Effect of Intraoperative Opioid Dose on Perioperative Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio in Glioma.
BACKGROUND: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) are inflammatory biomarkers. Until now, it is unknown the impact of opioid dosage on perioperative immunity in glioma patients. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of intraoperative opioid dosage on perioperative immune perturbations using NLR and LMR as inflammatory biomarkers and evaluate the correlation between inflammatory biomarkers and pathological grade of glioma.
METHODS: The study included 208 patients with primary glioma who underwent glioma resection from February 2012 to November 2019 at Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital. Complete blood count (CBC) was collected at 3 time points: one week before surgery, and 24 hours and one week after surgery. Patients were divided into high-dose and low-dose groups, based on the median value of intraoperative opioid dose. The relationships between perioperative NLR, LMR and intraoperative opioid dosage were analyzed using repeated measurement analysis of variance (ANOVA). Correlations between preoperative various factors and pathological grade were analyzed by Spearman analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to assess the predictive performance of the NLR and LMR for pathological grade.
RESULTS: The NLR ( P =0.020) and lower LMR ( P =0.037) were statistically significant different between high-dose and low-dose groups one week after surgery. The area under the curve (AUC) of the NLR to identify poor diagnosis was 0.685, which was superior to the LMR (AUC: 0.607) and indicated a correlation between the NLR with pathological grade. The preoperative NLR ( P =0.000), LMR ( P =0.009), age ( P =0.000) and tumor size ( P =0.001) exhibited a significant correlation with the pathological grade of glioma.
CONCLUSION: Intraoperative opioids in the high-dose group were associated with higher NLR and lower LMR in postoperative glioma patients. The preoperative NLR and LMR demonstrated predictive value for distinguishing between high-grade and low-grade gliomas.
