Prognostic Value of GRACE Risk Score Combined With Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score and the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were used independently to predict adverse outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this study, 1041 patients with STEMI were divided into 4 groups based on GRACE scores and optimal cutoff values for SII. SII was positively correlated with GRACE score (r = 0.164; P < .001). SII (HR, hazard ratio: 2.051; 95%CI: 1.249-3.368; P = .005) and GRACE score (HR: 7.625; 95%CI: 3.692-15.746; P < .001) were independent risk predictors of short-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Taking the low SII+low GRACE group as the reference group, the short-term MACE HR of the high SII+high GRACE group was 40.470 (95%CI: 5.547-295.253). Comparing the area under the curve, the combined use of SII and GRACE scores can significantly improve the prediction efficiency of short-term MACE compared with the single use of SII and GRACE scores. In conclusion, SII may be positively correlated with GRACE score, and the combination of the two accurately predicted the occurrence of short-term MACE in STEMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
