Abstract
The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) have previously demonstrated predictive value in coronary artery disease (CAD). We developed on an expanded, novel systemic immune-inflammation response index (SIIRI), calculated as peripheral neutrophil × monocyte × platelet ÷ lymphocyte count. We assessed 240 patients with an acute coronary syndrome that subsequently underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. CAD severity was measured using the SYNTAX score. Laboratory measurements, including cell counts, were obtained on admission. On multivariate analysis, the SIIRI was an independent predictor of severe CAD with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.666 [1.376-2.017] per 105-unit increase. The SIIRI had the highest area under the receiver operator curve of .771 [.709-.833] compared to the SII, SIRI neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio. The optimal cut-off for SIIRI was 4.3 × 105, with sensitivity = 69.9% and specificity = 75.8%. Increment in model performance resulting from adding SIIRI versus other inflammatory indices was assessed using discrimination, calibration, and goodness-of-fit measures. When added to a baseline model, the SIIRI resulted in a significant increase in the c-statistic and significant net reclassification index (.808, P < .0001) and integrated discrimination index (.129, P < .0001), and a decrease in Akaike and Bayesian information criteria.

Abstract
Background To investigate the correlation between lg (circSCMH1/miR-874) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and carotid plaque stability. Methods 701 patients were divided into stable coronary artery disease (SCAD), ACS, and control groups. Furthermore, 225 patients who underwent carotid ultrasound were selected from the above 701 patients and were divided into low-risk plaque, medium-to-high risk plaque, and control (without carotid plaques) groups. We collected their baseline characteristics and measured the contents of exosomal circSCMH1 and miR-874 in peripheral blood. Then lg(circSCMH1/miR-874) was calculated and statistical analysis was performed. Results The lg (circSCMH1/miR-874) values of ACS, SCAD, and the control group decreased successively (P < 0.05). Compared with the low-risk plaque and control groups, the lg (circSCMH1/miR-874) value of medium-high risk plaque group decreased (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that with the decrease of lg (circSCMH1/miR-874), the risk of ACS, AMI, and medium-high risk plaques increased. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that lg (circSCMH1/miR-874) has a higher diagnostic value for ACS, AMI and medium-high risk plaques than previously used predictive ratios. Conclusion Lg (circSCMH1/miR-874) is closely associated with coronary and carotid plaque stability.

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
Complete blood count (CBC)-derived indices have been proposed as reliable inflammatory biomarkers to predict outcomes in the context of coronary artery disease. These indices have yet to be thoroughly validated in patients with intermediate coronary stenosis. Our study included 1527 patients only with intermediate coronary stenosis. The examined variables were neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived NLR, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), system inflammation response index (SIRI), and aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI). The primary endpoint was the composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and unplanned revascularization. Over a follow-up of 6.11 (5.73-6.55) years, MACEs occurred in 189 patients. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis showed that SIRI outperformed other indices with the most significant area under the curve. In the multivariable analysis, SIRI (hazard ratio [HR] 1.588, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.138-2.212) and AISI (HR 1.673, 95% CI 1.217-2.300) were the most important prognostic factors among all the indices. The discrimination ability of each index was strengthened in patients with less burden of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. SIRI also exhibited the best incremental value beyond the traditional cardiovascular risk model.

