Monocyte-to-High-Density Lipoprotein Ratio Is Associated with Systemic Inflammation, Insulin Resistance, and Coronary Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Psoriasis: Results from 2 Observational Cohorts. J Invest Dermatol 2024; 144:2002-2012.e2.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation or insulin resistance drive atherosclerosis. However, they are difficult to capture for assessing cardiovascular risk in clinical settings. The monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) is an accessible biomarker that integrates inflammatory and metabolic information and has been associated with poorer cardiovascular outcomes. Our aim was to evaluate the association of MHR with the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with psoriasis. The study involved a European and an American cohort including 405 patients with the disease. Subclinical atherosclerosis was assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography. First, MHR correlated with insulin resistance through homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, with high-sensitivity CRP and with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in spleen, liver, and bone marrow by positron emission tomography/computed tomography. MHR was associated with both the presence of coronary plaques >50% of the artery lumen and noncalcified coronary burden, beyond traditional cardiovascular risk factors (P < .05). In a noncalcified coronary burden prediction model accounting for cardiovascular risk factors, statins, and biologic treatment, MHR added value (area under the curve base model = 0.72 vs area under the curve base model plus MHR = 0.76, P = .04) within the American cohort. These results suggests that MHR may detect patients with psoriasis who have subclinical burden of cardiovascular disease and warrant more aggressive measures to reduce lifetime adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to explore the correlation between serum monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and other inflammatory parameters with the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in patients. Methods This study included 310 patients who underwent polysomnography monitoring at our hospital between January 2021 and January 2023. Routine blood inflammatory parameters and polysomnography (PSG) results were also evaluated. The differences in inflammatory markers between the OSAHS and normal groups were compared, and OSAHS independent related factors were screened. Results The MLR of OSAHS group was significantly higher than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that MLR is an independent risk factor for OSAHS. Conclusion High MLR was correlated with OSAHS. The diagnostic value of MLR was better than that of the other inflammatory parameters.

Association of the monocytes to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio with in-stent neoatherosclerosis and plaque vulnerability: An optical coherence tomography study. Int J Cardiol 2024; 396:131417. [PMID: 37802300 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2023.131417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) is an independent predictor of atherosclerosis and in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, the association between MHR and the incidence of in-stent neoatherosclerosis (ISNA) remains to be validated. METHODS This study included 216 patients with acute coronary syndrome who had 220 ISR lesions and had undergone optical coherence tomography (OCT). All eligible patients were divided into three groups according to their MHR tertile level. OCT characteristics were comparatively analyzed between groups of different MHR levels, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were constructed to assess correlations between MHR level and ISNA as well as in-stent thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA). A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal MHR thresholds for predicting ISNA and in-stent TCFA. RESULTS The incidence of ISNA (70.3% vs. 61.1% vs. 20.3%, P < 0.001) and in-stent TCFA (40.5% vs. 31.9% vs. 6.8%, P < 0.001) was the highest in the third tertile, followed by the second and first tertiles, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that MHR was independently associated with ISNA (odds ratio [OR], 7.212; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.287-40.416; P = 0.025) and in-stent TCFA (OR, 5.610; 95% CI, 1.743-18.051; P = 0.004) after adjusting for other clinical factors. The area under the curve was 0.745 (95% CI, 0.678-0.811; P < 0.001) for the prediction of ISNA and 0.718 (95% CI, 0.637-0.778; P < 0.001) for the prediction of in-stent TCFA. CONCLUSION MHR levels are an independent risk factor for ISNA.

Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio predicts poor outcomes in ischaemic heart failure patients combined with diabetes: a retrospective study. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:493. [PMID: 37941037 PMCID: PMC10631131 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01451-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of ischaemic heart failure (HF) continues to increase. Diabetes mellitus (DM) concomitant with ischaemic HF increases the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). As a promising predictor for cardiovascular diseases, the predictive value of the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) for MACE in the ischaemic HF with DM cohort has never been investigated before. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the MHR as a predictor for MACE in ischaemic HF patients with DM who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS This observational study enrolled 1049 patients with ischaemic HF and DM undergoing PCI from June 2017 to June 2019. The baseline data were collected. MACEs, including all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and any revascularization, were recorded within the 36-month follow-up. The characteristics and incidence of MACE were analysed in four groups stratified by the quartiles of MHR. The hazard ratio for MACE was analysed with Cox regression models. The incidence of MACE in the four groups was evaluated by Kaplan‒Meier survival analysis. Restricted cubic spline analysis was performed to determine the nonlinear correlation between the MHR and MACE. RESULTS After the 36-month follow-up, 407 patients (38.8%) experienced MACEs. The incidence of MACE was significantly higher among patients in the upper MHR quartile than among those in the lower MHR quartiles (23.4% vs. 36.0% vs. 41.4% and 54.6%; P < 0.001, respectively), which was consistent with the Kaplan‒Meier survival analyses (P < 0.0001). A multivariate Cox regression model showed that the MHR was an independent risk factor for MACE after variables were adjusted (adjusted HR: 2.11; 95% CI 1.47-3.03; P < 0.001). Its predictive effects on MACE showed no interaction with hypercholesterolemia (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The MHR was a significant and independent predictor of MACEs in ischaemic HF patients with DM undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary artery disease (CAD), remains a predominant cause of mortality globally. Factors such as atherosclerosis and inflammation play significant roles in the pathogenesis of CAD. The nexus between inflammation and CAD is underscored by the role of immune cells, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages. These cells orchestrate the inflammatory process, a core component in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. The activation of these pathways and the subsequent lipid, fibrous element, and calcification accumulation can result in vessel narrowing. Hematological parameters derived from routine blood tests offer insights into the underlying inflammatory state. Recent studies have highlighted the potential of inflammatory hematological ratios, such as the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, monocyte/lymphocyte ratio and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio. These parameters are not only accessible and cost-effective but also mirror the degree of systemic inflammation. Several studies have indicated a correlation between these markers and the severity, prognosis, and presence of CAD. Despite the burgeoning interest in the relationship between inflammatory markers and CAD, there remains a paucity of data exploring these parameters in young patients with acute myocardial infarction. Such data could offer valuable insights into the unique pathophysiology of early-onset CAD and improve risk assessment and predictive strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary objective of this study was to explore the association of vitamin D with the monocyte to HDL-C ratio (MHR) among medical staff in Chengdu, China. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study involved 538 medical staff, including 393 females and 145 males, and included data on gender, age, body mass index, and laboratory parameters (including complete blood count, vitamin D levels, lipid, etc.). According to serum 25 (OH)D < 20 ng/ml as vitamin D deficiency, subjects were divided into two groups based on serum 25 (OH)D levels: a vitamin D deficiency group with serum 25 (OH)D < 20 ng/ml and a vitamin D sufficiency group with serum 25 (OH)D ≥ 20 ng/ml. When considering vitamin D as a categorical variable, a multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the risk factors associated with vitamin D deficiency. On the other hand, when examining the factors influencing vitamin D levels as a continuous variable, a multiple linear regression model was utilized. RESULTS The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 86.25% among all the participants. Males exhibited a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency compared to females (β=0.383, P = 0.026). Vitamin D deficiency risk decreased with age (β = 0.910, P < 0.001). Additionally, elevated values of MHR were associated with an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency (β = 1.530, P = 0.019). When treating vitamin D as a continuous variable, the results of multiple linear regression revealed that age (β = 0.342, P < 0.001), and TG (β=-1.327, P = 0.010) were independent influencing factors for vitamin D levels, indicating that vitamin D levels increase with age. A reverse association between MHR and vitamin D levels demonstrated a marginal trend toward significance (β=-0.581, P = 0.052). CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D is inversely associated with MHR among young medical staff in Chengdu, China.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) exhibits significant heterogeneity in terms of etiology and pathophysiology. Several recent studies highlight the significance of inflammation in the onset and progression of IS. White blood cell subtypes, such as neutrophils and monocytes, participate in the inflammatory response in various ways. On the other hand, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) exhibit substantial anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions. Consequently, novel inflammatory blood biomarkers have emerged, such as neutrophil to HDL ratio (NHR) and monocyte to HDL ratio (MHR). Literature research of two databases (MEDLINE and Scopus) was conducted to identify all relevant studies published between 1 January 2012 and 30 November 2022 dealing with NHR and MHR as biomarkers for IS prognosis. Only full-text articles published in the English language were included. Thirteen articles have been traced and are included in the present review. Our findings highlight the utility of NHR and MHR as novel stroke prognostic biomarkers, the widespread application, and the calculation of which, along with their inexpensive cost, make their clinical application extremely promising.

