Abstrakt: Inflammation plays an important role in peripheral artery disease (PAD), contributing to the onset and progression of atherosclerosis, as well as to the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. Studies have revealed that due to their inflammatory nature, leucocytes play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. A retrospective study was conducted involving 203 patients with PAD admitted to Targu Mures Emergency County Hospital for revascularization surgery between January 2017 and June 2019 (of which 47 were treated by endovascular intervention, and 156 underwent classical surgical intervention). Among all patients included in the study, 47 patients required amputation following the revascularization intervention. The results indicated that though the mean patient age in the non-amputation group was higher than that in the amputation group, that the difference was not significant. With regard to sex distribution, 72% of the patients from the amputation group were male, while from the non-amputation group, 74% were male. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) cut-off value for the prediction of amputation in PAD was 3.485 (sensitivity, 60.42%; specificity 72.44%), whereas the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) value was 152, (sensitivity, 54.17%; specificity, 71.79%), and was 2.55 for the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ration (LMR; sensitivity, 56.25%; specificity, 66.88%). The study concluded that in patients with PAD, the NLR and PLR were increased, while the LMR was decreased, which was also associated with a higher rate of amputation after revascularization, despite the lack of correlation between these factors, Fontaine classification and the number of damaged vessels. Therefore, pre-operative alterations in NLR, PLR and LMR may predict the need for amputation in patients with PAD, or those who underwent a revascularization intervention.
