Systemic Inflammation Response Index and Systemic Immune-inflammation Index for Prediction of Pregnancy Loss: a Case-control Study

The systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) have recently been investigated as new prognostic markers for obstetric morbidities. However, there are few studies on their predictive role in patients with pregnancy loss. Predicting miscarriages may be useful to support and prevent selected cases.The aim of this study was to investigate the role of SIRI and SII in the prediction of pregnancy loss. A total of 800 patients were included in the retrospective case-control study at a tertiary hospital.Group 1 consisted of 200 patients who had a pregnancy loss for the first time; group 2 consisted of 200 patients with recurrent pregnancy loss; the control group consisted of 400 patients who had a healthy pregnancy. The groups were compared in terms of maternal characteristics, SIRI and SII. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to determine optimal cut-off values for SIRI and SII in predicting pregnancy loss. SIRI and SII were higher in the group with recurrent pregnancy loss than in the control group (p < 0.001).SIRI was higher in the first pregnancy loss group than in the control group (p < 0.001).To predict recurrent pregnancy loss, optimal cut-off values were 1.57 (80% sensitivity, 70% specificity) and 924.12 (74% sensitivity, 57% specificity) for SIRI and SII, respectively. For first pregnancy loss prediction, the optimal cut-off value was 1.38 for SIRI, with 75% sensitivity and 60% specificity. SIRI and SII may be used as inflammatory markers to predict recurrent pregnancy loss. High SIRI values can also help to predict first pregnancy loss.
