Abstract
Aim: Myocarditis, an inflammatory disease of the myocardium, can range from asymptomatic cases to severe forms such as fulminant myocarditis. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has emerged as a potential biomarker for various inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to determine the effect of SII on the prognosis of young adults with acute myocarditis and compare it with other cardiac markers.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients aged 18-40 years who were admitted to the emergency department with a diagnosis of acute myocarditis between January 2014 and January 2024. Patients were divided into non-fulminant and fulminant myocarditis groups based on diagnostic criteria.Results: SII, troponin I and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels were significantly higher in the fulminant myocarditis group (p < 0.001 for all). Logistic regression analysis identified SII and NT-proBNP as independent predictors of fulminant myocarditis but not for troponin I (p = 0.064). The optimal cutoff value for SII in diagnosing fulminant myocarditis was 1020, with a sensitivity of 91% and specificity of 83%, outperforming troponin I. Patients with SII ≥1020 had a significantly higher risk of adverse outcomes.Conclusion: The SII enables early detection of adverse outcomes and is an independent predictor of prognosis in young adults with myocarditis.
期刊介绍：
Biomarkers are physical, functional or biochemical indicators of physiological or disease processes. These key indicators can provide vital information in determining disease prognosis, in predicting of response to therapies, adverse events and drug interactions, and in establishing baseline risk. The explosion of interest in biomarker research is driving the development of new predictive, diagnostic and prognostic products in modern medical practice, and biomarkers are also playing an increasingly important role in the discovery and development of new drugs. For the full utility of biomarkers to be realized, we require greater understanding of disease mechanisms, and the interplay between disease mechanisms, therapeutic interventions and the proposed biomarkers. However, in attempting to evaluate the pros and cons of biomarkers systematically, we are moving into new, challenging territory.
Biomarkers in Medicine (ISSN 1752-0363) is a peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal delivering commentary and analysis on the advances in our understanding of biomarkers and their potential and actual applications in medicine. The journal facilitates translation of our research knowledge into the clinic to increase the effectiveness of medical practice.
As the scientific rationale and regulatory acceptance for biomarkers in medicine and in drug development become more fully established, Biomarkers in Medicine provides the platform for all players in this increasingly vital area to communicate and debate all issues relating to the potential utility and applications.
Each issue includes a diversity of content to provide rounded coverage for the research professional. Articles include Guest Editorials, Interviews, Reviews, Research Articles, Perspectives, Priority Paper Evaluations, Special Reports, Case Reports, Conference Reports and Company Profiles. Review coverage is divided into themed sections according to area of therapeutic utility with some issues including themed sections on an area of topical interest.
Biomarkers in Medicine provides a platform for commentary and debate for all professionals with an interest in the identification of biomarkers, elucidation of their role and formalization and approval of their application in modern medicine. The audience for Biomarkers in Medicine includes academic and industrial researchers, clinicians, pathologists, clinical chemists and regulatory professionals.
