Predictive significance of neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte and platelet‐to‐lymphocyte for cytomegalovirus infection in infants less than 3 months: A retrospective study
2022
Overview
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of the hematological parameters in the identification of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in infants less than 3 months. Methods A single‐center, observational study of infants with CMV infection was conducted retrospectively. Routine blood parameters were analyzed in CMV‐infected infants and controls with no differences of birthweight, sex, gestational age at birth, and date of admission. Furthermore, receiver‐operating curve was used to assess the predictive value of the hematological parameters for CMV infection. Results One hundred ninety cases with CMV infection were studied retrospectively. Compared with the control group, there were significant differences in the white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, platelet count, hemoglobin, neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte (NLR), platelet‐to‐lymphocyte (PLR), and lymphocyte‐to‐monocyte (LMR) for the patients with CMV infection (all p < 0.001). The best predicted values for CMV infection based on the area under the curve (AUC) were NLR and PLR with the optimal cut‐off value of 0.28 and 65.36. NLR‐PLR score of 0, 1, or 2 based on an elevated NLR (>0.28), an elevated PLR (>65.36), or both. NLR‐PLR score for CMV infection prediction yielded higher AUC values than NLR or PLR alone (0.760 vs. 0.689, 0.689; p < 0.001). Conclusions The NLR combined with PLR is potentially useful as a predictor of CMV infection in infants less than 3 months. NLR‐PLR score for CMV infection prediction yielded higher AUC values than NLR or PLR alone (0.760 vs. 0.689, 0.689; p < 0.001). Therefore, the NLR combined with PLR is potentially useful as a predictor of CMV infection in infants less than 3 months.
