Predictive Value of Combination Scores of Leukocyte and Platelet Counts for Mortality in Patients With Acute ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction After PCI Treatment / 中国循环杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the predictive value of combination scores of leukocyte and platelet counts (COL-P) for in-hospital mortality in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment. Methods: A total of 660 STEMI patients with emergent PCI in our hospital from 2009-11 to 2013-08 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to COL-P scores: COL-P0 group,n=283, COL-P1 group,n=319 and COL-P3 group,n=58. The relationship between the in-hospital mortality and COL-P scores was analyzed among different groups. Results: There were 88/660 in-hospital death. The patients in death group had the higher white blood cell count and lower platelet count than those in survival group, bothP<0.01. Logistic regression analysis indicated that compared with COL-P0 group, the COL-P scores at COL-P1 level (OR 4.346, 95% CI 2.134-8.850,P<0.001) and COL-P2 level (OR 10.126, 95% CI 4.061-25.250,P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for in-hospital death in STEMI patients after emergent PCI. The in-hospital mortality in COL-P0, COL-P1 and COL-P2 groups were at 4.9%, 15.4% and 43.1% respectively, allP<0.001. Conclusion: COL-P score was useful for predicting the in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients after emergent PCI, while the long term mortality estimation should be further studied.
