Systemic immune-inflammation index is associated with hepatic steatosis: Evidence from NHANES 2015-2018

ABSTRACT:

Background

As a novel inflammatory marker, Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) has not been studied with hepatic steatosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between SII and hepatic steatosis.

Methods

In the cross-sectional investigation, adults having complete information on SII, hepatic steatosis, and bariatric surgery from the 2015–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included. Hepatic steatosis was evaluated with heaptic steatosis index (HSI). The platelet count × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count was used to compute SII. We investigated the independent interaction between SII and hepatic steatosis using weighted multivariable regression analysis and subgroup analysis. To explore the potential relati