Impact of the SGLT2-inhibitor empagliflozin on inflammatory biomarkers after acute myocardial infarction - a post-hoc analysis of the EMMY trial. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:166. [PMID: 37407956 PMCID: PMC10324245 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01904-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND SGTL2-inhibitors are a cornerstone in the treatment of heart failure, but data on patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is limited. The EMMY trial was the first to show a significant reduction in NTproBNP levels as well as improved cardiac structure and function in post-AMI patients treated with Empagliflozin compared to placebo. However, data on the potential impact of SGLT2-inhibitors on inflammatory biomarkers after AMI are scarce. MATERIALS AND METHODS The EMMY trial is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, which enrolled patients after AMI, receiving either 10 mg Empagliflozin once daily or placebo over a period of 26 weeks on top of standard guideline-recommended therapy starting within 72 h after percutaneous coronary intervention. In this post-hoc subgroup analysis of the EMMY trial, we investigated inflammatory biomarkers of 374 patients. The endpoints investigated were the mean change in inflammatory biomarkers such as high-sensitive c-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), neutrophils, leukocytes, neutrophile/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) from baseline to 26 weeks. RESULTS Baseline median (interquartile ranges) IL-6 was 17.9 pg/mL (9.0-38.7), hsCRP 18.9 mg/L (11.2-37.1), neutrophil count 7.9 x G/L (6.2-10.1), leukocyte count 10.8 x G/L (9.1-12.8) and neutrophile/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) of 0.74 (0.67-0.80). At week 26, a significant mean reduction in inflammatory biomarkers was observed, being 35.1 ± 3.2% (p < 0.001) for IL-6, 57.4 ± 0.7% (p < 0.001) for hsCRP, 26.1 ± 0.7% (p < 0.001) for neutrophils, 20.5 ± 0.6% (p < 0.001) for leukocytes, 10.22 ± 0.50% (p < 0.001) for NLR, and - 2.53 ± 0.92% for PLR (p = 0.006) with no significant difference between Empagliflozin and placebo treatment. CONCLUSION Trajectories of inflammatory biomarkers showed a pronounced decline after AMI, but Empagliflozin treatment did not impact this decline indicating no central role in blunted systemic inflammation mediating beneficial effects.

Abstract
Background Thrombosis and inflammation are crucial elements in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Hematological parameters elucidate information involving the inflammatory and blood coagulation processes. Objectives The current study explored the association of hematological parameters with EOCAD to identify specific risk factors. Design A single-center retrospective case-control study was conducted with 1693 coronary artery disease patients and 1693 controls. Methods Hematological parameters were examined through an automated analyzer. Results The basophil percentage was significantly reduced in EOCAD (0.43 ± 0.26, p < 0.001) and MI (0.33 ± 0.24, p < 0.001) groups compared with controls (0.54 ± 0.28). The eosinophil percentage was also significantly lower in EOCAD (2.21 ± 1.71, p < 0.001) and MI (1.71 ± 2.44, p < 0.001) groups compared with controls (2.41 ± 1.75). The lymphocyte percentage in patients of EOCAD and MI and controls was 31.65 ± 7.93, 25.48 ± 9.43, and 34.82 ± 7.28, respectively. A significant difference was observed among the groups (p < 0.001). Except for the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), other red blood cell (RBC) parameters significantly differed between EOCAD patients and controls. The red blood cell distribution width (RDW), hematocrit (HCT), RBC count, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and hemoglobin level were associated with EOCAD prevalence after adjusting for baseline differences. Platelet volume distribution width (PDW) also correlated with EOCAD prevalence (ORadjust = 1.087, 95% CI: 1.044-1.131). Conclusions Hematological parameters are closely associated with EOCAD. Moreover, leukocyte parameters correlated with the presence and severity of the disease. In addition, erythrocyte parameters were associated with the disease presence but not with the disease severity. Among the platelet parameters, only PDW was related to the disease presence.

