ABSTRACT
Background:
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that requires rapid assessment to reduce mortality. This study investigates the relationship between the Neutrophil-to-Monocyte/Lymphocyte Ratio (NMLR) upon ICU admission and 28-day mortality in sepsis patients.Methods:
A retrospective analysis was performed using clinical data from sepsis patients in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV). Multivariate logistic regression, sensitivity analyses, and Restricted Cubic Spline (RCS) models were employed to explore the relationship between ICU admission NMLR and 28-day mortality. Kaplan-Meier method and inverse probability weighting (IPW) were used to adjust for confounders and estimate survival outcomes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve evaluating the predictive value of NLMR for 28-day mortality in ICU sepsis patients. Subgroup analyses considered factors like age, sex, race, comorbidities, and disease severity.Results:
In total, 8,710 patients were included. Increased NMLR was associated with higher 28-day all-cause mortality, confirmed by multiple logistic regression models. In Model 3, after adjusting for confounders, each standard deviation increase in NMLR was associated with a 1.5% increase in 28-day mortality risk. Kaplan-Meier and IPW survival analyses showed higher 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with elevated NMLR levels at ICU admission compared to those with lower levels (p < 0.0001, p = 0.031). RCS models suggested a potential non-linear relationship between NMLR and 28-day mortality. ROC curve for the NMLR model, with an AUC of 0.658 (95% CI 0.642-0.673). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the association even after excluding patients with myocardial infarction and severe liver disease.Conclusion:
Elevated NMLR at ICU admission is significantly associated with increased 28-day all-cause mortality in sepsis patients, suggesting its potential as an early prognostic indicator for risk assessment and intervention.
