Association of inflammatory score with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with metabolic syndrome: NHANES longitudinal cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammatory scores are known to reflect the systemic inflammatory burden. Despite this, the association between the inflammatory score and the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains poorly understood. To address this gap in the literature, this study investigated this potential association between these two factors.

Methods

A total of 3401 patients with MetS from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2010) were enrolled. Survival status and cause of death were obtained by linking data from the National Death Index (NDI). The inflammatory score was calculated based on the sum of the Z-scores for white blood cell (WBC) count and C-reactive protein (CRP) at baseline. The patients were di
