Abstract:
PURPOSE:To examine whether platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is associated with 5-year mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), we performed this study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) through 1999 to 2006. METHODS:3285 patients with CKD stage 1-5 were included. Patients' baseline characteristics were collected. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the association of PLR with 5-year mortality including all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Subgroup analysis was performed. RESULTS:Within 5 years following the date of the NHANES 1999 to 2006 survey participation, 655 (19.94%) deaths were recorded and 207 patients died from cardiovascular disease. A J-shaped association between PLR and 5-year mortality was observed. In adjusted model 2, the elevated PLR Z-score was not significantly associated with a decreased 5-year all-cause mortality risk (HR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.16-1.22) when PLR Z-score < - 0.91 whereas the elevated PLR Z-score was significantly associated with an increased 5-year all-cause mortality risk (HR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.01-1.17) when PLR Z-score ≥ - 0.91. In adjusted model 2, neither the elevated PLR Z-score was significantly associated with a decreased 5-year cardiovascular mortality risk (HR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.36-2.04) when PLR Z-score < - 0.47 nor the elevated PLR Z-score was significantly associated with an increased 5-year cardiovascular mortality risk (HR: 1.12, 95% CI: 0.93-1.34) when PLR Z-score ≥ - 0.47. CONCLUSION:The elevated PLR is independently associated with an increased 5-year all-cause mortality risk among patients with CKD stage 1-5 when PLR ≥ 83.18, indicating that PLR might be a potential biomarker to predict 5-year all-cause mortality in CKD patients.
