Correlation of platelet/lymphocyte ratio with short-term and long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Ninety-five patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were enrolled. According to thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk score, 95 patients were divided into high group (TIMI>4, n=46) and low group (TIMI≤4, n=49) . According to platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), 95 patients were divided into low PLR group (PLR≤170, n=60) and high PLR group (PLR>170, n=35) . The correlation of PLR with short-term and long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction was analyzed. The results showed that there were no significant differences in red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (HB), white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil ratio (NEU), percentage of intermediate cells (MON), lymphocyte count (LYM), basophils (Bas), red blood cells distribution width (RDW), eosinophils (EO) between high and low TIMI groups ( P>0.05) . The platelet count (PLT) and PLR in high TIMI group was significantly higher than that in low TIMI group ( t=42.196, 10.053; P<0.05) . The in-hospital mortality and all-cause mortality of high PLR group were significantly higher than those of low PLR group [1.67%(1/60) vs. 14.28%(5/35), χ 2=5.949, P=0.02; 3.33%(2/60) vs. 17.14%(6/35), χ 2=5.466, P=0.04]; while there was no significant difference in 1-year re-hospitalization rate, interventional therapy and thrombolytic therapy between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that PLR was positively correlated with TIMI score ( r=0.563, P=0.024) . Logistic regression analysis showed that Killip grade, serum creatinine and PLR were independent risk factors of AMI ( OR=7.532,60.14,8.234; P<0.05). PLR may effectively evaluate the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction, suggesting that its clinical value should be condidered.
