tools with a role in the evolution of patients with PAD. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the predictive value of systemic inflammatory markers such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the systemic inflammation index (SII) in the prognosis of patients diagnosed with critical leg ischemia (CLI) undergoing infrainguinal surgical revascularization with remote endarterectomy.
Materials and methods: This retrospective study included all patients admitted to the Vascular Surgery Clinic of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital of Târgu Mureș, Romania between January 2018 and December 2021, who had critical limb ischemia Leriche-Fontaine stage III and were treated with endarterectomy. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of patency in the lower limbs at 12 months.
Results: There was a higher baseline value of neutrophil count (p <0.0001), platelet count (p = 0.006), NLR and SII value (p <0.0001), as well as a lower value of lymphocyte count (p = 0.001) in the group without patency at 12 months. The ROC curve analysis showed that the NLR and SII were associated with the risk of major amputation and primary patency failure at 12 months, while multivariate analysis has shown that arterial hypertension (OR 3.63, p = 0.04), history of myocardial infarction (OR 2.93, p = 0.009), diabetes mellitus (OR 2.20; p = 0.04) and smoking (OR 3.48, p <0.0001) were also predictors of primary patency failure.
Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated the predictive role of NLR and SII regarding poor outcomes among patients with CLI Leriche-Fontaine stage III undergoing infrainguinal surgical revascularization with remote endarterectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronary artery disease possess inflammatory background related to enzymatic processes with trace elements involvements as co-factors. The aim of the study was to compare serum, urine and salivary copper, magnesium, calcium and zinc levels with inflammatory indices obtained from the whole blood count in patients with complex coronary artery disease. MATERIAL AND METHOD Fifty-two (42(81 %) males, 10 (19 %) females) consecutive patients (mean (SD) age 68 (9) years with symptomatic complex coronary artery disease were enrolled into prospective single center study in 2021. Serum, saliva and urine samples were collected at the day of admission for trace elements concentration (copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium) and compared with inflammatory indexes obtained from preoperative and perioperative period. RESULTS Multivariable regression analysis revealed relation between the copper serum concentration and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic inflammatory index (SII). CONCLUSION Serum copper concentration interplay with preoperative inflammatory activation in complex coronary disease measured by NLR and SII. The copper serum concentration possesses the strongest relation to preoperative inflammatory activation in patients reffered for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Abstract
Aim
The aim of the instant study is to evaluate the predictability of AISI, NLPR, and SIRI in patients with acute pancreatitis, which predicts more than 7 days of hospitalization, the need for intensive care, and 30-day mortality.
Material and Method
This retrospective observational study was conducted in patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis who applied to the emergency medicine clinic of XXX Hospital between July 15, 2017 and February 15, 2021.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v. 26.0.
Results
The study included 592 patients, 58.3% of which were women. A statistically significant difference was found between high NLPR, and hospital stay longer than 7 days (p = 0.01). No statistically significant correlation was found between AISI and SIRI and the length of hospital stay (p = 0.16, p = 0.19, respectively). There was a statistically significant correlation between high NLPR, and mortality (p = 0.03). No statistically significant correlation was found between AISI, SIRI, and mortality (p = 0.866, p = 0.311, respectively). There was a statistically significant correlation between high NLPR, and hospitalization in the intensive care unit (p = 0.018) No statistically significant relationship was found between AISI, SIRI, and admission to the intensive care unit (p = 0.89, p = 0.6, respectively).
Conclusion
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process that requires serious approach. Hematological parameters are helpful in predicting the prognosis, but there is a need for differently developed hematological indices in managing acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
Purpose Systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) was an independent predictor of the prognosis of many diseases. Inflammatory prognostic index (IPI) was a new inflammatory prognostic marker with certain clinical significance. We aimed to explore the association between SIRI, IPI and early stage severity of stroke as well as 3-month outcome of AIS patients. Patients and Methods A total of 63 AIS patients who treated with alteplase were selected. The patients were divided into mild group and moderate to severe group according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores. According to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score, patients were divided into the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group. Spearman correlation statistically analyzed the correlation between SIRI, IPI and NIHSS score. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyzed the risk factors of 3-month prognosis. ROC curve was adopted to predict the effect of SIRI and IPI levels on poor prognosis in AIS patients. Results Spearman analysis showed that there was positively correlated with NIHSS score and IPI in mild AIS group (r=0.541, P<0.05). Compared with the mild group, SIRI and IPI in the moderate to severe group was significantly higher (P<0.05). The SIRI and IPI in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group (P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SIRI and IPI were independent prognostic factors for the 3-month prognosis of AIS patients (P< 0.05). The ROC curve showed that the areas under the 3-month prognosis curve predicted by SIRI and IPI were 0.685, 0.774 respectively. Conclusion IPI is correlated with stroke severity at admission. SIRI and IPI are independent predictors of short-term prognosis in AIS patients. SIRI and IPI can be a novel the good short-term prognostic biomarker for AIS patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis.

Abstract
Neutrophils play a significant role in immune and inflammatory reactions. The preoperative inflammatory activation may have a detrimental effect on postoperative outcomes. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between preoperative hematological indices on postoperative complications’ risk in pediatric cardiac congenital surgery. The retrospective single center analysis included 93 pediatric patients (48 (65%) males and 45 (35%) females), mean age of 7 (3−30) months referred for cardiac surgery in cardiopulmonary bypass due to functional single ventricle disease (26 procedures), shunts lesions (40 procedures) and cyanotic disease (27 procedures). Among simple hematological indices, the receiver-operating-characteristic curve showed that a neutrophil count below 2.59 K/uL was found as an optimal cut-off point for predicting postoperative atrioventricular block following pediatric cardiac surgery (AUC = 0.845, p < 0.0001) yielding a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 65.62%. Preoperative values of neutrophil count below 2.59 K/uL in whole blood analysis can be regarded as a predictive factor (AUC = 0.845, p < 0.0001) for postoperative atrioventricular block in pediatric cardiac surgery.