Abstract
Objective Previous studies have shown inconsistent results in relation to the red cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) of atrial fibrillation (AF). This retrospective study is aimed at detecting the association of RDW, NLR, and PLR with AF. Methods A total of 4717 critical care patients were screened from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care- (MIMIC-) III database. The patients were separated into the non-AF and AF groups. The imbalances between the groups were reduced using propensity score matching (PSM). ROC curves were generated to detect the diagnostic value of RDW, NLR, and PLR. Logistic regression analysis was used to detect the risk factors for AF. Results A total of 991 non-AF patients paired with 991 AF patients were included after PSM in this study. The RDW level in the AF group was significantly higher than that in the non-AF group (15.09 ± 1.93vs. 14.89 ± 1.91, P = 0.017). Neither NLR nor PLR showed any significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05 for each). According to ROC curve, RDW showed a very low diagnostic value of AF (AUC = 0.5341), and the best cutoff of RDW was 14.1 (ACU = 0.5257, sensitivity = 0.658, specificity = 0.395). Logistic regression analysis showed that an elevated RDW level increased 1.308-fold (95%CI = 1.077-1.588, P = 0.007) risk of AF. Neither elevated NLR nor elevated PLR was a significant risk factor for AF (OR = 0.993, 95%CI = 0.802-1.228, P = 0.945 for NLR; OR = 0.945, 95%CI = 0.763-1.170, P = 0.603 for PLR). Conclusions Elevated RDW level but not NLR or PLR levels is associated with AF. RDW > 14.1 is a risk factor for AF, but its diagnostic capacity for AF is not of great value.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between retinopathy and coronary microcirculation dysfunction (CMD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods 198 T2DM patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)>50%, no epicardial coronary artery stenosis diagnosis by coronary angiography (CAG) and successfully completed coronary blood flow reserve (CFR) test and laboratory examination were enrolled, and fundus examination was performed on all participants. Two groups were divided according to CFR value, including 86 patients with CMD (CFR≤2.5) in study group and 112 patients without CMD (CFR>2.5) in control group. The composition of various retinopathy in two groups was observed, and the correlation between retinopathy and CMD was analyzed using ordered logistic regression. Results There were 13 cases with arteriovenous (A/V) nicking, 4 cases with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), 14 cases with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), 17 cases with diabetic retinopathy (DR) with A/V nicking, 38 cases without retinopathy in study group, and 18 cases, 7 cases, 20 cases, 4 cases and 63 cases for each in control group. After adjustment for age, gender, hypertension, diabetes duration, dyslipidemia, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), A/V nicking, PDR and NPDR, the diference of DR with A/V nicking between study and control group remained statistically signifcant (OR 2.0, 95% CI 0.79 to 3.21, p = 0.001). Conclusion DR with A/V nicking could be used as an independent predictor of T2DM patients with CMD. CFR testing should be performed on patients with this kind of eye sign, even if they do not have any symptoms of heart disease. Meanwhile, DR with A/V nicking might be served as a reference indicator of CMD in T2DM patients with chest pain who were unable to be tested for CFR.

Increased Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio is an Independent Predictor of Hemorrhagic Transformation and In-Hospital Mortality Among Acute Ischemic Stroke with Large-Artery Atherosclerosis Patients. Int J Gen Med 2021; 14:7545-7555. [PMID: 34754227 PMCID: PMC8570380 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s329398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is an inflammation marker of acute ischemic stroke, but its significance in patients with hemorrhage transformation (HT) after acute ischemic stroke with large-artery atherosclerosis (AIS-LAA) is unclear, and we also identified the relationship between PLR and in-hospital mortality of HT after AIS-LAA. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of patients with AIS-LAA. The PLR was calculated according to platelet and lymphocyte counts on admission. HT was defined on follow-up magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography when neurologic deterioration worsened during hospitalization. The univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to assess the association of PLR, HT and in-hospital mortality of HT after AIS-LAA. Results We included 328 Chinese AIS-LAA patients (mean age 67.2±11.1 years; 70.4% male). HT occurred in 38 patients (11.6%). After multivariate regression analyses, NRL (odds ratio [OR] 1.354, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.176–1.559, P<0.001) and PLR (odds ratio [OR] 3.869, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.233–5.702, P<0.001) were independently associated with HT after AIS-LAA. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) value of PLR (0.72, 95% CI (0.64–0.80), P<0.001) tested a greater discriminatory ability compared with neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (0.67, 95% CI (0.58–0.76), P<0.001). Meanwhile, PLR was found to be significantly related to HT after AIS-LAA, including in subtypes of artery-to-artery embolization (aOR 1.699, 95% CI 1.298–3.215, P<0.001), in-situ thrombosis (aOR4.499, 95% CI 1.344–9.054, P<0.001) and branch atheromatous disease (aOR3.239, 95% CI 1.098–8.354, P<0.001). Increased PLR predicts high in-hospital mortality of HT after AIS-LAA (OR 1.041, 95% CI (1.006–1.077), P=0.020; aOR 1.053, 95% CI (1.004–1.104), P=0.034). Conclusion High PLR is associated with greater risk of HT in AIS-LAA patients, including in artery-to-artery embolization, in-situ thrombosis and branch atheromatous disease. Meanwhile, increased PLR predicts high in-hospital mortality of HT after AIS-LAA.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and the China Acute Myocardial Infarction registry-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (CAMI-STEMI) score for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 6 months.We enrolled STEMI patients who received emergency PCI in the First Hospital of Lianyungang from January 2016 to December 2019. The clinical characteristics of the patients, the PLR, and the CAMI-STEMI score were recorded. The MACE included heart failure, nonfatal re-infarction, recurrent angina pain, re-hospitalization for cardiovascular-related illness, repeat PCI, coronary artery bypass grafting, and all-cause mortality. According to the incidence of MACE during the follow-up the patients were divided into the MACE group (96 cases, 24.8%) and the non-MACE group (291 cases, 75.2%).The PLR, 147.62 (121.13-205.20) in MACE group, was 111.19 (90.23-146.42) in the non-MACE group in comparison, the PLR was higher in MACE group than that in non-MACE group (P < .01). Multivariate regression analysis showed that PLR (odds ratio (OR) = 1.007, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.002-1.012, P < .01) and CAMI-STEMI score (OR = 1.575, 95% CI: 1.311-1.892, P < .01) were independent predictors of MACE. Besides, I-BIL was also an independent predictor of MACE (OR = 1.007, 95% CI: 1.011-1.146, P = .021). Reciever-operating characteristic curve showed that the area under curve of PLR was 0.704 (95%CI 0.644-0.763, P < .001). The cutoff value was 112.6, the sensitivity and specificity were 84.4% and 51.9%, respectively.PLR and CAMI-STEMI scores were independent risk factors of MACE after PCI in STEMI patients.

