Abstract

Aim: Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) is a new and easily measurable marker positively associated with inflammation. In this study, we aimed to evaluate if there was a relationship between MHR and the risk of presence of symptomatic plaque in patients with intermediate carotid artery stenosis.


Materials and Methods
: A total of 179 of patients who had 50%-70% stenosis in the carotid artery were included in this retrospective cohort study. Patients were assigned into two groups based on symptomatic (n=104) and asymptomatic (n=75) group. Groups were compared in terms of MHR. Predictive role of MHR for presence of symptomatic plaque was investigated.


Results:
Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio was significantly higher in the symptomatic group (11.40 ± 4.24 vs 18.33 ± 9.06, p < 0.001). Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio > 13.48; had 70.19% sensitivity and 76.0% specificity for prediction of symptomatic plaque (AUC: 0.787, 95% CI: 0.720–0.840, p < 0.001) in patients with intermediate carotid artery stenosis. In a univariate analysis age, gender, hemoglobin, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), smoking, total cholesterol and MHR were significantly associated with presence of symptomatic carotid plaques. Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (OR:1.330, p < 0.001) and hemoglobin (OR:1.441, p = 0.013) were found to be significant independent predictors of symptomatic plaques in the carotid artery in a multivariate analysis, after adjusting for other risk factors.


Conclusion:
MHR plays a moderate role for prediction of symptomatic plaques in the carotid artery.

Abstract

Amaç: Monosit/yüksek yoğunluklu lipoprotein kolesterol oranı (MHR), inflamasyon ile pozitif ilişkili yeni ve kolayca ölçülebilen bir belirteçtir. Bu çalışmada orta düzey karotis arter darlığı olan hastalarda MHR ile semptomatik plak varlığı arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif kohort çalışmaya karotis arterde % 50 - % 70 stenozu olan toplam 179 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalar semptomatik (n =104) ve asemptomatik (n=75) olmasına göre iki gruba ayrıldı. Gruplar MHR açısından karşılaştırıldı. Semptomatik plak varlığı için MHR'nin prediktif rolü araştırıldı.

Bulgular: Semptomatik grupta MHR anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (11.40 ± 4.24'e karşı 18.33 ± 9.06, p <0.001). MHR> 13.48; orta düzey karotis arter darlığı olan hastalarda semptomatik plak (AUC: 0.787, % 95 CI: 0.720-0.840, p <0.001) tahmini için % 70.19 duyarlılığa ve % 76.0 özgüllüğe sahipti. Tek değişkenli analizde; yaş, cinsiyet, hemoglobin, nötrofil sayısı, lenfosit sayısı, nötrofil-lenfosit oranı (NLR), sigara, total kolesterol ve MHR, semptomatik karotis plakların varlığı ile anlamlı derecede ilişkili bulundu. Çok değişkenli regresyon analizinde; diğer risk faktörleri ayarlandıktan sonra, MHR (OR: 1.330, p <0.001) ve hemoglobin (OR: 1.441, p = 0.013) karotis arterdeki semptomatik plakların anlamlı bağımsız prediktörleri olarak bulundu. Sonuç: MHR, karotis arterdeki semptomatik plakların öngörülmesinde orta derecede rol oynarAmaç: Monosit/yüksek yoğunluklu lipoprotein kolesterol oranı (MHR), inflamasyon ile pozitif ilişkili yeni ve kolayca ölçülebilen bir belirteçtir.
