A potential novel inflammation biomarker for predicting the prognosis of decompensated liver cirrhosis
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the prognostic value of the lymphocyte (LYM)-to-white blood cell (WBC) ratio (LWR) in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis (DLC). METHODS: This study was conducted by recruiting 214 patients with DLC with different aetiologies (development cohort). Recei...

description | OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the prognostic value of the lymphocyte (LYM)-to-white blood cell (WBC) ratio (LWR) in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis (DLC). METHODS: This study was conducted by recruiting 214 patients with DLC with different aetiologies (development cohort). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to assess the predictive accuracy of the LWR, and Youden’s index was used to determine the optimal cut-off values of the LWR based on the ROC curve. Next, patients were divided into high- and low-LWR groups according to the cut-off values. Multivariate logistic analyses were performed to determine the independent predictors for the 1-, 3- and 6-month mortality. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to determine and visualize the association between LWR and the risk of death. We verified the predictive ability of LWR in the validation cohort of 139 patients. RESULTS: In the development cohort, there were 16 (7.5%), 22 (10.3%) and 30 patients (14.0%) who died at 1, 3 and 6 months, respectively. The LWR was significantly lower in non-survivors than in survivors and was an independent predictor of poor outcomes. The ROC analyses with the Delong test showed that the LWR had comparable predictive power with the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, neutrophil-to-LYM ratio (NLR) and Chronic Liver Failure consortium score for acute decompensated (CLIF-C ADs). RCS showed a non-linear relationship between the LWR and the risk of death at 1 and 3 months, whereas a linear relationship was observed between the LWR and the risk of death at 6 months. We verified that the decreased LWR was an independent predictor of adverse outcomes at 3-, and 6-month follow-up endpoints in the validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that a lower LWR is an independent factor for unfavourable outcomes and may serve as a potential novel prognostic predictor in patients with DLC. KEY MESSAGES: This study is the first report on the prognostic value of the lymphocyte (LYM)-to-white blood cell (WBC) ratio (LWR) in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis (DLC). Decreased LWR is an independent factor for adverse outcomes in patients with DLC. |
