Background:
The incidence rate of kidney stones increased over the past decades globally, which brought medical expenditure and social burden. The systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) was initially identified as a prognosis of multiple diseases. We performed an updated analysis on the impact of SII on kidney stones.
Methods:
This compensatory cross-sectional study enrolled participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2018. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between SII and kidney stones.
Results:
Of the 22220 participants, the mean (SD) age was 49.45 ± 17.36 years old, with a 9.87% incidence rate of kidney stones. A fully adjusted model showed that SII higher than 330 x 109/L was parallel associated with kidney stones (Odds ratio [OR] = 1.282, 95% Confidence interval [CI] = 1.023 to 1.608, P = 0.034) in adults aged 20-50. However, no difference was found in the elderly subgroup. Multiple imputation analyses confirmed the robustness of our results.
Conclusions:
Our findings suggested SII was positively associated with a high risk of kidney stones in US adults aged less than 50. The outcome compensated for previous studies that still needed more large-scale prospective cohorts for validation.
