Abstract
BACKGROUND The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) are emerging inflammatory markers related to cardiovascular outcomes. This study investigated their relationships with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality among individuals with prediabetes or diabetes and assessed their predictive roles. METHODS A cohort of 6871 individuals with diabetes or prediabetes from the NHANES (2001-2018) was included. Weighted multivariate logistic regression models assessed NLR and SII associations with CVD risk, while survey-weighted Cox proportional hazards models evaluated their links to mortality. The predictive accuracy of the biomarkers for mortality was quantified by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS Individuals in the higher NLR and SII groups exhibited a high incidence of CVD. A total of 1146 deaths occurred throughout an average follow-up duration of 191 months, of which 382 were caused by CVD. Participants with higher NLR markedly increased the risk of all-cause (HR = 1.82) and cardiovascular mortality (HR = 2.07). A similar result was observed in the higher SII group. RCS analysis identified a linear correlation between NLR and CVD risk and mortality (p > 0.05), while SII showed a nonlinear correlation (p < 0.05). ROC results demonstrated that NLR exhibited a higher predictive ability in mortality than SII. CONCLUSIONS Elevated levels of NLR and SII correlated with an increased risk of CVD and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with diabetes or prediabetes. The NLR appears to be particularly valuable for assessing risk and predicting outcomes in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased levels of inflammatory markers have been found in association with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis. Systemic immuneinflammation index (SII), which is calculated by multiplying neutrophil and platelet counts and then dividing the result by the lymphocyte count, can also be used as a prognostic indicator in different cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated SII levels and long-term mortality of patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). METHODS This is an observational, single-center study. Two hundred-eight patients who underwent coronary angiography for NSTEMI were included in the study. Patients were divided into 3 tertiles based on SII levels. We researched the relationship between level level and 1, 3 and 5 years mortality (NSTEMI). RESULTS One-year mortality of the patients was significantly higher among patients in the upper SII tertile when compared with the lower and middle SII tertile groups [11 (15.9%) vs. 2 (2.9%) and 6 (8.7%); P = 0.008, P = 0.195, respectively). Three-year mortality of the patients was significantly higher among patients in the upper SII tertile when compared with the lower and middle SII tertile groups [21 (30.4%) vs. 5 (7.1%) and 12 (17.4%); P < 0.001, P = 0.072, respectively). Five-year mortality of the patients was significantly higher among patients in the upper SII tertile when compared with the lower and middle SII tertile groups [26 (37.7%) vs. 8 (11.4%) and 15 (21.7%); P < 0.001, P = 0.040, respectively). CONCLUSION Our study showed that NSTEMI patients with higher SII had worse long-term mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ratio of platelets to lymphocytes (PLR) can serve as a potential biomarker for predicting the prognosis of individuals with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). AIM The purpose of the research was to evaluate the in-hospital outcomes of AMI patients and the predictive significance of PLR on major adverse cardiac events (MACE). METHODS A total of 799 AMI patients who had successful primary PCI within 12 h of the onset of chest pain were separated into low PLR (n = 511) and high PLR (n = 288) groups using a PLR cutoff value of 178. At admission, total white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts were assessed. RESULTS In patients with a high PLR group with PLR > 178, the incidence of MACE: heart rupture, acute heart failure, total adverse events, and mortality due to all events was considerably greater. In an analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve, a high PLR > 178 accurately predicted adverse outcomes (73% specificity and 65% sensitivity). Age, hypertension, and PLR were found as independent predictors of adverse outcomes by multiple logistic regression. CONCLUSIONS AMI patients with high PLR had poor hospital outcomes. These findings recommend PLR as an independent risk factor for hospital-acquired complications, suggesting that inflammation and prothrombotic state may contribute to the poor prognosis of high PLR patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), one of the composite biomarker of systemic inflammatory status, was proved promising in predicting clinical outcomes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, there were no evidences that NLR was directly relative to the clinical