Abstract Introduction The host systemic inflammatory response (SIR) is prognostic in a wide variety of solid tumours, with a greater degree of inflammation being associated with a worse clinical outcome. Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is an established way to measure SIR in vivo. We aimed to establish whether preoperative NLR correlates with infective complications in patients undergoing colorectal cancer (CRC) resection. Methods Data was extracted retrospectively for all CRC resections over a 2 year period (2016-2018) at a single district general hospital. NLR was measured for each patient from bloods at the time of pre-operative assessment. Post-operative complications were recorded using the Clavien-Dindo classification and subsequently classified as infective and non-infective. A Two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test was used to evaluate the data from an online resource. Results Of the 131 patients, 49 had complications of which 20 were infective. Of total complications 58% were male and 35% were aged 75 years or older. Current or ex-smokers constituted 43% and 41 of the total patients had a BMI >30 kg/m2. Pre-assessment mean NLR was 2.3 in those without complications and 4.7 in those with any complication. A mean NLR of 5.4 was present in those with infective complications, p-value 0.026. Conclusion This study found that a raised NLR was present preoperatively in those who developed infective complications following CRC resection. This is a simple, readily available and cost-effective method of identifying patients at risk of complication. This ultimately may be useful in highlighting patients who would benefit from enhanced pre-operative optimisation. Further research to validate these findings in larger studies would seem warranted.

Introduction: Systemic inflammatory response evoked by cardiac surgery involving a cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) in combination of surgical trauma, ischemia/reperfusion injury, hypothermia, and endotoxin release contributed to the postoperative morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to explore the potential of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as novel markers to evaluate and predict the adverse clinical outcomes after longer CPB time in cardiac surgery. Methods: Patients who underwent cardiac surgery with or without CPB were allocated into two groups, CPB group (n=11) and N-CPB group (n=21). The time course of NLR, PLR, SII, and C-reactive protein (CPR) were analyzed at preoperative day 1 and postoperative day 1, 3, and 7. The baseline and postoperative parameters, the ICU and hospital stay were recorded. Results: There were no differences of baseline parameters between groups. The level of NLR, PLR, SII, and CPR at postoperative day 1 was higher than that in the preoperative day 1 in both groups (p < 0.01). The level of NLR, SII and CPR at postoperative day 3 was higher than that in the preoperative day 1 in both groups (p < 0.05). The NLR and SII at postoperative day 3 were higher in CPB group than that in N-CPB group (p < 0.05). The ICU and hospital stay was longer in CPB group than N-CPB group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The longer duration of CPB time induced higher systemic inflammatory response characterized by higher level of NLR, PLR and SII. The SII predicted the poor outcome after longer CPB. The peak of systemic inflammatory response occurred on the third day after cardiac surgery.

456 Background: Several inflammatory response materials could be biomarkers for prediction of prognosis of cancer patients; elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), increased white cell, neutrophil, platelet, and decreased albumin. The Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) combines circulating CRP and albumin level, the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been introduced for prognostic scoring system in colorectal cancer (CRC). Thus, in this study, we attempted to identify an more adequate prognostic model related with systemic inflammatory response for CRC. Methods: Between Mar 2005 and Dec 2008, 200 patients who underwent curative resection for colorectal cancer were enrolled in this study. Systemic inflammatory parameters (CRP, albumin, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet count) were checked for making 3 scoring systems. Based on clinical survival data, we then compared PFS and OS with GPS, NLR, and PLR. Results: Male to female were 123:77. Median age of the patients was 64 years (range, 26-83 years). Median follow-up duration was 27.2 months (range 7.8-52.7 months). 36 patients were observed disease progression or death. 19 patients were passed away during follow-up duration. 3 year PFS and OS were 72% and 86%, respectively. Numbers of GPS 0,1, and 2 patients were 154 (77%), 44 (22%), and 2 (1%), respectively. Survival analysis according to GPS, PFS and OS could not be able to show the prognostic significance (P=0.313 and P=263). Cut-off value of NLR and PLR were determined 3 and 180 by ROC curve. Both of NLR and PLR were observed as a good prognostic biomarker of PFS and OS (P=0.009 and P<0.001 in PFS, P=0.006 and P=0.001 in OS). Conclusions: Although GPS, NLR, and PLR were introduced as prognostic scoring systems for operable CRC, PLR which is constructed of platelet/lymphocyte count may represent a useful prognostic index for the prediction of PFS and OS in operable CRC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), platelet distribution width (PDW), red cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), and plateletcrit (PCT) are known as systemic inflammatory response markers. In this study, we aimed to evaluate changes in NLR, PLR, PDW, RDW, MPV, and PCT in preeclampsia (PE) and their use in predicting its severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective case–control study. The study comprised 64 control group (healthy pregnant females), 51 females with mild PE, and 13 with severe PE. These three groups were compared with demographic data and inflammation markers. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between healthy pregnant females and preeclaptic females in terms of median age, hemoglobin, lymphocyte, neutrophil, platelet, NLR, PLR, PDV, RDW, MPV, PCT (P > 0.05). The control group has a higher number of gravity and parity than the PE group (P < 0.001). MPV value is a lower PE group than the control group (P < 0.001). Both gravity and parity were significantly higher in the patients with mild PE than in the control group (P < 0.001). MPV value was statistically higher in the control group compared both mild and severe PE (P < 0.001), however, no statistical difference between mild and severe PE (P = 0.305). CONCLUSIONS: MPV may be clinically useful markers in the prediction of PE. Further, prospective multicenter studies are needed to reveal the association between these markers and PE.

