The Clinical Value of Systemic Inflammatory Response Index and Inflammatory Prognosis Index in Predicting 3-Month Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Intravenous Thrombolysis

PURPOSE: Systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) was an independent predictor of the prognosis of many diseases. Inflammatory prognostic index (IPI) was a new inflammatory prognostic marker with certain clinical significance. We aimed to explore the association between SIRI, IPI and early stage severity of stroke as well as 3-month outcome of AIS patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 63 AIS patients who treated with alteplase were selected. The patients were divided into mild group and moderate to severe group according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores. According to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score, patients were divided into the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group. Spearman correlation statistically analyzed the correlation between SIRI, IPI and NIHSS score. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyzed the risk factors of 3-month prognosis. ROC curve was adopted to predict the effect of SIRI and IPI levels on poor prognosis in AIS patients. RESULTS: Spearman analysis showed that there was positively correlated with NIHSS score and IPI in mild AIS group (r=0.541, P<0.05). Compared with the mild group, SIRI and IPI in the moderate to severe group was significantly higher (P<0.05). The SIRI and IPI in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group (P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SIRI and IPI were independent prognostic factors for the 3-month prognosis of AIS patients (P< 0.05). The ROC curve showed that the areas under the 3-month prognosis curve predicted by SIRI and IPI were 0.685, 0.774 respectively. CONCLUSION: IPI is correlated with stroke severity at admission. SIRI and IPI are independent predictors of short-term prognosis in AIS patients. SIRI and IPI can be a novel the good short-term prognostic biomarker for AIS patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis.
