Abstract
Background: Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) remains a major cause of technique failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Novel complete blood count-derived inflammatory markers, including the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), and aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), may provide accessible tools for early PDAP risk prediction.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 302 PD patients were stratified according to incident PDAP during follow-up. Restricted cubic splines assessed nonlinear associations. Multivariable logistic regression evaluated independent associations with first-episode PDAP. Receiver operating characteristic curves assessed predictive performance.
Results: Baseline SII, SIRI, and AISI levels were significantly higher in the PDAP group than in the non-PDAP group (all p < 0.05). Higher Ln-SII (OR: 3.598; 95% CI: 2.204-5.872), Ln-SIRI (OR: 2.425; 95% CI: 1.584-3.714), and Ln-AISI (OR: 2.007; 95% CI: 1.403-2.871) were independently associated with increased PDAP risk (all p < 0.001). SII showed the highest discriminatory performance among the three markers, with an area under the curve of 0.689. A combined model incorporating SII, SIRI, and AISI achieved an AUC of 0.715.
Conclusion: Higher SII, SIRI, and AISI levels were associated with an increased risk of first-episode PDAP. A combined model demonstrates promising predictive accuracy.
期刊介绍:
Biomarkers are physical, functional or biochemical indicators of physiological or disease processes. These key indicators can provide vital information in determining disease prognosis, in predicting of response to therapies, adverse events and drug interactions, and in establishing baseline risk. The explosion of interest in biomarker research is driving the development of new predictive, diagnostic and prognostic products in modern medical practice, and biomarkers are also playing an increasingly important role in the discovery and development of new drugs. For the full utility of biomarkers to be realized, we require greater understanding of disease mechanisms, and the interplay between disease mechanisms, therapeutic interventions and the proposed biomarkers. However, in attempting to evaluate the pros and cons of biomarkers systematically, we are moving into new, challenging territory.
Biomarkers in Medicine (ISSN 1752-0363) is a peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal delivering commentary and analysis on the advances in our understanding of biomarkers and their potential and actual applications in medicine. The journal facilitates translation of our research knowledge into the clinic to increase the effectiveness of medical practice.
As the scientific rationale and regulatory acceptance for biomarkers in medicine and in drug development become more fully established, Biomarkers in Medicine provides the platform for all players in this increasingly vital area to communicate and debate all issues relating to the potential utility and applications.
Each issue includes a diversity of content to provide rounded coverage for the research professional. Articles include Guest Editorials, Interviews, Reviews, Research Articles, Perspectives, Priority Paper Evaluations, Special Reports, Case Reports, Conference Reports and Company Profiles. Review coverage is divided into themed sections according to area of therapeutic utility with some issues including themed sections on an area of topical interest.
Biomarkers in Medicine provides a platform for commentary and debate for all professionals with an interest in the identification of biomarkers, elucidation of their role and formalization and approval of their application in modern medicine. The audience for Biomarkers in Medicine includes academic and industrial researchers, clinicians, pathologists, clinical chemists and regulatory professionals.
