Association between Platelet to Neutrophil Ratio (PNR) and Clinical Outcomes in STEMI Patients after Successful pPCI: A Secondary Analysis Based on a Cohort Study
CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPEUTICS(2022)
Abstract
Purpose. This study was aimed at investigating whether the platelet-to-neutrophil ratio (PNR) is independently related to the prognosis of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Methods. This was a secondary analysis of data retrieved from the DATADRYAD database, which was a prospective cohort study. A total of 464 STEMI patients who underwent successful pPCI were recruited between January 2010 and October 2014. The target-independent variable, PNR, was measured at the baseline. The dependent variable in the current study was the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) during the 30-month follow-up. Results. Two patients were excluded from the final analysis because their platelet counts were unavailable. The average age of the 462 participants was 63 +/- 11.92 years, and approximately 76.6% were male. After adjusting for age, sex, anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI), history of MI, apelin-12, apelin-12 change rate, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, peak cardiac troponin I, pathological Q wave, Killip classification grade, fasting blood glucose, albumin, GENSINI score, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, a nonlinear relationship was found between the PNR and MACEs in the included cohort. The threshold value of the PNR for MACEs was 23.1. Over this cutoff value, the incidence rate of MACEs increased by 43% per 10-unit change in PNR (95% CI: 1.16-1.75, p = 0.0006). Conclusion. There was a threshold relationship between PNR and MACEs in patients with STEMI who underwent successful pPCI. The incidence of MACEs was positively associated with the PNR when the PNR exceeded 23.1.
