Control nutritional status score and platelet/lymphocyte ratio relationship with left ventricular hypertrophy in peritoneal dialysispatients by QUAN Yu-di, ZHOU Qiao, FENG Jin-hong, ZHANG Ying

“…Objective Using controlling nutritional status（CONUT） score and platelet to lymphocyte ratio（PLR）,to evaluate the nutritional status and inflammation status of patients with peritoneal dialysis（PD）,and analyze their relationship with left ventricular hypertrophy.Methods The patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis in Department of Nephrology,Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2019 to May 2020 were enrolled.General patient information and laboratory indicators were collected.Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound was used to assess changes in the patient’s cardiac structure.According to the presence or absence of left ventricular hypertrophy（LVH）,the patients were divided into LVH group and non-LVH group.Each indicator was compared between the two groups,and risk factors of LVH were analyzed by logistic regression method.ROC curve was used to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of PLR and CONUT in diagnosing LVH.Results（1） A total of 82 patients were included,and the incidence of LVH was 40.2%.Systolic blood pressure,uric acid,PLR and CONUT scores of the LVH group were significantly higher than those of the non-LVH group; and Hb,LVEF and Alb were significantly lower than those of the non-LVH group（P<0.05）,with statistical significance.（2） Logistic regression analysis showed that systolic blood pressure,PLR and CONUT score were all risk factors affecting left ventricular hypertrophy.（3）The areas under the curve of LVH ROC curve analysis found that,the areas under the curve of LVH PLR and CONUT score predicted in PD patients were 0.743 and 0.822,respectively,and the combined prediction value was 0.855.Conclusions CONUT score and PLR are associated with LVH in peritoneal dialysis patients,and are the influencing factors of LVH.The combination between CONUT score and PLR is more valuable in predicting LVH in PD patients.…”

Severity and Prognosis of Vascular Dementia in Patients with Acute Cerebral Infarction Combined with H-Type Hypertension and Its Correlation with Uric Acid Levels by Hong Y, Feng M

“…Based on cognitive function scores, patients were further classified into mild, moderate, and severe dementia subgroups, and differences in uric acid and homocysteine levels were analyzed. Prognosis was assessed in the observation group after three months of treatment using activities of daily living scores, and logistic regression was performed to identify prognostic factors.Results: The observation group had significantly higher blood uric acid levels than the control group (P&lt; 0.05). …”

Association of baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio with primary peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients by Hou Wen-juan, Tao Shu-man, Fang Wei-wei, Zhao Wen-man, Li Dan-dan, Liu Gui-ling

“…Objective To retrospectively analyze whether a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio（NLR）was associated with the risk of initial peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis（PD）patients.Methods A total of 119 patients with end-stage renal disease underwent PD catheterization from August 2013 to July 2018 and regular follow–ups were conducted.They were divided into the groups of high NLR（NLR≥2.65）and low NLR（NLR<2.65）according to the median baseline level of NLR.The clinical data of two groups were compared.Logistic and linear regression models were employed for analyzing the correlation between baseline serum NLR and the occurrence of initial peritonitis.The diagnostic value of NLR to PD-associated peritonitis（PDAD）was evaluated by ROC curve.Results A total of 119 patients were recruited.The incidence of peritonitis was higher in high NLR group.Univariate logistic regression revealed a higher risk of peritonitis at baseline with a high level of NLR（OR=2.555,95%CI 1.684～3.878,P<0.01）had a higher risk of peritonitis.Multivariate analysis indicated that a high baseline level of NLR（OR=2.467,95%CI 1.439～4.232,P<0.01）was an independent risk factor for peritonitis.Univariate linear regression analysis showed that a high baseline level of NLR（standardized β=-0.352,P<0.01）was negatively correlated with dialytic age;multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that a high baseline level of NLR（standardized β=-0.340,P<0.01）was an independent risk factor for dialytic age.The area under the ROC curve was 0.813 when peritonitis predicted by baseline NLR peritonitis（P<0.01）and the maximal index was 0.595（sensitivity and specificity 71.4% and 88.1% respectively）.The corresponding optimal cut-off point was 3.64.Conclusions Higher serum baseline level of NLR is associated with an elevated risk of PDAP.…”
