Clinical Significance of the Preoperative Inflammatory Burden Index in Esophageal Cancer.

Oncology, 2023
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The inflammatory burden index (IBI) serves as a prognostic marker for several cancers. Here, we evaluated the predictive value of preoperative IBI associated with the surgical and oncological outcomes of patients with esophageal cancer (EC).

Predictive value of inflammatory burden index in patients with acute myocardial infarction and non-hyperlipidemia

, 2023
Abstract Background The inflammatory burden index (IBI) is a novel indicator to assess the systemic inflammatory response. Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and non-hyperlipidemia still experience major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Association of the inflammatory burden index with the risk of pre-diabetes and diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]

BMC Endocr Disord
This study aims to investigate the association between the Inflammatory Burden Index (IBI) and the prevalence of pre-diabetes (pre-DM) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in the U.S. population from 1999 to 2010. By analyzing relevant data collected during this period, the study seeks to understand IBI's role in the onset of pre-DM and DM and its potential ...
