Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship of PLR, NLR, SII and SIRI to ACI risk in EH population. We also used receiver operating characteristic curve analysis to assess the discriminative ability of four inflammatory markers in predicting ACI risk in EH population.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>ACI group exhibited higher levels of inflammatory markers (PLR, NLR, SII, and SIRI) compared to NACI group (<i>P</i> < 0.05).

The odds ratios of the highest versus lowest quartile of PLR, NLR, SII and SIRI were 2.090 (95% CI 1.085-4.024), 3.049 (95% CI 1.509-6.161),2.464 (95% CI 1.278-4.749) and 3.372 (95% CI 1.709-6.652), respectively.
