Abstract
Objectives: Systemic inflammatory response is closely related to the pathogenesis and prognosis in critical patients. Recently, systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), an indicator of systemic inflammatory response, was proved to predict the outcome in cancerous and non-cancerous diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between SII on admission and 6-month outcome in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).Methods: The clinical data and prognosis of 76 patients with aSAH was analyzed. Patients were divided into high SII group and low SII group. The 6-month outcome was assessed by the modified Rankin scale (mRS).The unfavorable outcome was defined as mRS score ≥3. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC), area under the curve (AUC) and logistic regression were used to examine the relations between SII levels and 6-month clinical outcomes.Results: Thirty-six patients (47.4%) in our study had a unfavorable outcome (mRS ≥3) at 6 months, and twenty-four (66.7%) of them had high SII. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the SII was correlated with mRS (r=0.418, P<0.05). Binary logistic regression showed that there was an independent association between SII on admission and 6-month clinical outcome (OR=4.271, 95%CI: 1.047-17.422, P<0.05). The AUC of the SII for predicting unfavorable outcome was 0.692(95% CI:0.571–0.814, P<0.05).Conclusion: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) could be a novel independent prognostic factor for aSAH patients at the early stage of the disease.
