The systemic inflammation markers as possible indices for predicting respiratory failure and outcome in patients with myasthenia gravis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to explore the relationship between systemic inflammation markers and clinical activity, respiratory failure, and prognosis in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG).

Methods

One hundred and seventeen MG patients and 120 controls were enrolled in this study. Differences in the four immune-related markers of two groups based on blood cell counts: neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were measured. The stability of the associations between systemic inflammation markers and respiratory failure in MG patients was confirmed by adjusted logistic regression analysis. Moreover, Kaplan-Meier curve and multivariate COX regression models were ap
