Does the Systemic Immune Inflammation Index predict Ambulatory Blood Pressure Variability in newly diagnosed hypertensive adults?
The Systemic Immune Inflammation Index is significantly associated with ambulatory blood pressure variability in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients and may serve as an early predictor of cardiovascular risk.
Effect estimate: r: 0.619
p-value: p=< 0.05
Background: Accumulating evidence from clinical trials, large registries, and meta-analyses of population studies shows that increased Blood Pressure Variability (BPV) is predictive of Cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, independently of the average Blood Pressure (BP) values. One of the mechanisms explaining the relationship between BPV and target organ damage is the inflammatory response. The Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII), which relies on peripheral blood cell counts, including platelets, neutrophils, and lymphocytes, has emerged as a predictor of prognosis and outcomes in various diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the SII with Ambulatory Blood Pressure Variability (ABPV) in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. Methods: This study was designed as a cross-sectional observational study. A total of 1606 consecutive newly diagnosed Hypertension (HT) patients were included in the study. The population was evaluated across 3 different categories according to HT grades (5 groups), eligibility for antihypertensive therapy (2 groups) and ABPV levels (2 groups). Results: Significant differences were observed between ABPV groups in terms of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte ratio, Platelet to Lymphocyte ratio, glucose, SII, high-sensitive CRP, HT grade, Inter-Ventricular Septum, Posterior Wall thickness, and Left Ventricular Mass (p 14 (AUC: 0.788). Conclusions: SII may assist in developing an early treatment approach to minimize complications in patients with high ABPV who are at a higher risk of CV events.
Karaca et al. (Wed,) conducted a cross-sectional in Newly diagnosed hypertension (n=1,606). Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII) was evaluated on Ambulatory Blood Pressure Variability (ABPV) (r: 0.619, p=< 0.05). Systemic Immune Inflammation Index was significantly associated with ambulatory blood pressure variability (r=0.619, p<0.05) and predicted ABPV >14 with an AUC of 0.788.
