Association between systemic inflammatory response index and glaucoma incidence from 2005 to 2008 by Xiang Li, Yi Qing Sun, Xiao Dan Zhong, Zhi Jie Zhang, Jia Feng Tang, Zhan Yang Luo

“…SIRI and other inflammatory indices, including the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), were calculated from blood samples. Logistic regression models were employed to assess the relationship between these indices and glaucoma, adjusting for demographic and health-related variables.ResultsA significant positive association was found between elevated log2SIRI levels and the prevalence of glaucoma (Model 3: OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.07–1.44, p < 0.005). …”
