Key result
The systemic immune-inflammation index was positively correlated with age and predicted new-onset essential hypertension in women with a sensitivity of 67.6% and specificity of 67.2%.
Why the study?
The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has prognostic value in cardiovascular diseases, but its association with gender and age in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve hypertensive patients was unknown.
Is there an association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and gender or age in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve hypertensive patients?
Population
153 newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve hypertensive patients

Is there an association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and gender or age in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve hypertensive patients?
p-value: p=0.003
The systemic immune-inflammation index is positively correlated with age and may have predictive value for new-onset essential hypertension in women.
Altuntaş et al. (2022) conducted an observational in New-onset essential hypertension (n=153). Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) was evaluated on Prediction of new-onset essential hypertension in women (p=0.003). The systemic immune-inflammation index was positively correlated with age and predicted new-onset essential hypertension in women with a sensitivity of 67.6% and specificity of 67.2%.
