OBJETIVO: Propor um escore de risco inflamatório para tratamento endovascular dos aneurismas da aorta. MÉTODOS: Vinte e cinco pacientes foram seguidos do período pré-operatório até 3º mês de pós-operatório (1 hora, 6 horas, 24 horas, 48 horas, 7 dias, 1 mês, 2 meses e 3 meses). Variáveis inflamatórias avaliadas foram proteína C reativa, velocidade de hemossedimentação, interleucinas (IL-6, IL8), fator de necrose tumoral alfa, L-selectina, molécula de adesão intercelular (ICAM-1), transfusão de hemáceas, volume de cristalóide, volume de contraste, material da prótese, número de próteses, contagem total de leucócitos e linfócitos. O teste de Spearman apontou as variáveis candidatas ao maior risco inflamatório, segundo P OBJECTIVE: To purpose an inflammatory risk score for aortic aneurysm endovascular treatment. METHODS: Twenty-five patients were followed-up from preoperative period to third month postoperatively (1-hour, 6-hour, 24-hour, 48-hour, 7-day, 1-month, 2- month and 3month). Inflammatory variables were C-reactive protein, hemosedimentation velocity, interleukins (IL-6, IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-Alpha, L-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1), red blood cells transfusion, volume of crystalloid, volume of contrast, type of endoprosthesis, number of endoprostheses, total count of leukocytes and lymphocytes. Spearman test defined the variables considered as candidates to higher inflammatory risk based on P < 20%. Logistic regression defined the variables considered as selected for final score based on P < 10%. ROC curve analysis revealed the cut-off values for variables selected by logistic regression. RESULTS: Variables defined by Spearman test were: volume of crystalloid (P=0.04), type of endoprosthesis (P=0.04), volume of contrast (P=0.02), preoperative IL-8 (P = 0.10), 1 - month ICAM-1 (P=0.03) and 1-month L-selectin (P=0.06). Logistic regression revealed that volume of crystalloid and preoperative IL-8 values are relevant for composition of inflammatory risk score for aortic aneurysm endovascular treatment. Risk score would be divided into three categories (mild, moderate and severe) based on numeric intervals of these two variables and the categories would be correlated to clinical findings. CONCLUSION: Volume of crystalloid and preoperative IL-8 are variables that might contribute to categorize inflammatory risk and thereby might play a prognostic role for aortic aneurysm endovascular treatment.
