Abstract:
Objective:To explore the correlation of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 314 T2DM patients hospitalized in Tengzhou Central People′s Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were collected and divided into LEAD group (168 cases) and control group (146 cases) according to the results of color Doppler ultrasound of lower extremity arteries. General clinical data were collected. Fasting venous blood samples were collected to detect blood routine and biochemical indicators. NLR and PLR values were calculated. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the NLR and PLR quartiles. The differences of data in each group were analyzed; Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between NLR, PLR and each index; The risk factors of LEAD in T2DM patients were analyzed by logistic regression. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the efficiency of the model predicting LEAD in T2DM patients.Results:The age, white blood cells count (WBC), neutrophil count, NLR, PLR and C-reactive protein (CRP) in LEAD group were significantly higher than those in control group (all P<0.05). With the increase of NLR and PLR quartiles, the age, body mass index, WBC, neutrophils and platelets increased gradually ( P<0.05), and the lymphocytes decreased gradually ( P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that NLR and PLR were positively correlated with age, neutrophils and platelets (all P<0.01), but negatively correlated with lymphocytes (all P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, NLR, PLR, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and CRP were the risk factors of LEAD in T2DM patients (all P<0.01). The area under the curve (AUC) of NLR, PLR, CRP and age were 0.813, 0.683, 0.668 and 0.630, respectively; The sensitivity was 82.49%, 84.37%, 72.58% and 62.87%, respectively. Conclusions:NLR and PLR are closely related to LEAD in T2DM patients. NLR is superior to PLR and CRP in the diagnosis of LEAD.
