Relationship between systemic immune-inflammation index and long-term all-cause and cause-specific mortality among adult asthma patients: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Persistent inflammation in the airways is a hallmark of asthma, and researchers have extensively explored various inflammatory indicators that contribute to the condition. Despite this, there is limited research on the relationship between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), a novel marker of inflammation, and overall mortality rates as well as mortality rates due to specific causes in individuals with asthma.

Methods

We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) covering a 20-year period, from 1999 to 2018. To examine the association between SII and mortality rates in asthma patients, we used a combination of statistical methods, including weighted Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate-adjusted Cox analysis.