Abstract
(1) Background: To assess the clinical significance of preoperative inflammatory biomarkers combined with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score to evaluate carotid artery stenosis in patients with calcium kidney stones; (2) Methods: We conducted a prospective observational case-control study, enrolling 74 patients with calcium kidney stones and 66 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. We calculated the inflammatory biomarkers including the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI). An ultrasound of the carotid arteries was performed on all participants to identify the severity of the stenosis; (3) Results: All inflammatory biomarkers and the severity of carotid artery stenosis were higher in the calcium kidney stone group than in controls. After stratification of ASCVD, inflammatory biomarkers and carotid artery stenosis severity were still significantly higher in the calcium kidney stone group. Multivariate analyses showed that calcium kidney stones significantly increased the risk of ASCVD and carotid artery stenosis. In multivariate linear logistic regression analyses, calcium kidney stone and ASCVD score had a significant association with carotid artery occlusion, but SIRI did not; (4) Conclusions: Calcium kidney stone is associated with higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers and carotid artery stenosis. Calcium kidney stone is associated with higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers and carotid artery stenosis.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to investigate the short-term outcomes achieved with off-pump bypass combined with the aortic no-touch technique where sequential anastomoses between the left internal mammary artery (LIMA), left anterior descending (LAD) and diagonal artery were employed. Material and methods A total of 583 patients (mean age 63, 80% male) who underwent off-pump bypass (LIMA-diagonal-LAD sequential) were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. Data regarding the frequency of in-hospital postoperative complications, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and inotropic agent requirement, re-exploration for bleeding, and length of hospital stay were collected. Anastomosis patency was evaluated in 49 patients who underwent angiography. Results 2.6% of the participants received inotropic agents and 0.5% required IABP. Frequency of acute renal failure, sternal wound infection, cerebrovascular event, respiratory failure, and hemodialysis was less than 1% in total. Among the 49 patients undergoing angiography at an average 41 ±17 months after bypass, the LIMA-LAD was patent in 98% and the LIMA-diagonal was patent in 84% of the subjects. Preoperative left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) and recent myocardial infarction (MI) prior to bypass were significantly correlated with postoperative IABP and inotropic agent requirement (r = 0.165, p < 0.01 for LVEF, p = 0.021 for recent MI). Conclusions Off-pump bypass in combination with the aortic no-touch technique is associated with favorable postoperative outcomes including reduced postoperative stroke, renal dysfunction, IABP, and inotropic agent requirement compared to the results of previous randomized prospective studies published in the literature.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to analyze the association between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and inflammatory markers like systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and prognosis nutritional index (PNI), and to evaluate their efficacy for the diagnosis of VTE in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. Patients and Methods A total of 1326 patients with the initial diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University (AHMU) were enrolled in the training cohort. Univariate and multivariate analysis was used to pinpoint independent predictors of VTE, which were eventually visualized as the nomogram models. The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) was used to screen the best model. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the clinical decision curve analysis (DCA) were utilized to evaluate the models’ predictive performance in the training queue and another external sample of 250 patients at the Second Affiliated Hospital of AHMU. Results A total of 476 patients were complicated with VTE in the training cohort. Multifactorial analysis of clinical characteristics and inflammatory markers showed that PNI, SII, age, tumor location, and therapy were independent risk factors of VTE, visualized as model A. Another model B was constructed by adding coagulation markers to the previous analysis. Model B was the best prediction model with the minimum AIC value, followed by model A with an AUC of 0.806 (95% CI 0.782~0.830) which was similar to model B’s 0.832 (95% CI 0.810~0.855) but significantly higher than the currently widely used Khorana score’s 0.592 (95% CI 0.562~0.621) and the CATS score’s 0.682 (95% CI 0.653~0.712). The external verification yielded similar findings, with the AUC being 0.792 (95% CI 0.734~0.851), 0.834 (95% CI 0.778~0.890), 0.655 (95% CI 0.582~0.729), and 0.774 (95% CI 0.699~0.849) respectively. The DCA curves demonstrated that new models had excellent usefulness in screening patients with a high VTE risk. Conclusion The SII and PNI were simple and viable inflammatory markers associated with VTE, and the nomogram based on them and clinical features had a meaningful clinical utility for VTE in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the role of preoperative Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte ratio (MLR) as a potential predictor of bladder cancer (BC). METHODS Clinical data of patients who underwent TURBT at our institution between 2017 and 2021 were collected and retrospectively analysed. MLR was obtained from preoperative blood analyses performed within 1 month from hospital admission. The association of MLR with different clinic-pathological features obtained from histological reports was further analysed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal Wallis test for non-parametric variables, assuming p<0.05 as statistically significant. RESULTS 510 patients were included in the study (81% males, 19% females), with a mean age of 71.66 ± 11.64 years. Mean MLR was higher in patients with any-type bladder cancer, reporting an MLR of 0.41 ± 0.11 compared to 0.38 ± 0.43 in patients without bladder cancer (p=0.043). In the subsequent comparison among low-grade and high-grade bladder cancer, MLR did not report statistically significant differences, with 0.29 ± 0.12 for low-grade BC and 0.51 ± 0.81 for high-grade BC (p=0.085). CONCLUSIONS Our findings reported elevated preoperative MLR should be considered a potential biomarker predicting malignancy for bladder tumours. Furthermore, research are necessary to assess its role in discerning low-grade from high-grade patients.