outcomes of unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Therefore, this study was aimed to detect whether NLR could predict the coronary artery lesion severity (indicated as SYNTAX score) and clinical outcomes (especially long-term cardiovascular mortality) in patients with. METHODS In the single-centre retrospective study, 4110 patients with UAP were enrolled and divided into two groups according to their primary NLR values and followed up at a median time duration of 36 months. The differences of SYNTAX score and cardiovascular mortality between groups were analysed, and the predictive value of NLR was determined. RESULTS NLR was positively and linearly correlated with SYNTAX score (r = 0.270). Diabetes (p = 0.049), lymphocyte (p = 0.004), NLR (p = 0.002) and SYNTAX score (p < 0.001) were independent predictors of long-term cardiovascular mortality in patients with UAP. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed higher occurrence of cardiovascular mortality when NLR > 2.38 (p = 0.015). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that NLR = 2.76 is an effective cut point for predicting cardiovascular mortality (69.2% sensitivity, 64.8% specificity). CONCLUSIONS NLR value was positively related to the severity of coronary artery lesion and proved to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in patients with UAP. This study would contribute to therapy and prognosis optimisation of UAP.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to reveal the predictive power of biomarkers and SYNTAX (SX) score for short-term mortality in patients diagnosed with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in the emergency department. This is prospective observational cohort study. Demographic characteristics of the patients, laboratory parameters on admission, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) percentages, affected vessels in angiography (CAG) and the treatment strategy [medical therapy, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), coronary angio by-pass graft] and SX scores were recorded on the data collection form. ROC curve was used to investigate the predictivity of blood urea nitrogen/albumin ratio (BAR), procalcitonin, C-reactive protein (CRP), high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (Hs-cTnI), CRP to serum albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and SX scores in mortality. Multivariate analysis of biomarkers and SX score was performed to estimate the patients' 30-day mortality. Of the 415 patients were included in the study. ROC analysis of BAR, CAR, CRP, Procalcitonin, Hs-cTnI, NLR and SX score to predict mortality was statistically significant. BAR (OR: 1.280, 95% CI: 1.113-1.472, p = .001) and SX score (OR: 1.071, 95% CI: 1.018-1.126, p = .007) were found to be independent predictors of 30 days mortality. LVEF reduction, SX score, the number of affected vessels and the frequency of LMCA lesions increase were found to be statistically significant in patients with BAR ≥4.8. BAR, which can be calculated easily and quickly on admission to the emergency department and in clinical practice, may be used to predict mortality in patients with NSTEMI.

Abstract
Introduction: Considering the role of inflammation in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, we aimed to investigate the association of presentation neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with complexity of coronary artery lesions determined by SYNTAX score in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Methods: From March 2018 to March 2019, we recruited 202 consecutive patients, who were hospitalized for NSTE-ACS and had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention in our hospital. The association of presentation NLR with SYNTAX score was determined in univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis. Results: Higher NLR was significantly associated with higher SYNTAX score (beta = 0.162, P = 0.021). In addition, older age, having hypertension, higher TIMI score, and lower ejection fraction on echocardiographic examination were significantly associated with higher SYNTAX score. TIMI score had the largest beta coefficient among the studied variables (TIMI score beta = 0.302, P < 0.001). In two separate multivariate linear regression models, we assessed the unique contribution of NLR in predicting SYNTAX score in patients with NSTE-ACS. In the first model, NLR was significantly contributed to predicting SYNTAX score after adjustment for age, sex, and hypertension as covariates available on patient presentation (beta = 0.142, P = 0.040). In the second model, NLR was not an independent predictor of SYNTAX score after adjustment for TIMI score (beta = 0.121, P = 0.076). Conclusion: In NSTE-ACS, presentation NLR is associated with SYNTAX score. However, NLR does not contribute significantly to the prediction of SYNTAX score after adjustment for TIMI score. TIMI risk score might be a better predictor of the SYNTAX score in comparison to NLR.

