Association of neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio with gallstones: a cross-sectional study from the United States NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio (NPAR) is an emerging, costimulatory indicator of inflammation that is associated with a variety of diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between NPAR and gallstones (GS) has not yet been explored. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association of the NPAR with the odds of GS and the age of patients at the time of their first GS surgery.

Methods

Participants were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the United States, a nationally representative survey. Logistic regression analysis and dose-response curve were performed to analyze the relationship between NPAR and th
