Systemic immune-inflammation index as a potential biomarker for predicting acute pulmonary embolism: A systematic review

Abstract

Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a life-threatening condition with a high mortality rate. The pathophysiology involves various complex processes. The systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) is a well-known biomarker that reflects the intricate balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune components. In this systematic review, we aim to determine the significance of SII as a potential biomarker for APE.