Abstract
Background: Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diseases such as atherosclerosis and other inflammatory disorders. The inflammatory markers impose a considerable cost on the health system. Recently, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been shown to be involved in the prediction of coronary artery disease (CAD). Objectives: This study was conducted to clarify the potential relationship between NLR and the inflammatory extent of CAD. Materials and Methods: Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or stable angina who underwent primary or elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), respectively, were included in this cross-sectional study. Patients with hematologic disorders, recent or active infectious or inflammatory diseases, history of malignancy, and history of treatment with immunosuppressive drugs were excluded from the study. Gensini and SYNTAX scores were calculated for each patient as an indicator of the extent of CAD. Demographic and clinical characteristics were obtained through a questionnaire and NLR was calculated using laboratory results. Results: A total of 446 patients (223 patients in each group) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. NLR had a significant relationship with Gensini score in both stable angina and STEMI patients. Gensini and SYNTAX scores correlated significantly with NLR; however, the correlation was weaker for SYNTAX score. After adjustment for confounding factors, including age and hypercholesterolemia, only one trend remained for the Gensini scores. Conclusion: NLR showed a stronger correlation with Gensini score than SYNTAX score. Our findings are in accordance with previous studies, which show that NLR has a relationship with the extent of CAD. Further studies are required for reaching a definite conclusion. The idea of this study may be useful for the investigation of other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Background The intensity of the inflammatory response and hemodynamic repercussion in acute myocardial infarction causing the presence in the peripheral circulation of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs), increases in mean platelet volume (MPV) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are associated with a poorer prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess the role of these hematological biomarkers as predictors of all causes of mortality during the hospitalization of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods Nucleated red blood cells, mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio were measured daily during the hospitalization of the patients with acute myocardial infarction. We excluded patients younger than 18 years, on glucocorticoid therapy, with cancer or hematological diseases and those that were readmitted after hospital discharge. We performed a multiple logistic analysis to identify independent predictors of mortality. Results We included 466 patients (mean age 64.2 ± 12.8 years, 61.6% male). The prevalence of NRBCs in the sample was 9.1% (42 patients), with levels > 200/μL in 27 patients (5.8%). The mean MPV value was 10.9 ±0,9 and the mean NLR value was 3.71 (2,38; 5,72). In a multivariate analysis of serum NRBCs (HR 2.42, 95% CI: 1.35–4.36, p = 0.003), MPV (HR 2.97, 95% CI: 1.15–7.67, p = 0.024) and NLR (HR 5.02, 95% CI: 1.68–15.0, p = 0.004). The presence in the peripheral blood of NRBCs, increased in mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio were associated with higher mortality. Conclusions Nucleated red blood cells, mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio are independent predictors of intrahospital mortality. Therefore, an important tool in intrahospital clinical surveillance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) might be associated with the mortality or major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the correlation between NLR and mortality/MACEs in ACS. METHODS We assessed clinical trials through Pubmed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and Web of science in investigating the association between NLR and mortality/MACEs in ACS patients up to August 15, 2017. The primary outcome was mortality or recurrent MACEs. RESULTS In total, 8 studies of 9406 patients were included in the systematic and meta-analysis. Our analysis indicated that elevated pretreatment NLR was a poor prognostic marker for patients with recent ACS in predicting medium to long-term mortality/MACEs (OR 1.26, 95%CI 1.13-1.41). And the analysis indicated that higher pretreatment NLR value was associated with higher in-hospital mortality in ACS patients (OR 6.39, 95%CI 1.49-27.38, p<0.001). The NLR value of 5.0 maybe a cut-off value for ACS risk. CONCLUSIONS In patients with a recent ACS, an elevated pretreatment NLR value is effective in predicting the risk of mortality/MACEs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum annexin A5 (anxA5) level is significantly increased in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Hematological indices are significantly increased in patients with ischemic heart disease. This study aimed to demonstrate the changes in the distribution of blood cells and the levels of anxA5 in patients presented with significant low ejection fraction ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) in comparison with corresponding patients with ischemic heart disease. METHODS Patients with low ejection fraction presenting at Hospital of Diyala University of Iraq were enrolled. Electrocardiograph (ECG), echocardiograph, hematological indices, serum annexin V (anxV) levels and the determinants of the cardio-metabolic risk factors were performed. Based on clinical examination, ECG findings and laboratory tests, patients were divided into healthy subjects (n=20); patients with acute MI (n=40) and with chronic MI (n=12). RESULTS Acute MI has significant high levels of serum triglyceride, uric acid and high mean value of red cell distribution width (RDW) compared with healthy subjects and chronic MI. Platelet distribution width (PDW) is significantly reduced in patients of acute MI and chronic MI compared with healthy subjects, whereas the plateletcrit (PCT) is significantly higher in acute MI compared with healthy subjects. There is an insignificant difference between the means of serum anxA5 levels of acute MI (35.6±7.2ng/ml) and chronic MI (32.4±8.9ng/ml), but significantly higher than the cutoff level of the healthy subjects (5ng/ml). CONCLUSIONS Measurement of serum annexin level is a useful diagnostic marker of acute or chronic MI with low ejection fraction.
