Association of systemic immune-inflammation index with asthma and asthma-related events: a cross-sectional NHANES-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Asthma is associated with persistent airway inflammation, and numerous studies have investigated inflammatory markers causing asthma. However, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel inflammatory marker, with scarce research reporting on the correlation between SII and asthma and asthma-related events.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between SII and asthma and asthma-related events (including whether asthma is still present, asthma flare-ups in the past year, and asthma duration) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods

The study utilized data from NHANES 2009-2018 with asthma and asthma-related events as dependent variables and SII as an independent variable. M
