Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and systemic immune-inflammation index as prognostic biomarkers for postoperative pneumonia and pulmonary complications after thoracic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Clinical Scorecard: Prognostic Value of Preoperative Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index for Postoperative Pneumonia and Pulmonary Complications Following Thoracic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
At a Glance
Category
Detail
Condition
Key Mechanisms
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as immune-inflammatory biomarkers, as reported in the study.
Target Population
Care Setting
Key Highlights
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Preoperative assessment of NLR and SII may provide additional prognostic information, as suggested by the study.
Management
Consideration of NLR and SII in risk stratification for postoperative pneumonia, as indicated in the study.
Monitoring & Follow-up
Further studies needed to validate NLR and SII as routine monitoring tools, as noted in the study.
Risks
Increased risk of postoperative pneumonia and pulmonary complications associated with higher NLR and SII, as reported in the study.
Patient & Prescribing Data
Adults undergoing thoracic surgery, specifically lung resection or esophagectomy.
NLR and SII are low-cost indices derived from routine blood counts, requiring no additional laboratory costs.
