Diagnostic Utility of Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) in Predicting Insulin Resistance: Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2020.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR), a hallmark feature of diabetes and metabolic syndrome, is characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation. Pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), an emerging immune cell count-based inflammatory index, is the global quantifier of systemic inflammation. This study analyses the levels of PIV and its association with various markers of IR.
