Abstract:

Objective

To explore the predictive effect of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio(NPAR) on all-cause mortality in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on 100 MHD patients admitted to the Blood Purification Center of Nanjing Central Hospital from November 2014 to November 2020. The patients were divided into high NPAR and low NPAR groups based on the median NPAR. Baseline clinical data, laboratory indicators, NPAR,neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and monocyte/HDL ratio were collected and compared between the two groups.The risk factors of all-cause mortality in the MHD patients were analyzed by COX regression analysis. The survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and receiver operating characteristics(ROC) curves were used to assess the predictive effect of relevant indicators for all-cause death in the MHD patients.

Results

The follow-up at the end of the study disclosed that 76 patients survived and 24 patients died. The age of patients in the survival group was lower than that in the death group (P <0. 001).Compared with the death group, the survival group showed lower levels of diabetes mellitus complication,neutrophil percentage, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, NPAR, C-reactive protein, and monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio (all P <0. 05), but showed higher level of high-density lipoprotein (P = 0. 006).Multivariate Cox regression model analysis showed that age increase (HR=1.089, 95%CI: 1.042-1.139,P <0.001), diabetes complication (HR =5.365, 95%CI: 1.957-14.706, P =0.001), NPAR increase(HR=4.196,95%CI:1.409-12.496, P=0.01), and C-reactive protein increase (HR =1.169, 95%CI:1.048-1. 304, P = 0.005) were independent risk factors for the all-cause death in the MHD patients.Compared with the low NPAR group,the overall survival rate of the high NPAR group was lower (χ2 =19.094,P <0.001). For predicting the all-cause mortality in the MHD patients, the areas under the ROC curves of NPAR, C-reactive protein, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio were 0.766 (95%CI:0.659-0.874, P <0.001), 0.682(95%CI:0.560-0.804,P =0.007), 0.650(95%CI:0.508-0.792,P=0.027), and 0.694(95%CI:0.581-0.808,P=0.004), respectively.

Conclusion

NPAR has a certain clinical predictive effect on the all-cause mortality in the MHD patients.
