Prognostic value of the systemic inflammation response index in patients with aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage and a Nomogram model construction.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic value of inflammatory markers, including neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in patients with aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and then develop a Nomogram prognostic model. METHODS We analysed 178 aSAH patients who underwent surgery at Subei People's Hospital of Jiangsu province from January 2015 to December 2017. Patients were divided into two groups according to Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score at 3 months. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify the association between inflammatory markers and prognosis. Subsequently, we identified the best cutoff of SIRI for unfavorable outcome using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and compared the clinical data between high and low SIRI levels. We further evaluated the additive value of SIRI by comparing prognostic nomogram models with and without it. RESULTS A total of 47 (26.4%) patients had a poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SIRI was an independent risk factor of poor outcome. The SIRI of 4.105 × 109/L was identified as the optimal cutoff value, patients with high SIRI levels had worse clinical status and higher rates of unfavorable outcome. ROC analysis showed that a nomogram model combining the SIRI and other conventional factors showed more favorable predictive ability than the model without the SIRI. CONCLUSIONS SIRI was independently correlated with unfavorable outcome in SAH patients, and the nomogram model combining the SIRI had more favorable discrimination ability.
