Table 6 Summary of studies on the prognostic role of LRINEC in NF patients
Study | Country | Design | Results |
|---|---|---|---|
Su et al. [5] | Taiwan | Retrospective study (2002–2005) N = 209 | Patients with a LRINEC score of ≥6 have a higher rate of both mortality and amputation. |
Corbin et al. [12] | France | Prospective study N = 50 | The rate of complications was higher for patients with a LRINEC score > 6 than for patients with a score < 6. |
Swain et al. [14] | UK | Retrospective study (2006–2011) N = 15 | Overall mortality was 3 out of 15 patients. The median LRINEC score in all deaths was 9.0 (range: 6–12). |
Bozkurt et al. [16] | Turkey | Retrospective study (2008–2013) N = 33 | Patients with higher LRINEC scores were more likely to require mechanical ventilation and longer hospitalization times and were more likely to die |
COLAK et al. [15] | Turkey | Retrospective study (2008–2013 N = 25 | The mean number of debridements and LRINEC score were higher in the non-surviving group (p = 0.003 and p = 0.003, respectively). |
El-Menyar et al. 2017 | Qatar | Retrospective study 2000–2013 N = 294 | LRINEC ≥6 had greater SOFA score (11.5 ± 3 vs 8 ± 2) septic shock (37% vs 15%), prolonged hospital length of stay and deaths (p < 0.001 for all) |
