Association of systemic immune inflammatory index with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in hypertensive individuals: Results from NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between the systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) and the prognosis of hypertensive patients is unclear. This study aims to explore the association of SII with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in patients with hypertension.

Methods

This study included 8524 adults with hypertension from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2011-2018, and followed for survival through December 31, 2019. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the associations between SII and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer. Restricted cubic spline, piecewise linear regression, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were also used.

Results

During a median follow-up of 4.58 years, 872 all-cause