Abstract
In clinical practice, we need to develop new tools to identify the residual cardiovascular risk after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed to evaluate whether the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) variation (ΔMHR) obtained during hospital admission (MHR1) and repeated in the first outpatient evaluation (MHR2) is a predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after ACS. One hundred ninety-one patients admitted for ACS were prospectively included. The ΔMHR was calculated by subtracting MHR1 from MHR2. Patients were followed for 166±38 days in which the occurrence of MACE was observed. The best cutoff for ΔMHR was zero (0), and individuals were divided into two groups: ΔMHR<0 (n=113) and ΔMHR≥0 (n=78). The presence of MACE was higher in the ΔMHR≥0 (22%) than in the ΔMHR<0 (7%), with a hazard ratio (HR) of 3.96 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.74-8.99; P=0.0004). After adjusting for confounders, ΔMHR≥0 remained an independent MACE predictor with an adjusted HR of 3.13 (95%CI: 1.35-7.26, P=0.008). In conclusion, our study showed that ΔMHR was an independent MACE predictor after ACS. Thus, ΔMHR is a potential marker of residual cardiovascular risk after ACS.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Inflammation and atherosclerotic plaques are the primary pathological mechanisms of CAD. Upon stimulation by deposited lipids and damaged endothelium, innate and adaptive immune cells are activated and recruited to initiate plaque development. Therefore, inflammatory cells and mediators are used to identify inflammatory risk in CAD patients. HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) is demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory roles in atherosclerosis by interfering with plasma membrane lipid rafts of immune cells. Based on this, novel inflammatory parameters such as monocyte to HDL-C ratio are explored to improve the risk estimation of CAD prognosis. Moreover, with the advance in treatment strategies targeting the inflammatory process in atherosclerosis, identifying CAD patients with increased inflammatory risk by novel inflammatory parameters is of great importance in guiding CAD management. Therefore, this review aims to summarize the current information regarding inflammatory activation and HDL-C in atherosclerosis with a particular focus on the clinical implication of the novel HDL-C-related inflammatory parameters in CAD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background Monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) has been recently proposed as a parsimonious inflammatory marker. Akin to MHR, hypoalbuminemia (a malnutrition marker) has a considerable proinflammatory potential and confers an accentuated risk of postcardiac surgery complications, like acute kidney injury (AKI). The present study evaluated the AKI-predictive value of the preoperative monocyte/high-density lipoprotein × albumin ratio (MHAR) in diabetic patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).
Methods The retrospective study conducted at our tertiary cardiac care center included 687 diabetic OPCABG patients. Forty-eight hours postoperative data was evaluated for the occurrence of AKI, as defined by the Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria. The perioperative attributes of the AKI and non-AKI groups were compared to evaluate the predictors of AKI, by employing a regression analysis.
Results A total of 109 patients (15.87%) developed AKI postoperatively. On univariate analysis: age, EuroSCORE II, preoperative congestive heart failure, systemic hypertension, serum albumin, MHR, MHAR, intraoperative packed red blood cell transfusion, postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, and vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) predicted AKI. AKI subsequent to multivariate analysis, age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.029), EuroSCORE II (OR: 1.264), MHAR (OR: 1.403), and VIS (OR: 1.07) were the independent predictors (p-values: 0.020, < 0.001, 0.013, 0.002, respectively). The AKI predictive cutoffs of albumin, MHR, and MHAR were ≤ 2.95, ≥ 15.25, and ≥ 4.08 (area under the curve:sensitivity:specificity of 0.761:84.86%:89.62%; 0.754:93.12%:86.68%; 0.798:89.63%:88.34%, respectively). MHAR ≥ 4.08 was also associated with a higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation and major adverse cardiac events.
Conclusion Preoperative elevated MHAR independently predicts AKI following OPCABG in diabetics, implying a malnutrition-inflammation liaison at heart of the matter.

