The relationship of pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) and HALP score with prognosis in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Because earlier studies have proven a link between hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) and pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) scores and inflammation, we examined if these 2 markers had predictive value in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). In the intensive care unit, 444 patients with and without AF were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with and without AF were compared with regard to their HALP and PIV scores. High and low categories of HALP and PIV scores were established based on the cutoff values. Furthermore, using receiver operating characteristic analysis, the mortality predictive efficacy of these scores was assessed in 230 patients with AF. Patients with AF had a significantly higher PIV score than those without AF; however, the HALP score found to be lower (P < .05 for all groups). The receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the HALP score exhibited a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 75.3% at a cutoff value of 2.037 (AUC: 0.753, P < .001). The PIV score cutoff value was 1062.7, but the sensitivity and specificity were both 55.7% and 55.8%, respectively (AUC: 0.571, P < .05). The mechanical ventilation requirement and in-hospital mortality rate were significantly higher in the high PIV (PIV > 1062.7) and low HALP (HALP ≤ 2.037) groups. There is a significant association between the HALP and PIV scores assessed upon admission and critically ill patients with AF. Although the HALP score serves as a powerful prognostic factor for these patients, the PIV lacks the capability to predict mortality.
