Abstract

Objective: We aimed to assess relationship between the severity of coronary atherosclerosis assessed by SYNTAX score (SS) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI. Methods: After accounting for exclusion criteria, a total of 291 patient with STEMI in whom primary percutaneous coronary intervention was performed were retrospectively included (216 male, 75 female; mean age 61.6+14.0 years). Total and differential leukocyte counts and other biochemical markers were measured at admission. Patients were categorized into tertiles on the basis of SS. Monitoring for major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) was performed during the in hospital follow-up period. Results: The SS high group leukocyte (p=0.009), neutrophil (p=0.008), NLR (p=0.048), peak troponin (p

ST-segment yükselmeli miyokard ınfarktüsünde nötrofil lenfosit oranı ve syntax skoru arasındaki ilişki

Abstract

Amaç: Biz bu çalışmada STEMİ hastalarında nötrofil lenfosit oranı (NLO) ve Syntax skoru (SS) ile değerlendirilen koroner aterosklerozun şiddeti arasındaki ilişkiyi ST yükselmeli miyokard infarktüsü (STEMİ)\'ünde değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Yöntemler: Dışlama kriterleri sonrası primer perkütan koroner girişim uygulanan geriye dönük olarak toplamda 291 STEMI hastası çalışmaya alındı. (216 erkek,75 kadın, ortalama yaş 61,6±14,0 yıl). Toplam ve diferensiyel lökosit sayımı ve diğer biyokimyasal belirteçler hasta kabulünde alındı. Hastalar SS göre üç tertile ayrıldı. Majör istenmeyen kardiyak olaylar (MİKO) için izleme hastanede yatış döneminde yapıldı Bulgular: SSyüksek grup, lökosit (p=0,009), nötrofil (p=0,008), NLO (p=0,048), zirve troponin (p
