Calculates the aggregate index of systemic inflammation from neutrophils, monocytes, platelets and lymphocytes.
Overview
Calculates the aggregate index of systemic inflammation from neutrophils, monocytes, platelets and lymphocytes.
Clinical Significance
An investigational inflammatory index. It should be interpreted only within a validated disease-specific context.
How It Is Calculated
- AISI = neutrophils × monocytes × platelets / lymphocytes.
Interpretation
- An investigational inflammatory index. It should be interpreted only within a validated disease-specific context.
Worked Example
Enter a clinically consistent set of values in the displayed units. MedicalC applies: AISI = neutrophils × monocytes × platelets / lymphocytes.
Limitations
- This tool does not establish a diagnosis or mandate treatment.
- Published cut-offs may vary between cohorts and measurement methods.
- Calculation precision cannot compensate for poor source data.
Clinical Pearls
- Trend the result over time where clinically appropriate.
- Record the source values and units alongside the calculated result.
Common Mistakes
- Using the wrong unit.
- Combining measurements obtained at different times.
- Applying a research-derived threshold as a universal treatment trigger.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this calculator provide?
