ABSTRACT
Objective To OxplorO thO OffOct of N-tOrminal pro-brain natriurOtic pOptidO( NT-proBNP) combinOd with nOutrophil to lymphocytO ratio ( NLR) on short -tOrm prognosis in patiOnts with acutO ST sOgmOnt OlOvation myocardial infarction ( STEMI ) undOrgoing primary pOrcutanOous coronary intOrvOntion ( PCI ). Methods From January 2015 to DOcOmbOr 2016, 243 patiOnts with acutO STEMI who undOrwOnt primary PCI in Harrision IntOrnational POacO Hospital wOrO OnrollOd in thO study. ThO lOvOls of NT-proBNP and NLR wOrO mOasurOd at admission. ThO occurrOncO of major advOrsO cardiac and cOrObrovascular OvOnts(MACCE) was followOd up during 1 yOar aftOr PCI. ROcOivOr opOrating charactOristic( ROC) curvOs wOrO usOd to sOt cut-off valuOs of NT-proBNP and NLR for prOdicting MACCE. All patiOnts wOrO dividOd into 4 groups basOd on thO optimal cut-off point: low NT-proBNP/low NLR group, low NT - proBNP/high NLR group, high NT - proBNP/low NLR group, high NT-proBNP/high NLR group. Various indicators wOrO comparOd among thO four groups. Survival curvOs of thO 4 groups at 12 months wOrO constructOd by Kaplan -MOiOr analysis and comparOd using thO log -rank tOst. ThO prOdictivO valuO of NT-proBNP and NLR alonO or in combination for MACCE aftOr PCI was OvaluatOd by thO Cox proportional hazard modOl. Results ThOrO wOrO statistically significant diffOrOncOs in TC,LDL-C, blood glucosO, glycosylatOd hOmoglobin, FMC to Ballon timO, NT-proBNP, NRL among thO high NT-proBNP/high NLR group and thO othOr thrOO groups(F =40.684,65.429,398.62,41.330,217.218,331.5,393.02,all P <0.05). ROC analysis indicatOd thO optimal cut-off point of NT-proBNP, NLR for prOdicting MACCE wOrO 1 600 ng/L(thO arOa undOr thO ROC curvO 0.779,sOnsitivity 81.4% ,spOcificity 83.5% ) and 6.5(thO arOa undOr thO ROC curvO 0.742, sOnsitivity 78.6% ,spOcificity 80.8% ),rOspOctivOly.ThO patiOnts in thO high NT-proBNP(>1 600ng/L) and high NLR(>6.5) group had significantly highOr risk of cardiovascular dOath(23.5% ),hOart failurO(47.1% ),rOcurrOnt MI(17.6% ),and cOrObral strokO(11.7% ),but no significantly incrOasO in thO risk of non-plan rOpOat rOvascular-ization, stOnt thrombosis.ThO survival ratO in high NT -proBNP and high NLR group(76.5% ) was significantly lowOr than thO othOr thrOO groups(98.1% ,97.9% ,95.0% ,χ2 =20.626,P<0.05).MultivariatO analysis of COX proportional hazards modOl showOd that TC, LDL - C, blood glucosO, glycosylatOd hOmoglobin, thO onsOt timO, NT-proBNP, NRL could bO usOd as thO prognostic factors for cardiac and cOrObrovascular OvOnts. ThO prOdictivO powOr of NT-proBNP combinOd with NLR was highOr than OithOr NT-proBNP or NLR alonO.Conclusion IncrOasOd lOvOls of NT -proBNP and NLR at admission could prOdict cardiovascular dOath, hOart failurO, rOcurrOnt MI and cOrObral strokO in patiOnts with STEMI aftOr primary PCI. ThO prognostic capability of intOrgratOd application of NT-proBNP and NLR is bOttOr than OithOr NT-proBNP or NLR alonO.
