Abstract:
Objective To explore the prognostic value of biomarkers in type 2 diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), this study was to investigate the associations between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score and in-hospital mortality. MethodsSeven hundred and seven consecutive AMI patients were divided into diabetic group (DM-AMI group), impaired glucose tolerance group (IGT-AMI group), and normal glycemic group (NGT-AMI group). The laboratory and clinical characteristics were assessed retrospectively from the medical records. The NLR and GRACE score were calculated. Results In AMI patients, the DM-AMI group had significantly higher NLR and GRACE scores compared with those from the IGT-AMI group and NGT-AMI group (P<0.01 or P<0.05). In DM-AMI group, the NLR and GRACE score were considerably elevated in the elderly DM-AMI group compared with their younger counterparts (both P<0.01). Furthermore, the NLR was considerably higher in the high-risk group than those in both the low- and medium-risk groups based on the GRACE score (both P<0.01). The NLR was positively correlated with the GRACE score in DM-AMI group(r=0.425, P<0.01). The NLR level and GRACE score were higher in the death group than those in surviving patients (both P<0.01). The optimal cut-off levels of 9.36 for NLR and 166 for GRACE score seem to predicte death in-hospital. Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve, when to predict death in-hospital, the best cutoff value of NLR was 9.36 (sensitivity 80.8%, specificity 69.6%; area under curve 0.787), and the best cutoff value of GRACE score was 166 (sensitivity 76.9%, specificity 76.4%; area under curve 0.778). Conclusion An elevated NLR is a potential predictor of in-hospital mortality in type 2 diabetic patients with AMI, which could help clinicians indentify high-risk patients and determine appropriate treatment strategies. <英文关鍵词>>=Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio; In-hospital mortality; Acute myocardial infarction; Diabetes mellitus, type 2
