Abstract

Objective
To investigate the predictive value of serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), prognostic nutritional index (PNI) score, hepatic encephalopathy (HE) grading, and the integrated model for end-stage liver disease (iMELD) score in assessing the short-term (90-day) prognosis of patients with cirrhosis complicated by overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE).
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 470 patients with cirrhosis and overt HE, and they were divided into survival group (n=359) and mortality group (n=111) based on their survival status 90 days after admission. The PNI and iMELD scores were calculated using patient demographics, blood routine tests, coagulation function, liver and renal function electrolyte levels, and serum NSE levels within 24 hours of admission, along with HE grading. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were employed to evaluate influencing factors of short-term prognosis of patients with cirrhosis and overt HE.
Results
The mortality group exhibited significantly higher serum NSE levels, HE grades, and iMELD scores, while demonstrated lower PNI score compared to the survival group (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified serum NSE, PNI score, HE grade, and iMELD score as independent predictors of short-term prognosis. The areas under the curve (AUCs) for serum NSE, PNI score, HE grade, and iMELD score in predicting short-term prognosis were 0.727, 0.717, 0.721, and 0.728, respectively, with cut-off values of 12.23 ng/mL, 34.05 ng/mL, and 39.26 points for serum NSE, PNI score, and iMELD score. A combined prediction model of four factors demonstrated the highest predictive performance, with an AUC of 0.919 and a cut-off value of 0.23. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with combined score of serum NSE, PNI score, HE grade, and iMELD cut-off value < 0.23 had a significantly higher 90-day survival rate compared to those with cut-off value≥0.23 (Log-Rank=265.567, P < 0.001).
Conclusion
Serum NSE, PNI score, HE grade, and iMELD score exhibit good value in predicting the short-term prognosis of patients with cirrhosis and overt HE, with an even higher predictive value when used in combination.
