The prognostic value of systemic inflammation response index in digestive system carcinomas: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Zuo-hu Niu, Li Lin, Hong-ye Peng, Xin-zhuo Zheng, Mi-yuan Wang, Feng-xia Sun, Chun-jun Xu

“…Elevated SIRI was found to be significantly associated with shorter OS (HR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.70–2.30, tau2 = 0.0966) and poorer PFS (HR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.58–3.53, tau2 = 0.1319), DFS (HR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.61–2.01, tau2 < 0.0001), TTP (HR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.47–2.81, tau2 = 0.0232), and DSS (HR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.46–2.72, tau2 < 0.0001). Furthermore, an increase in SIRI following treatment was linked to reduced OS, TTP, and DFS, while a decrease in SIRI post-treatment corresponded with improved OS, TTP, and DFS compared to baseline levels. …”
