Abstract
Objective: To assess the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), as diagnostic markers for neonatal sepsis.
Methods: This retrospective study involve neonates with sepsis and healthy neonates as controls. NLR, PLR, and SII were compared between groups.
Result: In total, 60 neonates with sepsis and 60 healthy controls were involved in the study. Compared with controls, the sepsis group had higher values for NLR, PLR and SII. Logistic regression analysis suggested that the NLR, PLR and SII were independent risk factors for neonatal sepsis. In addition, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that the NLR, PLR and SII were reliable predictors of neonatal sepsis and SII had the best predictive value.
Conclusions: NLR, PLR and SII appear to be useful indicators for predicting neonatal sepsis.
期刊介绍:
_Journal of International Medical Research_ is a leading international journal for rapid publication of original medical, pre-clinical and clinical research, reviews, preliminary and pilot studies on a page charge basis.
As a service to authors, every article accepted by peer review will be given a full technical edit to make papers as accessible and readable to the international medical community as rapidly as possible.
Once the technical edit queries have been answered to the satisfaction of the journal, the paper will be published and made available freely to everyone under a creative commons licence.
Symposium proceedings, summaries of presentations or collections of medical, pre-clinical or clinical data on a specific topic are welcome for publication as supplements.
