Systemic immune-inflammation index and serum glucose-potassium ratio predict poor prognosis in patients with spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage: An observational study.

Recent studies have shown systemic inflammatory response, serum glucose, and serum potassium are associated with poor prognosis in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association of systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) and serum glucose-potassium ratio (GPR) with the severity of disease and the poor prognosis of patients with SICH at 3 months after hospital discharge. We reviewed the clinical data of 105 patients with SICH, assessed the extent of their disease using Glasgow Coma Scale score, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and hematoma volume, and categorized them into a good prognosis group (0-3 scores) and a poor prognosis group (4-6 scores) based on their mRS scores at 3 months after hospital discharge. Demographic characteristics, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data at admission were compared between the 2 groups, bivariate correlations were analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficients, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for poor prognosis of patients with SICH, and finally, SII, GPR, and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were examined using the subject's work characteristics (ROC) curve, lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for their predictive efficacy for poor prognosis. Patients in the poor prognosis group had significantly higher SII and serum GPR than those in the good prognosis group, and Spearman analysis showed that SII and serum GPR were significantly correlated with the admission Glasgow Coma Scale score as well as the NIHSS score and that SII and GPR increased with the increase in mRS score. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that admission NIHSS score, hematoma volume SII, GPR, NLR, and PLR were independently associated with poor patient prognosis. Analysis of the subjects' work characteristic curves showed that the areas under the SII, GPR, NLR, PLR, LMR, and coSII-GPR curves were 0.838, 0.837, 0.825, 0.718, 0.616, and 0.883. SII and GRP were significantly associated with disease severity and short-term prognosis in SICH patients 3 months after discharge, and SII and GPR had better predictive value compared with NLR, PLR, and LMR. In addition, coSII-GPR, a joint indicator based on SII and GPR, can improve the predictive accuracy of poor prognosis 3 months after discharge in patients with SICH.