Abstract
AIMS Our study is aimed to investigate the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS We retrospect the consecutive medical files of 160 T2DM patients and recorded their clinical information and laboratory findings. Patients were divided into CMD group (n = 87) and non-CMD group (n = 73). We compared the NLR values of the two groups. Meanwhile we also observed the prevalence of CMD at different NLR levels. Then, logistic regression and ROC analysis were performed. RESULTS NLR value of CMD group was significantly lower than non-CMD group (2.01 ± 0.74 vs 2.53 ± 0.69, P<0.001). Prevalence of CMD in low (NLR ≤ 1.53, n = 30), medium (1.53 < NLR ≤ 2.20, n = 53) and high (NLR > 2.20, n = 77) group were 90%, 61.1%, and 39.2% respectively. The prevalence of CMD significantly increased as NLR level decreased. After adjusting potential related factors, NLR was still significantly correlated with CMD (OR = 0.295, 95 %CI:0.162-0.539, P < 0.001). The area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.707 (95 %CI:0.627-0.786, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that NLR is associated with CMD in T2DM patients, and the prevalence of CMD may increase as NLR level decrease.

Predictive value of inflammation-based Glasgow prognostic score, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and global registry of acute coronary events score for major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events during hospitalization in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Aging (Albany NY) 2021; 13:18274-18286. [PMID: 34270463 PMCID: PMC8351676 DOI: 10.18632/aging.203273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate the predictive ability of the inflammation-based Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score and combined diagnostic models for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACEs) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, eligible patients were required to meet the third global definition of myocardial infarction. The primary outcome of this study was the occurrence of MACEs during hospitalization. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive ability of the GPS, PLR, GRACE scores, and joint diagnostic models for primary outcomes; univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Findings: A total of 175 patients were enrolled. The results of the univariate ROC curve analysis for the incidence of MACEs during hospitalization showed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.780 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.696-0.864) for the GPS, 0.766 (95% CI 0.682-0.850) for the redefined GPS (RGPS), 0.561 (95% CI 0.458-0.664) for the PLR score (PLRS), and 0.793 (95% CI 0.706-0.880) for GRACE. Multivariate ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value was 0.809 (95% CI 0.726-0.893) for the GPS combined with GRACE, 0.783 (95% CI 0.701-0.864) for the GPS combined with the PLRS, 0.794 (95% CI 0.707-0.880) for GRACE combined with the PLRS, and 0.841 (95% CI 0.761-0.921) for the GPS combined with GRACE and the PLRS. The combined diagnostic model including the GPS plus GRACE and the PLRS had a higher AUC value than the GPS, RGPS and GRACE models (P = 0.014, P = 0.004, and P = 0.038, respectively). The multivariate logistic regression model showed that the odds ratio for hospitalized MACEs was 5.573 (95% CI 1.588-19.554) for GPS scores of 2 versus 0, and the GRACE score was also an independent risk factor for MACEs, with an odds ratio of 1.023 (95% CI 1.009-1.036). Implications: The diagnostic model combining the GPS plus GRACE and the PLRS has better predictive ability for the occurrence of MACEs during hospitalization than each single score. Thus, the use of a combined GPS plus GRACE and PLRS model will be of clinical benefit in a broad group of individuals with AMI.