[PMID: 35147839 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-022-03137-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Indole-3-acetic acid is a protein-bound indolic uremic toxin deriving from tryptophan metabolism. Increased levels are associated with higher thrombotic risk and both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. An emerging biomarker of cardiovascular disease is the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR). The main purpose of this study was to investigate the association of indole-3-acetic acid with MHR and other markers of cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We enrolled 61 non-dialysis CKD patients and 6 dialysis patients. Indole-3-acetic acid levels were measured with ELISA technique. RESULTS In the whole cohort of 67 patients, indole-3-acetic acid was directly related to Ca × P (ρ = 0.256; P = 0.0365) and MHR (ρ = 0.321; P = 0.0082). In the 40 patients with previous cardiovascular events, indole-3-acetic acid correlated with uric acid (r = 0.3952; P = 0.0116) and MHR (ρ = 0.380; P = 0.0157). MHR was related with fibrinogen (ρ = 0.426; P = 0.0010), arterial hypertension (ρ = 0.274; P = 0.0251), C-reactive protein (ρ = 0.332; P = 0.0061), gender (ρ = - 0.375; P = 0.0017; 0 = male, 1 = female), and CKD stage (ρ = 0.260; P = 0.0337). A multiple regression analysis suggested that indole-3-acetic acid might be an independent predictor of MHR. CONCLUSION This study shows a significant association between indole-3-acetic acid and MHR. Prospective studies are required to evaluate if decreasing indole-3-acetic acid concentrations may reduce MHR levels and cardiovascular events and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio is considered as a new inflammatory marker and has been used to predict the severity of coronary heart disease and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events (ACEs). However, there is a lack of data relative to large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) ischemic stroke. We investigated whether the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) is related to the 3-month functional prognosis of LAA ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 316 LAA ischemic stroke patients. The 3-month functional outcome was divided into good and poor according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between MHR and prognosis of ischemic stroke. Results: The MHR level of poor functional outcome group was higher than that of the good functional outcome group [0.44 (0.3, 0.55) vs. 0.38 (0.27, 0.5), P = 0.025]. Logistic stepwise multiple regression revealed that MHR [odds ratio (OR) 9.464, 95%CI 2.257–39.678, P = 0.002] was an independent risk factor for the 3-month poor outcome of LAA ischemic stroke. Compared to the lower MHR tertile, the upper MHR tertile had a 3.03-fold increase (95% CI 1.475–6.225, P = 0.003) in the odds of poor functional outcome after adjustment for potential confounders. Moreover, a multivariable-adjusted restricted cubic spline (RCS) showed a positive close to a linear pattern of this association. Conclusion: Elevated MHR was independently associated with an increased risk of poor 3-month functional outcome of patients with LAA ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Background: Chronic inflammation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an essential contributor to the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The monocyte–to–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) is a novel and simple measure related to inflammatory and oxidative stress status. However, little is known regarding the role of the MHR in evaluating the development of DR. Methods: A total of 771 patients with T2DM and 607 healthy controls were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. MHR determination and eye examination were performed. The association of MHR with the prevalence of DR in T2DM patients was analyzed. Results: The MHR in patients with DR was significantly higher than that in both non-DR diabetic patients (P < 0.05) and healthy controls (P < 0.01). No significance was observed in the MHR of different DR severity grades. Moreover, the MHR was similar between patients with non-macular oedema and those with macular oedema. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MHR was independently associated with the prevalence of DR in diabetic patients [odds ratio (OR) = 1.438, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.249–1.655, P < 0.01]. After additional stratification by HbA1c level and diabetic duration, the MHR was still independently associated with the prevalence of DR. Conclusions: Our study suggests that the MHR can be used as a marker to indicate the prevalence of DR in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein–cholesterol ratio (MHR) and the outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 5679 CAD patients from CORFCHD-PCI, a retrospective cohort study (identifier: ChiCTR-ORC-16010153), who underwent PCI were included in the study and divided into three tertiles according to their MHR values. The primary outcome was long-term mortality after PCI. The main secondary endpoints were stroke, readmission, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as the combination of cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, and target vessel reconstruction. The average follow-up time was 35.9 ± 22.6 months. Results: Patients were divided into three groups according to MHR tertiles: the first tertile (MHR < 0.4; n=1290), second tertile (MHR ≥ 0.4–0.61; n=1878) and third tertile (MHR > 0.61; n=1870). The all-cause mortality (ACM) incidence was significantly lower in the first and second tertiles than in the third tertile (adjusted HR = 0.658, [95% CI: 0.408–0.903], P=0.009 and HR = 0.712, [95% CI: 0.538–0.941], P=0.017, respectively). Cardiac mortality (CM) occurred in 235 patients: 60 (3.1%) in the first tertile group, 74 (3.9%) in the second tertile group and 101 (5.4%) in the third tertile group. There was a significant difference in the CM incidence between the first tertile group and the third tertile group (HR = 0.581, [95% CI: 0.406–0.832], P=0.003), and there was also a difference in the CM incidence between the second tertile group and the third tertile group (HR = 0.690, [95% CI: 0.506–0.940], P=0.019). Conclusion: The present study indicated that an increased MHR was independently associated with long-term mortality in CAD patients who have undergone PCI.

