Predicting severity of inpatient acute cholangitis: combined neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and prognostic nutritional index.

ABSTRACT: The indicators for rapid assessment of the severity of acute cholangitis remain highly debated. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of various inflammatory and immune-nutritional markers in predicting the severity of acute cholangitis. The prognostic roles of the following markers were investigated: Systemic Immune-Inflammatory Index (SII), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Albumin (Alb), and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI). A total of 139 patients with acute cholangitis were included in the study. The inflammatory and immune-nutritional markers with better predictive efficacy were selected to construct a combined predictive score. According to the survival ROC curve analysis, the combined NLR and PNI score, termed PNS, demonstrat
