Abstract
The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) was significantly higher in patients with severe infections, those with necrosis, and in those requiring admission, postoperative antibiotics, and any amputation. However, SII was significantly lower in patients with osteomyelitis compared to those with soft tissue infections. The correlation coefficients (rho) between SII and other inflammatory markers were as follows: WBC (Moderate correlation, 0.64, P < .001), ESR (Weak correlation, 0.34, P < .001), and CRP (Moderate correlation, 0.56, P < .001). The correlation coefficient (rho) between SII and the number of days admitted was moderate, 0.42 (P < .001). Based on a previous experience, SII may be an additional marker to diagnose osteomyelitis in the feet of patients with diabetes. Now, we need further research including SII, a low-cost and easy-to-measure index, in well-designed controlled studies to definitively clarify its role.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds (IJLEW) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, reviews of evidence-based diagnostic techniques and methods, disease and patient management, and surgical and medical therapeutics for lower extremity wounds such as burns, stomas, ulcers, fistulas, and traumatic wounds. IJLEW also offers evaluations of assessment and monitoring tools, dressings, gels, cleansers, pressure management, footwear/orthotics, casting, and bioengineered skin. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
