Abstract Background: Early identification of risk factors for short-term mortality in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is crucial for early prognostication. This study aimed to explore the association of early dynamic changes in inflammatory markers with 30-day mortality in IHCA patients.Methods: This study retrospectively collected demographic and clinical characteristics and relevant laboratory indicators within 72 h after recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) of IHCA patients from December 2015 to December 2020 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. The outcome was 30-day mortality. A linear mixed model was used to analyze the dynamic changes in laboratory indicators within 72 h after ROSC, and Cox regression was used to identify the independent risk factors for 30-day mortality.Results: Overall, 85 IHCA patients were included. The 0-72h and 0-30day cumulative mortality rates were 25.88% and 57.65%, respectively, and the median survival time was 13.79 days. There was no association of inflammatory markers before IHCA with mortality. Within 72 h after ROSC, inflammatory markers showed various changes: the absolute monocyte count (AMC) showed no significant change trend, and the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) showed an overall upward trend, while the absolute neutral count (ANC), white blood cell (WBC) count, platelet (PLT) count, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) showed an overall downward trend. Cox multivariate analysis showed that Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) (HR = 2.366, 95%CI (1.084, 5.168)), APACHE II score (HR = 2.550, 95% CI (1.001, 6.498)), abnormal Cr before IHCA (HR = 3.417, 95% CI (1.441, 8.104)) and PLR within 72 h after ROSC (HR = 2.993, 95% CI (1.442, 6.214)) were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality. When PLR ≥ 180, the risk of 30-day mortality increased by 199.3%.Conclusions: This study clarified the dynamic change trends of inflammatory markers within 72 h after ROSC. The PLR was an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality in IHCA patients; it can be used as a predictor of short-term mortality and provide a reference for early prognostication.Trial registration: ChiCTR1800014324

Background: Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a prognostic predictor in a wide range of cardiovascular disease. Acute aortic dissection (AD) is an uncommon but fatal cardiovascular disease. In this study, we investigated both prognostic factors in patients with AD and whether NLR can be a predictor for mortality. Methods: We analyzed retrospectively the data of 57 patients with AD who had undergone emergent surgery in our hospital and included 128 consecutive patients with chest pain admitted to the emergency room as a control group. Also, patients who were operated on due to aortic dissection as another subgroup were compared to NLR values. Baseline clinical features, cardiovascular risk factors, and surgical and laboratory parameters were obtained from the hospital database. Results: Patients with AD had higher NLR than the control group (1.7 ± 0.5 versus 7.6 ± 3.3, P < .001). In the AD group, 15 deaths occurred and non-survivors had significantly higher NLR, compared to survivors (11.6 ± 2.4 versus 6.6 ± 2.3, P < .001). In multivariate analysis, high NLR (odds ratio [OR] 1.913, 95% CI 1.030-1.081, P = .04) and cross-clamp time (OR 1.265, 95% CI 1.003-1.596, P = .04) were determined as independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. In receiver operating characteristics curve analyses, the NLR > 9.3 predicted the mortality in AD with a specificity of 91% and a sensitivity of 86% (P < .001).Conclusion: This study shows that high NLR can be used as a marker for prognosis in short-term mortality of patient with AD. Additionally, increased lactate level in perioperative period, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, and additional cardiac procedures are strong independent predictors of short-term mortality in patients with acute AD.

PurposeTo evaluate the diagnostic values of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa).MethodsBetween January 2014 and December 2019, 117 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and 278 patients with localized PCa who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) were included in this study. The inflammatory markers including SII, NLR, platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte–monocyte ratio (LMR), lymphocyte ratio (LR), neutrophil ratio (NR), mean platelet volume (MPV), and red cell distribution (RDW) of these two groups were examined and analyzed. ROC curve analysis was performed to assess the discriminative ability of inflammatory markers and their combination with tPSA for PCa. The binary logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between significant inflammatory markers and risk of PCa.ResultsThe pathological results from RP specimen comprised 72 (25.90%) patients with pT1, 168 (60.43%) patients with pT2, and 38 (13.67%) patients with pT3. According to Student’s t test, patients with PCa had higher NLR (p = 0.034), SII (p = 0.008), and NR (p = 0.004), and lower LR (p = 0.025), MPV (p = 0.003), and TPV (p = 0.022) compared with patients with BPH; the distribution of age, PLR, LMR, RDW, f/t PSA ratio, and BMI did not show any significant differences. The AUC for NLR, SII, NR, and tPSA was 0.697 (p = 0.015), 0.719 (p &lt; 0.001), 0.647 (p = 0.009), and 0.708 (p &lt; 0.001), with threshold values of 1.6, 471.86, 65.15%, and 12.89 ng/ml, respectively. Patients were divided into two groups according to the threshold values, respectively. By using the multivariable logistic regression models, NLR ≥ 1.6 (OR, 2.731; 95% CI, 0.937–7.961, p = 0.042), SII ≥ 471.86 (OR, 1.274; 95% CI 0.473–3.433; p = 0.033), and PSA ≥ 12.89 ng/ml (OR, 1.443; 95% CI, 0.628–3.944; p = 0.014) were independent risk factors associated with PCa. The AUC for combination of NLR, SII, and NR with tPSA was 0.705 (p &lt; 0.001), 0.725 (p &lt; 0.001), and 0.704 (p &lt; 0.001), respectively.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that SII, NLR, and NR were all independent risk factors of PCa. These factors alone could provide better screen methods for PCa before biopsy. In addition, SII is a more powerful tool among these three inflammatory markers associated with PCa. Besides, combination of SII and NLR with tPSA had not much advantage compared with themselves alone.

Background: Although the lungs are potentially highly susceptible to post-cardiac arrest syndrome injury, the issue of acute respiratory failure after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has not been investigated. The objectives of this analysis were to determine the prevalence of acute respiratory failure after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, its association with post-cardiac arrest syndrome inflammatory response and to clarify its importance for early mortality. Methods: The Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS) pilot study was a prospective, observational, six-centre project (Poland 2, Denmark 1, Spain 1, Italy 1, UK 1), studying patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of cardiac origin. Primary outcomes were: (a) the profile of organ failure within the first 72 hours after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; (b) in-hospital and short-term mortality, up to 30 days of follow-up. Respiratory failure was defined using a modified version of the Berlin acute respiratory distress syndrome definition. Inflammatory response was defined using leukocytes (white blood cells), platelet count and C-reactive protein concentration. All parameters were assessed every 24 hours, from admission until 72 hours of stay. Results: Overall, 148 patients (age 62.9±15.27 years; 27.7% women) were included. Acute respiratory failure was noted in between 50 (33.8%) and 75 (50.7%) patients over the first 72 hours. In-hospital and short-term mortality was 68 (46.9%) and 72 (48.6%), respectively. Inflammation was significantly associated with the risk of acute respiratory failure, with the highest cumulative odds ratio of 748 at 72 hours (C-reactive protein 1.035 (1.001–1.070); 0.043, white blood cells 1.086 (1.039–1.136); 0.001, platelets 1.004 (1.001–1.007); <0.005). Early acute respiratory failure was related to in-hospital mortality (3.172, 95% confidence interval 1.496–6.725; 0.002) and to short-term mortality (3.335 (1.815–6.129); 0.0001). Conclusions: An inflammatory response is significantly associated with acute respiratory failure early after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Acute respiratory failure is associated with a worse early prognosis after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
