Objective To evaluate the predictive value of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and complement 3 in the therapeutic outcomes of systemic lupus erythematosus-associated immune thrombocytopenia (SLE-ITP). Methods Clinical data from 72 patients diagnosed with SLE-ITP and admitted to the Affiliated Central Hospital of Dalian University of Technology between January 2013 and September 2024 were collected and analyzed. Associations between therapeutic outcomes and clinical characteristics, as well as laboratory findings including SII and NLR, were evaluated systematically. Results The patients achieved complete remission (CR) 32 (44.4%), partial remission (PR) 19 (26.4%), and no remission (NR) 21 (29.2%). SII exhibited statistically significant differences among the three groups ( P =0.027). The median SII values were 145.7 (43.7-238.7) for the CR group, 57.2 (20.5-90.2) for the PR group, and 117.8 (80.7-238.6) for the NR group. Additionally, complement 3 levels were significantly lower in the CR group compared to the PR and NR groups ( P =0.010). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the NLR was positively correlated with therapeutic efficacy (OR=1.982, 95% CI: 1.18-3.33, P =0.010). SII and complement 3 were significantly negatively correlated with therapeutic outcomes (SII: OR=0.991, 95% CI: 0.984-0.998, P =0.011; C3: OR=0.045, 95% CI: 0.002-0.919, P =0.044). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined predictive model of N...
