Trajectories of systemic immune inflammation index and mortality risk in patients with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury: a retrospective cohort study by Zhiyong Tang, Zhiyong Tang, Canlin Liao, Zerui Zhuang, Zhennan Xu, Mingfa Liu, Haixiong Xu

“…Compared to patients in Group 1, those in Groups 2 and 3 had a higher risk of all-cause hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR] 4.09; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21, 19.75) and (OR 5.84; 95% CI 1.52, 30.67), respectively. ROC analysis revealed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.838, sensitivity: 75.0%, and specificity: 83.8% for mortality in this cohort.ConclusionThis study identified three distinct SII trajectories, suggesting that post-TBI SII trajectories are heterogeneous patterns associated with mortality. …”
