Objectives. The aims of this study were to evaluate the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CRP/ALB), inflammatory markers, and parameters from the complete blood count (CBC) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their associations with disease activity. Methods. A total of 876 IBD patients, composed of 275 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 601 patients with Crohn’s disease (CD), were included in this retrospective study, and the serum C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin (ALB), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and CBC parameters were measured. To explore the disease activity, the Mayo score and Crohn disease activity index were used to assess UC and CD patients, respectively. Results. The CRP/ALB ratio, CRP, ESR, platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) levels in active IBD patients were significantly higher than those in inactive IBD patients, whereas ALB and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) levels were significantly decreased (P<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the optimum cut-off values of the CRP/ALB ratio for active UC and CD were 0.18 and 0.43, with sensitivities of 67.8% and 75.8% and specificities of 86.7% and 92.0%, respectively. Multivariable logistic analysis revealed that after adjusting for these inflammatory markers (ESR, NLR, PLR, and LMR), the CRP/ALB ratio was a statistically significant parameter capable of differentiating the disease activity of UC and CD. Conclusions. This study indicated that the CRP/ALB ratio was closely related to the IBD disease activity. Compared with CBC parameters, the CRP/ALB ratio had a higher discriminative capacity for active IBD.

Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are routinely used to assess disease activity in spondyloarthritis. New biomarkers have been reported, such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), CRP to albumin ratio (CAR), and albumin to fibrinogen ratio (AFR). Our study aimed to assess these ratios in spondyloarthritis and to determine the relationship between these ratios and the disease activity. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study, including patients with spondyloarthritis. The following ratios were calculated: PLR, NLR, AFR, and CAR. Pearson correlation analysis was carried out to test the correlation of the data. Receiver operating characteristic curves were evaluated for each ratio using ASDASCRP as the gold standard for disease activity. Results: Eighty-five patients were included. The sex ratio was 60 males to 25 females. The mean age was 42.58 ± 11.75 years. There was a positive correlation between the PLR and the following parameters: CAR, CRP, and ESR. A negative correlation was found between AFR and the following ratios: PLR, NLR, CRP, and ESR. The ASDAS correlated negatively with AFR and positively with both PLR and CAR. The cut-offs values of CAR and PLR to distinguish patients with very high disease activity (ASDASCRP>3.5) were 0.442 and 173.64, respectively. Conclusions: Given their good correlation with ESR and CRP, we suggest that PLR, CAR, and AFR can be used as potential indicators of inflammation in spondyloarthritis. The CAR and PLR are useful to identify patients with very high disease activity.

e15505 Background: Inflammation seems to be significant factor in carcinogenesis and tumor progression of numerous cancers. Blood calculated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), international normalized ratio (INR) can be evaluated as systemic inflammation markers and prognostic biomarker for many aims: survival outcomes, lymph node metastasis and recurrence, treatment responses in a variety of cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate baseline associations between blood test parameters (NLR, PLR, LDH, CRP, INR) and their prognostic biomarker role for patient with metastatic gastric cancer, undergoing first-line chemotherapy Methods: Potential baseline inflammatory markers (platelets, neutrophils, lymphocytes, the platelet-lymphocyte ratio, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, the serum C-reactive protein [CRP], the serum LDH, INR) were retrospectively analyzed in 32 patients with metastatic gastric cancer, IV stage (median of age – 60,50). Multivariate analyses were used to identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). Baseline values were compared with tumor characteristic and median survival times (MSTs). Results: Multivariate analysis identified due to Cox proportional-hazards regression showed significant longest OS in patients with: localization of primary tumor in antral part of gastric (HR 0,45, 95% CI 0,25-0,80, p = 0,0065); low baseline’s level of WBC (HR 1,17, 95% CI 1.02 - 1,35, p = 0,0219); low baseline’s level of neutrophil (HR 1,18, 95% CI 1.02 - 1,34, p = 0,0251). Level of LDH, CRP, INR didn’t show significant ratio for this cohort of patient. Peritoneum metastatic also didn’t significant affect on OS in patient with metastatic gastric cancer. Patients with low baseline’s platelet to lymphocyte ratio (HR 1,004, 95% CI 1,0009-1,0072, p = 0,0125) and low (from 0 to 3,0) neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (HR 1,81, 95% CI 1,09-2,99, p = 0,0212) had a significantly longest OS time. Conclusions: Inflammatory markers can predict overall survival in stage IV gastric cancer. Simple and useful.