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown that inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been reported as a novel inflammatory marker. However, it is not clear whether PLR is associated with short‐term all‐cause mortality in critically ill patients with non‐ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods The data for the study is from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database. The primary outcome in our study was 28‐day mortality. Kapan‐Meier curve, lowess smoother curve, and multivariate Cox regression models were used to determine whether the association between PLR and 28‐day mortality of critically ill patients with NSTEMI. Results A total of 1273 critically ill patients with NSTEMI were included in this analysis. Kapan‐Meier curve and lowess smoother curve show that high PLR is associated with an increased risk of 28‐day all‐cause mortality. The study population is divided into two groups according to the cut‐off value of PLR level. In the Cox model, high PLR levels (PLR≥195.8) were significantly associated with increased 28‐day mortality (HR 1.54; 95%CI 1.09–2.18, p = .013). In quartile analyses, the HR (95% CI) for the third (183 ≤ PLR < 306) and fourth quartile (PLR≥306) was 1.55 (1.05–2.29) and 1.61 (1.03–2.52), respectively, compared to the reference group(111 ≤ PLR < 183). In subgroup analyses, there is no interaction effect in most of the subgroups except for respiratory failure and vasopressor use. Conclusion High PLR is associated with an increased risk of short‐term mortality in critically ill patients with NSTEMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a haematological index which reflects increased level of inflammation and thrombosis. We aimed to summarize the potential prognostic role of PLR for the in-hospital and long-term outcomes in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in a meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Relevant cohort studies were identified by search the PubMed, Cochrane's Library and Embase databases. A random-effect model was applied to pool the results. In-hospital and long-term outcomes were compared between patients with higher and lower preprocedural PLR. RESULTS Eleven cohorts with 12 619 patients were included. Pooled results showed that higher preprocedural PLR was independently associated with increased risk of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, risk ratio [RR]: 1.76, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.39 to 2.22, P < .001; I2 = 49%), cardiac mortality (RR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.18 to 3.09, P = .009; I2 = 0), all-cause mortality (RR: 2.14, 95% CI: 1.52 to 3.01, P < .001, I2 = 24%) and no reflow after pPCI (RR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.70 to 2.90, P < .001, I2 = 59%). Moreover, higher preprocedural PLR was associated with increased risk of MACE (RR: 1.60, 95% CI: 1.25 to 2.03, I2 = 57%, P < .001) and all-cause mortality (RR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.53 to 3.66, I2 = 78%, P < .001) during long-term follow-up of up to 82 months after discharge. CONCLUSIONS Higher PLR predicts poor in-hospital and long-term prognosis in STEMI patients after pPCI.

Abstract
Background ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most severe form of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) which is associated with significant adverse outcomes. Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a novel inflammatory biomarker that has been used as a predictor of various cardiovascular diseases, including ACS. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the prognostic value of PLR as a predictor of in-hospital and long-term outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We performed a comprehensive systematic literature search in the databases of PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest for eligible studies. The primary outcomes were major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and mortality, both in-hospital and long-term follow-up. The outcomes were compared between patients with high and low admission PLR. The quality assessment was conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Review Manager 5.3 was used to perform the meta-analysis. Results Six cohort studies involving 4,289 STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled analysis showed that a high PLR at admission was associated with increased in-hospital MACE (odds ratio (OR) = 1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.56 - 2.40, P < 0.00001, I2 = 45%) and in-hospital mortality (OR = 2.07; 95% CI = 1.53 - 2.80; P < 0.00001; I2 = 50%), as well as increased long-term MACE (OR = 1.98; 95% CI = 1.31 - 3.00; P = 0.001; I2 = 72%) and long-term mortality (OR = 2.79; 95% CI = 1.45 - 5.36; P = 0.002; I2 = 83%). Conclusions In patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI, a high PLR at admission predicts in-hospital MACE and mortality along with long-term MACE and mortality.

