Systemic Inflammation Response Index and Systemic Immune-inflammation Index for Predicting the Prognosis of Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Objectives: Inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in the progress of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). As novel inflammatory markers, systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and systemic immune-inflammation (SII) index could reflect clinical outcomes of patients with various diseases. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether initial SIRI and SII index were associated with prognosis of aSAH patients. Methods: A total of 680 patients with aSAH were enrolled. Their prognosis was evaluated with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months, and unfavorable clinical outcome was defined as mRS score of 3-6. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to identify cutoff values of SIRI and SII index for predicting clinical outcomes. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to explore relationships of SIRI and SII index with prognosis of patients. Results: Optimal cutoff values of SIRI and SII index to discriminate between favorable and unfavorable clinical outcomes were 3.2 x 10(9)/L and 960 x 10(9)/L, respectively (P < 0.001 and 0.004, respectively). In multivariate analysis, SIRI value >= 3.2 x 10(9)/L (odds ratio [OR]: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.46-3.24; P = 0.021) and SII index value >= 960 x 10(9)/L (OR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.24-2.74; P = 0.040) were independent predicting factors for poor prognosis after aSAH. Conclusions: SIRI and SII index values are associated with clinical outcomes of patients with aSAH. Elevated SIRI and SII index could be independent predicting factors for a poor prognosis after aSAH.

Automated summary

This study found that SIRI and SII index values are associated with clinical outcomes in patients with aSAH. Elevated SIRI and SII index could be independent predicting factors for a poor prognosis after aSAH.
