%X UNASSIGNED: The Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII), as a novel inflammation biomarker that comprehensively reflects the inflammatory and immune status of the body, has not been reported in studies on Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children. This study aims to investigate whether SII can serve as an effective indicator for evaluating the condition of MPP.
UNASSIGNED: This study recruited a total of 304 hospitalized patients with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP), including 78 patients with severe MPP (SMPP) and 226 patients with non-SMPP. Univariate analysis using chi-square test, t-test, and Mann-Whitney U-test was conducted to analyze the clinical data of the patients. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the main risk factors for SMPP. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to evaluate the potential of using neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic immune response index (SIRI) to predict the severity of MPP.
UNASSIGNED: The ROC curve results show that patients with SII values ≥ 699.00 are more likely to develop severe MPP (sensitivity=0.876, specificity=0.987, AUC=0.940), and the predictive value of SII is significantly better than that of NLR, PLR, and SIRI. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicate that SII can serve as a major risk factor for distinguishing non-SMPP from SMPP.
UNASSIGNED: This study suggests that SII may be an effective indicator for predicting the severity of MPP in children. SII is more sensitive and specific than NLR, PLR, and SIRI in evaluating the condition of MPP.
