Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PNI and SII in predicting cirrhosis severity.
Conducted a cross-sectional analysis of patients with cirrhosis
Measured PNI and SII alongside established severity measures
Assessed associations between these indices and MELD/Child-Pugh scores
Both PNI and SII showed significant correlations with cirrhosis severity measures
These indices may enhance the assessment accuracy of MELD and Child-Pugh
Implied need for further research to explore predictive utility in clinical settings

Abstract

PNI and SII exhibit significant associations with established severity measures in cirrhosis. These indices may complement MELD and Child-Pugh by integrating nutritional and inflammatory information into routine assessment. Prospective, externally validated studies are warranted to determine predictive utility and clinical impact.