Abstract
Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is linked to an altered lipid profile. Monocytes play an important role in inflammation and lipid metabolism. Recently, monocyte percentage to HDL-cholesterol ratio (MHR) has emerged as a novel marker of inflammation. We investigated the association between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and MHR and serum lipids in young healthy adults. Data from the Qatar Biobank were utilized to investigate the relation between serum 25(OH)D and inflammation and serum lipid concentrations in healthy Qatari adults using multivariate regression analysis. Prevalence of serum 25(OH)D concentrations <12 ng/mL (deficiency), 12-20 ng/mL (insufficiency), and ≥20 ng/mL (sufficiency) were 55.8%, 29.9%, and 14.3%, respectively. Serum 25(OH)D was significantly inversely associated with monocyte percentage, MHR, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triacylglycerol in multivariable adjusted analysis. MHR could be a potential biomarker to predict cardiometabolic diseases among young healthy Qataris.

Abstract
Background The clinical value of monocyte count to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) in in-stent restenosis (ISR) of patients who have undergone bare metal stent implantation has been studied. However, the predictive value of MHR in ISR for patients who have undergone drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation has not been explored. Methods Non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients who had undergone DES implantation and coronary angiography follow-up at the Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2018, were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into ISR and non-ISR groups depending on the follow-up coronary angiography results. Relative clinical information was recorded and analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the optimum cut-off pre-procedural MHR to predict ISR. Results A total of 214 patients were enrolled in our study. The mean period between two coronary angiography procedures was 25.4±9.8 months. Percutaneous coronary intervention due to NSTE myocardial infarction, a bifurcation lesion, increased platelet count, and a high MHR were the independent risk factors in multivariate logistic regression analyses. Conclusion Our results indicated that elevated MHR is an independent and useful predictor of ISR in NSTE-ACS patients who have undergone DES implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) has been used to predict adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic utility of MHR in patients with ACS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We comprehensively searched for relevant studies in Pubmed, Embase, CNKI, WanFang and VIP databases until March 12, 2019. Epidemiologic studies investigating the association between MHR and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or all-cause mortality in patients with ACS were included. Pooled effect was expressed as risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the highest versus the reference lower MHR group. RESULTS Eight studies involving 6,480 patients with ACS were included and analyzed. Meta-analysis indicated that the highest MHR was significantly associated with higher risk of MACE (RR 1.65; 95%CI 1.36-2.02) and all-cause mortality (RR 2.61; 95%CI 1.29-4.89) after adjusting for the conventional confounders. The prognostic values of MACE with the highest MHR caused no significant changes in the in-hospital follow-up (RR 1.76; 95%CI 1.34-2.32) and >6 months follow-up (RR 1.68; 95%CI 1.08-2.62) subgroups. Furthermore, ST elevation myocardial infarction patients with the highest MHR had a 2.07-fold higher risk of in-hospital MACE (RR 2.07; 95%CI 1.52-2.80). CONCLUSIONS Elevated MHR is independently associated with an increased risk of MACE and all-cause mortality in patients with ACS. MHR may serve as a potential prognostic indicator for ACS prognosis.

Abstract
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is attributed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) induced inflammation. As a new inflammatory biomarker of CVD, monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) has received little attention in OSA studies to date. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the correlation between MHR and concomitant CVD in Chinese Han patients with OSA. Methods A total of 657 Chinese Han subjects (169 controls, 145 mild, 94 moderate, and 249 severe OSA) of both genders were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, with an average BMI of 32.35±6.56 kg/m2. The relationship between MHR and concomitant CVD in OSA patients was analyzed. Results The level of MHR was correlated positively with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), while negatively with lowest SpO2 (P<0.01). Moreover, the MHR values were higher in OSA patients with CVD than those without CVD (17.64±7.16 vs. 12.73±5.06, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MHR is an independent predictor of CVD (OR =1.190, P<0.001). The ROC analysis indicated that the best cut-off value of MHR for predicting CVD in OSA patients was 15.364 (sensitivity 65.0%, specificity 74.4%), while its cutoff value for identifying CVD in severe OSA patients was 15.362 (sensitivity 67.3%, specificity 80.1%). Conclusions MHR is strongly correlated with the severity of OSA and the occurrence of CVD in OSA patients. As an easy and available test, MHR is expected to be a promising biomarker candidate in predicting CVD in Chinese Han patients with OSA.
