Independent risk factors for myasthenic crisis and disease exacerbation in a retrospective cohort of myasthenia gravis patients

Christopher Nelke et al.

Summary: Myasthenic crisis and disease exacerbation impose a high burden on patients with myasthenia gravis. Disease severity at diagnosis and antibody status can predict the occurrence of crisis and exacerbation. Intensified monitoring and prevention of infectious complications may help prevent uncontrolled disease in MG patients.

Summary: The study found that the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) may serve as an independent prognostic indicator of respiratory failure in GBS patients, with higher predictive ability compared to other factors like neutrophil counts.

Systematic Review of Prognostic Role of Blood Cell Ratios in Patients with Gastric Cancer Undergoing Surgery

Sabine Schiefer et al.

Summary: This systematic review investigates the prognostic role of blood cell ratios in gastric cancer patients. The study finds that various blood cell ratios are associated with overall survival and disease-free survival. However, the use of different cut-off values hampers the consistency of the findings.

Summary: We found an association between NLR, LMR, and PLR and periodontitis, which could be considered as emerging blood cell count inflammatory biomarkers that may contribute to understanding the connection between periodontitis and systemic imbalances, as well as to periodontitis prognosis and grading.

Summary: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can reflect the severity and short-term therapeutic effect of myasthenia gravis (MG) in children to some extent. It may serve as a potential marker for indicating the diagnosis and severity of MG in children.

Roles of cytokines and T cells in the pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis

A. Uzawa et al.

Summary: Myasthenia gravis is characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue due to autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor or muscle-specific tyrosine kinase. Immune cells and cytokines play important roles in the production of pathogenic autoantibodies and inflammation in the neuromuscular junction. Th17 cells, Tfh cells, and T-reg cells may contribute to the exacerbation of MG pathogenesis.

Association of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with the prognosis of first attack neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD): a retrospective cohort study

Haojie Xie et al.

Summary: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is significantly associated with relapse rates and poor recovery in patients with optic neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). High NLR levels are linked to higher EDSS scores and relapse rates, indicating NLR's potential as a prognostic indicator for first onset NMOSD. Stratified analysis suggests that NLR, along with factors like sex and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, could influence disease outcomes in NMOSD patients.

Fatih Yildiz et al.

Summary: The study found that lymphocyte, platelet counts, and MPV values were lower, while NLR was higher in SS patients. There was a positive correlation between ESSDAI scores and PLR, indicating these hematologic indices may be associated with disease activity and neurological involvement in SS.

Meng-Hui Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that SII, NLR, and PLR values were higher in UC patients compared to healthy controls and were positively correlated with endoscopic scores, extent of inflammation, and severity index. NLR cut-off value of 562.22 predicted UC with 79.65% sensitivity and 76.16% specificity. High SII and NLR levels were associated with an increased risk of UC.

Summary: For MG patients with acute dyspnea, early-onset MG and respiratory infection are independent risk factors for progression to the life-threatening MC. IVIg treatment provides protective effects, and proper immunosuppressive therapy contributes to a good long-term prognosis.

Systemic Inflammation Index Values Are Associated With Worsened Disease Severity and Poor Response to Autoimmune Encephalitis Treatment

Yanliang Mei et al.

Summary: The study explored the predictive value of SII as a peripheral biomarker of treatment response in AE, finding that a high SII value was associated with poor response to immunotherapy. Multiple risk factors for poor treatment response were identified, including decreased levels of consciousness, time until treatment initiation, and SII.

Lymphocyte-based ratios for predicting respiratory failure in Guillain-Barre syndrome

Pingping Ning et al.

Summary: The study investigated the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as prognostic biomarkers that can independently predict respiratory failure in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Combining these two indices may be more effective than using either one alone.
