The Predictive Role of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Monocytes-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR) and Gammaglobulins for the Development of Cutaneous Vasculitis Lesions in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome

Background: In primary Sjögren’s Syndrome (pSS), cutaneous vasculitis lesions (CVL) are extraglandular manifestations with an important clinical and prognostic impact and their early detection might contribute to the improvement of disease control and even patients’ survival.

description Background: In primary Sjögren’s Syndrome (pSS), cutaneous vasculitis lesions (CVL) are extraglandular manifestations with an important clinical and prognostic impact and their early detection might contribute to the improvement of disease control and even patients’ survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive potential of hematological elements in the development of CVL in pSS patients. Methods: In this single center, retrospective study, a total of 245 participants were included (124 pSS patients and 121 healthy controls). Complete blood count, inflammatory and immunological parameters were determined at the initial visit. pSS patients underwent a periodical follow-up program, when disease progression and response to therapy was monitored, including the emergence of CVL. Results: In pSS, leucocytes, lymphocyte, neutrophil, monocyte, erythrocyte and platelet counts are significantly decreased compared to healthy subjects (p < 0.001), whereas cellular ratios: NLR, PLR, MLR, and immunological and inflammatory parameters are significantly increased (p < 0.001). A total of 34 patients with pSS (27.41%) developed CVL during the follow-up period. The occurrence of CVL was positively correlated with neutrophil and platelet counts (p < 0.001), while for lymphocytes the correlation was negative (p < 0.001). Cellular ratios: NLR, PLR and MLR, and gammaglobulins also revealed significant positive correlations with the emergence of CVL in pSS (p < 0.001). The multivariate analysis confirmed the independent predictive character for CVL emergence in pSS for NLR (CI95% 0.053–0.2, p < 0.002), PLR (CI95% 0.001–0.003, p < 0.003), MLR (CI95% 0.086–0.935, p < 0.019), and gammaglobulins (CI95% 0.423–0.688, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Standard hematological parameters, widely used in the assessment of pSS patients, such as NLR, PLR, MLR and gammaglobulins could become valid elements that might be used for the early detection of patients at risk for the development of CVL.
