Article Synopsis
- CBC inflammatory markers (CBC-IMs) like NLR, PLR, and SII are linked to cardiovascular health and may impact 5-year survival rates post-carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
- Researchers analyzed 411 patients who underwent CEA from 2004 to 2018, finding that the 5-year survival rate was 79.8%.
- The study indicates that specific CBC-IMs can improve survival prediction models, suggesting they could help in selecting patients for CEA, despite not significantly enhancing overall model accuracy (C-statistic).
Background: Advancements in open and endovascular techniques have brought a widespread indication of revascularization in the majority of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). However, some cases still have a dismal short-term outcome. Identifying preoperative variables that characterize these patients could be important to prevent futile decisions.
