The prognostic value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio combined with BISAP score for severe hypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis / 中华急诊医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) combined with bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) score in predicting severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in patients with hypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis (HTGP).Methods:Patients who met the diagnostic criteria of HTGP were retrospectively collected in the Emergency Department of Peking University People's Hospital from January to December in 2019. Patients were assigned to two groups according to the severity of acute pancreatitis the mild acute pancreatitis group and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group. Blood samples were taken within 24 h after the onset of HTGP for analysis. White blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and other laboratory indicators were detected. BISAP score was performed, and NLR and PLR were calculated in all patients within 24 h of the onset of HTGP. Comparison of various indicators was performed in the two groups. The risk factors of SAP patients with HTGP were analyzed by Logistic regression. The correlation of risk factors was analyzed by correlation. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the optimal thresholds of NLR and PLR were calculated respectively. The BISAP score, NLR combined with BISAP score (BN score), PLR combined with BISAP score (BP score), and NLR, PLR combined with BISAP score (BNP score) were compared respectively to predict SAP in patients with HTGP.Results:A total of 82 patients were collected. There were significant differences in the proportion of patients with fever, NLR, PLR, lactate dehydrogenase, urea nitrogen, Ranson score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score and BISAP score between the two groups (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that NLR ( OR=1.859, 95% CI 1.385-2.497, P<0.001), PLR ( OR=1.074, 95% CI 1.036-1.112, P<0.001) and BISAP score ( OR=2.880, 95% CI 1.578-5.258, P=0.001) were risk factors for severe HTGP. Correlation analysis confirmed that NLR and PLR were positively correlated with BISAP, APACHE Ⅱand Ranson score. The AUC of BISAP score, BN score, BP score and BNP score for predicting SAP in HTGP were 0.865 (95% CI 0.787-0.943), 0.925 (95% CI 0.869-0.981),0.930 (95% CI 0.885-0.987), and 0.936 (95% CI 0.874-0.986). Conclusions:NLR and PLR combined with BISAP score has a higher sensitivity to predict the severity of HTGP, which can predict severe pancreatitis within 24 h of the onset of HTGP, so that providing better guidance for treatment.
