The SIRI values exhibited the highest area under the curve value for SAP incidence (area under the curve = 0.736, 95% CI: 0.692-0.781), with respective sensitivity and specificity values of 0.646 and 0.749 at the optimal cutoff threshold of 2.53. In multivariate analysis, high SIRI (≥2.53) was a significant independent predictor of post-SICH SAP even after controlling for other possible confounding variables (odds ratio: 5.11, 95% CI: 2.89-9.04, P < 0.001).
