Correlation between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and Hunt-Hess grade of patients with intracranial aneurysm
Objective:To investigate the peripheral blood of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR)levels in patients with intracranial aneurysm(IA)and to assess the risk of IA with the combination of Hunt-Hess grade and NLR. Methods:Totally 220 patients in our hospital from January 2014 to May 2015 were selected in the study and were divided into two groups:127 in ruptured intracranial aneurysm(RIA)group and 93 in unruptured intracranial aneurysm(UIA)group according to rupture. White blood cell(WBC)and its subtypes were obtained from venous blood. NLR was computed by taking the absolute neutrophil count and NLR was divided by the absolute lymphocyte count. The severity of IA was preliminarily evaluated using the Hunt-Hess grade. NLR in the six grades were measured. Correlation between NLR and Hunt-Hess grade was analyzed by Spearman ’s rho correlation analysis. Results:Clinical characteristics were comparable between the two groups(P >0.05). Compared with those of the UIA group
both WBC and NLR in the RIA were significantly higher(P=0.000
P=0.000). Compared with those in Hunt-Hess 0 grade
NLR in Ⅰ-Ⅴ were increased and NLR in Hunt-Hess Ⅲ-Ⅴ grades were higher than those in Ⅰ-Ⅱ grades
respectively(P<0.05). NLR was positively correlated with HuntHess grade(r=0.768
P=0.000). Conclusion:NLR might be associated with the rupture risk of IA;combination of Hunt-Hess grade and NLR might assess the severity of IA and predict its prognosis accurately.
