ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this study was to research the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR), and Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI) for predicting prognosis and mortality in patients with Fournier's gangrene (FG). MATERIAL AND

METHODS:

Patients diagnosed with FG and treated in a tertiary referral hospital in the period from January 2013 to June 2020 were reviewed. LCR, FGSI, and NLR values were calculated.

RESULTS:

Our series included a total of 41 patients. Of the patients, 78% survived and 21.9% (n = 9) died. Survivors were significantly younger than non-survivors (p = 0.009). Hospital costs were higher in non-survivors and close to statistical significance (p = 0.08). The ROC analysis revealed that the FGSI, LCR, and NLR parameters were significant in identifying survivors and non-survivors (AUC = 0.941 [0.870-1.000], p < 0.001; AUC = 0.747 [0.593-0.900], p = 0.025; and AUC = 0.724 [0.548-0.900], p = 0.042).

CONCLUSION:

A low LCR value can be used as a marker to assess mortality and disease severity in patients with Fournier's gangrene.
RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

Investigar el cociente neutrófilos-linfocitos (CNL), el cociente linfocitos-proteína C reactiva (CLP) y el índice de gravedad de la gangrena de Fournier (IGGF) para predecir el pronóstico y la mortalidad en pacientes con gangrena de Fournier (GF).

MÉTODO:

Se revisaron los pacientes diagnosticados de GF y atendidos en un hospital de tercer nivel de referencia en el período de enero de 2013 a junio de 2020. Se calcularon los valores de CLP, IGGF y CNL.

RESULTADOS:

Nuestra serie incluyó 41 pacientes, de los cuales el 78% sobrevivieron y el 21.9% (n = 9) fallecieron. Los supervivientes eran significativamente más jóvenes que los no supervivientes (p = 0.009). Los costes hospitalarios fueron mayores en los no supervivientes y cercanos a la significación estadística (p = 0.08). El análisis ROC reveló que los parámetros IGGF, CLP y CNL fueron significativos para identificar supervivientes y no supervivientes (AUC 0.941 [0.870-1.000], p < 0.001; AUC 0.747 [0.593-0.900], p = 0.025; AUC 0.724 [0.548-0.900], p = 0.042).

CONCLUSIONES:

Un valor bajo de CLP se puede utilizar como marcador para evaluar la mortalidad y la gravedad de la enfermedad en pacientes con GF.
