Prognostic nutritional index and systemic inflammation index as predictors of cirrhosis severity: a cross-sectional study.

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PNI and SII in predicting cirrhosis severity.
• Conducted a cross-sectional analysis of patients with cirrhosis
• Measured PNI and SII alongside established severity measures
• Assessed associations between these indices and MELD/Child-Pugh scores
• Both PNI and SII showed significant correlations with cirrhosis severity measures
• These indices may enhance the assessment accuracy of MELD and Child-Pugh
• Implied need for further research to explore predictive utility in clinical settings