Abstract
Background: The platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has recently emerged as a potential inflammatory biomarker and has been shown to be significantly associated with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, we aimed to explore the association of PLR with in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and the severity of CAD assessed by the Gensini score (GS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing coronary angiography. Methods: A total of 502 patients with AMI consecutively treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (Qingdao, China) and underwent coronary angiography from August 2017 to December 2018 were recruited in this study. The demographic, clinical, angiographic characteristics, and laboratory parameters were collected. According to the presence of in-hospital MACEs, the included patients were divided into the MACE group (n = 81) and the non-MACE group (n = 421). Further, according to tertiles of the GS, the patients were classified into three groups: the low GS group (GS ≤ 32 points, n = 173), medium GS group (32 points < GS ≤ 60 points, n = 169), and high GS group (60 points < GS ≤ 180 points, n = 160). The main statistical methods included Chi-squared test, non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic curves. Results: The PLR in the MACE group was significantly higher than that in the non-MACE group (179.43 [132.84, 239.74] vs. 116.11 [87.98, 145.45], Z = –8.109, P < 0.001). Further, there were significant differences in PLR among the tertiles of GS (110.05 [84.57, 139.06] vs. 119.78 [98.44, 157.98] vs. 140.00 [102.27, 191.83], H = 19.524, P < 0.001). PLR was demonstrated to be an independent risk factor of in-hospital MACEs (odds ratio [OR]: 1.012, 95% confidential interval [CI]: 1.006–1.018, P < 0.001) and severe CAD assessed by the GS (OR: 1.004, 95% CI: 1.002–1.009, P = 0.042). The cutoff value of PLR for predicting the development of in-hospital MACEs was 151.28 with a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 78.1% (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.786, 95% CI: 0.730–0.842, P < 0.001), and a PLR of 139.31 was also identified to be an effective cutoff point for detecting a high GS (>60 points) with a sensitivity of 49.4% and a specificity of 69.6% (AUC: 0.611, 95% CI: 0.556–0.666, P < 0.001). Conclusions: PLR as a novel inflammatory marker is significantly and independently associated with the occurrence of in-hospital MACEs and the severity of CAD assessed by the GS in patients with AMI. As an easily available and inexpensive inflammatory indicator, PLR could be widely used as an efficient inflammatory biomarker for identifying high-risk patients and for individualizing targeted therapy to improve the prognosis of AMI.

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio are associated with cryptogenic stroke in patients with patent foramen ovale. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 5:e112-e117. [PMID: 32529113 PMCID: PMC7277521 DOI: 10.5114/amsad.2020.95946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 04/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Although most ischaemic strokes are due to cardioembolism, about 25–40% of strokes are cryptogenic. Patent foramen ovale has been associated with cryptogenic stroke; however, the precise mechanism of this association has not been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between inflammatory markers and cryptogenic stroke in patients with patent foramen ovale. Material and methods We included 206 patients with patent foramen ovale. Ninety-four (45.63%) out of 206 patients had had stroke, and 112 (54.37%) had not had stroke. The ratio of the total neutrophil count to the total lymphocyte count was defined as the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, and the ratio of the absolute platelet count to the absolute lymphocyte count was determined as the platelet to lymphocyte count. Results The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio was significantly higher in patients who had stroke than in those who did not (2.41 ±1.69 vs. 2.19 ±1.74, p = 0.047). Although the platelet to lymphocyte count was also higher in patients who had had stroke than in those who had not, it was not statistically significant (120.94 ±55.45 vs. 118.01 ±52.21, p = 0.729). 1.62 was the cut-off value for neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio to be associated with stroke with 73.4% sensitivity and 45.05% specificity (p = 0.042). Conclusions This study demonstrated that elevated neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte count could be associated with cryptogenic stroke in patients with patent foramen ovale.