Objective: First objective of this study was to find out factors influencing development of postoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL). Secondary objective was to point out the role of preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in SIRS estimation. Method: The data of 756 patients that underwent PNL for kidney stones between 2012 and 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were divided into 2 groups as non-SIRS and SIRS group. The effects of NLR, PLR and other operative and demographic variables on development of SIRS were investigated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis that was performed on variables that were significant in the univariate analyses was used to establish independent risk factor for post-PNL SIRS. Results: Univariate analysis revealed a significant association between presence of SIRS and preoperative PLR (p<0.001), preoperative NLR (p<0.001), blood transfusion (p<0.001), stone volume (p=0.03), staghorn stone (p<0.001), and preoperative creatinine levels (<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses of these risk factors showed that NLR (p<0.001), PLR (p<0.001), and blood transfusions (p<0.001) were independently associated with SIRS. When the cut-off value of PLR was 120.5, the development of SIRS was predicted with 80.1% specificity and 81% sensitivity. When the cut-off value of NLR was 2.75, the development of SIRS was predicted with 64% specificity and 63.7% sensitivity. Conclusion: Preoperative PLR and NLR are effective and inexpensive biomarkers that can be used to predict SIRS and sepsis after PNL. We recommend that patients with PLR >120.5, NLR >2.75, and blood transfusions should be monitored closely due to the possible development of serious complications.

AbstractBackgroundIn order to manage the COVID-19 systemic inflammatory response, it is important to identify clinicopathological characteristics across multiple cohorts.MethodsElectronic patient records for 2 consecutive cohorts of patients admitted to two urban teaching hospitals with COVID-19 during two 7-week periods of the COVID-19 pandemic in Glasgow, U.K. (cohort 1: 17th March 2020 – 1st May 2020) and (cohort 2: 18th May 2020 – 6th July 2020) were examined for routine clinical, laboratory and clinical outcome data.ResultsCompared with cohort 1, cohort 2 were older (p<0.001), more likely to be female (p<0.05) and have less independent living circumstances (p<0.001). More patients in cohort 2 were PCR positive, CXR negative (both p<0.001) and had low serum albumin concentrations (p<0.001). 30-day mortality was similar between both cohorts (23% and 22%). Over the 2 cohorts, age ≥70 (p<0.001), male gender (p<0.05), hypertension (p<0.01), heart failure (p<0.05), cognitive impairment (p<0.001), frailty (p<0.001), COPD (p<0.05), delirium (p<0.001), elevated perioperative Glasgow Prognostic Score (p≤0.001), elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (p<0.001), low haematocrit (p<0.01), elevated urea (p<0.001), creatinine (p<0.001), glucose (p<0.05) and lactate (p<0.01); and the 4C score were associated with 30-day mortality. When compared with the 4C score, greater frailty (OR 10.2, 95% C.I. 3.4 – 30.6, p<0.01) and low albumin (OR 5.6, 95% C.I. 2.0 – 15.6, p<0.01) were strongly independently associated with 30-day mortality.ConclusionIn addition to the 4C mortality score, frailty score and a low albumin were strongly independently associated with 30-day mortality in two consecutive cohorts of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19.Article summaryIn two consecutive cohorts of patients with COVID-19 infection admitted to two urban teaching hospitals in Glasgow, UK, there were variations in a number of clinicopathological characteristics despite similar mortality (23 and 22%).In these two cohorts, in a multivariate analysis that included the 4C mortality score, clinical frailty score >3, low serum albumin concentration (<35 g/L), high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (≥5), and abnormal serum sodium concentration (<133/>145 mmol/L) remained independently associated with 30-day mortality.

Background: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a state of systemic inflammatory activation by various causes. SIRS have a high mortality rate. Prolactin is known to regulate cellular function of immune system.  Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is simple, cost effective and easy parameter that currently used as inflammation marker.Objective: The aims of this study is to determine the correlation between prolactin serum with NLR in SIRS patients.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 50 clinically SIRS patients. Prolactin serum was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and NLR was calculated manually from absolute neutrophil and lymphocyte count measured by automatic hematology analyzer. Non-parametric Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between prolactin with NLR.Results: Median value of serum prolactin level was 11.32 ng/mL (2.76-194.81), whereas the mean value NLR was 16.36 ± 11.58. The correlation between prolactin levels with NLR was r = 0.345, p = 0.014.Conclusion: There is a weak positive significant correlation between prolactin with neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in SIRS

Abstract Objective The systemic inflammatory response is a cascade of physiologic reactions that arise in response to trauma, infection, burn, or any kind of injury. This study aimed to determine the effects of water immersion during the first stage of labor on the systemic inflammatory indices in the postpartum period. Materials and methods In this retrospective study, 125 healthy multiparous women with uncomplicated pregnancies between 37 and 41 weeks of gestation who elected for immersion in water during the first stage of labor were compared with multiparous uncomplicated term women who had conventional vaginal births on land (n=125). Age, parity, body mass index (BMI), gestational age, duration of labor, birth weight, Apgar scores, neonatal intensive care unit admissions, and ante- and postpartum whole blood parameters were noted. Antepartum and postpartum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV) were calculated for all patients as systemic inflammatory indices. Results Demographic characteristics and birth outcomes of both groups were similar except BMI, which was statistically significantly higher in the water immersion group. There were no statistical differences in antepartum NLR, MLR, PLR, and MPV between the 2 groups. However, postpartum NLR, MLR, PLR, and MPV were statistically significantly lower in the water immersion group compared to the controls. Conclusion Water immersion during the first stage of labor might decrease systemic inflammatory indices in the early postpartum period.
