This study explored the predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on 30-day outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after surgical treatment. The results showed that NLR within 48 hours after surgery was an independent risk factor for the 30-day outcomes in patients with ICH. The peak NLR >12.35 or 14.46 in patients receiving different surgical approaches reflected a poor prognosis.
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to explore the predictive value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on 30-day outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after surgical treatment. MethodsThis retrospective study utilized data from patients with ICH who underwent craniotomy or minimally invasive puncture and drainage (MIPD) between January 2015 and June 2021. The patients meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups according to 30-day outcomes, namely, the favorable outcome group and the poor outcome group. Sex, age, time from onset to admission, vital signs at admission, admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hematoma volume, hematoma location, surgical approach, and NLR at different time points were all recorded and analyzed. ResultsA total of 128 patients were finally enrolled in this study, including 32 and 96 patients in the favorable outcome group and the poor outcome group, respectively. During the course of ICH, the changing trend of NLR was to increase first and then decrease and peaked within 48 h after surgery. In the univariate analysis, systolic blood pressure, admission GCS score, hematoma volume, surgical approach, and NLR within 48 h after surgery were statistically significant. In the multivariable analysis, NLR within 48 h after surgery (odds ratio [OR] = 1.342, p < 0.001) was an independent risk factor of the 30-day outcomes in patients with ICH after surgical treatment. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the best predictive cut-off value for NLR within 48 h after surgery was 12.35 [sensitivity 82.9%, specificity 81.8%, and area under the curve (AUC) 0.877] and 14.46 (sensitivity 55.1%, specificity 87.5%, and area under the curve 0.731) for the MIPD group and the craniotomy group, respectively. ConclusionsIn the process of ICH, the value of NLR was increased first and then decreased and peaked within 48 h after surgery. NLR within 48 h after surgery was an independent risk factor of the 30-day outcomes in patients with ICH. The peak NLR >12.35 or 14.46 in patients receiving MIPD or craniotomy reflected a poor prognosis, respectively.
