The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics and prognostic value of the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with severe burns. A retrospective study was conducted on 245 burn patients over 18 years old without comorbidity or combined injury, burn extent ≥20% TBSA, hospitalized within 24 hours after burn. The collected criteria included patient characteristics, NLR on admission, 3 and 7 day after burn, and outcome. The results showed that NLR was higher than the normal value at all collected times. In addition, compared to the survivor group, NLR on admission, 3 and 7 day after burn was significantly higher in the mortality group (p <.01). Multivariate analysis found that the NLR on the 7 day postburn was an independent factor associated with mortality (p <.05), along with the increase in age, burn extent, and presence of inhalation injury (AUC = .85; cut off: 14.13; sensitivity: 75% and specificity: 83.43%). In conclusion, NLR on the 7 day post burn may be used as a predictive factor for mortality amongst severe burn patients.
本研究旨在评估严重烧伤患者中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比值(NLR)的特征及预后价值。对245例18岁以上、无合并症或复合伤、烧伤面积≥20%TBSA且在烧伤后24小时内入院的烧伤患者进行了一项回顾性研究。收集的标准包括患者特征、入院时、烧伤后3天和7天的NLR以及结局。结果显示,在所有收集时间点NLR均高于正常值。此外,与存活组相比,死亡组入院时、烧伤后3天和7天的NLR显著更高(p<.01)。多因素分析发现,烧伤后7天的NLR是与死亡率相关的独立因素(p<.05),同时还有年龄增加、烧伤面积和吸入性损伤(AUC=.85;截断值:14.13;敏感性:75%,特异性:83.43%)。总之,烧伤后7天的NLR可作为严重烧伤患者死亡率的预测因素。
