Abstract
Introduction
To evaluate the predictive value of combined determination of peripheral neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the treatment of adamylizumab in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Method
From January 2020 to May 2024, 60 patients with AS in our hospital were selected and treated with adalimumab for 12 weeks. The changes of NLR, PLR, CRP, IL-6 levels before and after treatment were compared, and the improvement of the disease was assessed by BASMI spinal activity, and the patients were divided into ineffective group (BASMI>4 points) and effective group (BASMI≤4 points). The correlation between Spearman and BASMI was analyzed, and the predictive value was analyzed by ROC curve.
Results
After treatment, the scores of NLR, PLR, CRP, IL-6 and BASMI were decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). The levels of NLR, PLR, CRP and IL-6 were positively correlated with BASMI (P<0.05). Before treatment, the indexes in the ineffective group were higher than those in the effective group (P<0.05). The combined prediction AUC is 0.664.
Discussion
The combined determination of NLR, PLR, CRP and IL-6 in peripheral blood can predict the therapeutic effect of adalimumab in patients with AS.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Preventive Medicine is the official journal of the American College of Preventive Medicine and the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research. It publishes articles in the areas of prevention research, teaching, practice and policy. Original research is published on interventions aimed at the prevention of chronic and acute disease and the promotion of individual and community health.
Of particular emphasis are papers that address the primary and secondary prevention of important clinical, behavioral and public health issues such as injury and violence, infectious disease, women''s health, smoking, sedentary behaviors and physical activity, nutrition, diabetes, obesity, and substance use disorders. Papers also address educational initiatives aimed at improving the ability of health professionals to provide effective clinical prevention and public health services. Papers on health services research pertinent to prevention and public health are also published. The journal also publishes official policy statements from the two co-sponsoring organizations, review articles, media reviews, and editorials. Finally, the journal periodically publishes supplements and special theme issues devoted to areas of current interest to the prevention community.
