Key result
Blood eosinophil count inversely correlated with acute coronary syndrome severity in elderly patients, identifying unstable angina with 79% sensitivity and 57% specificity (AUC 0.686).
Why the study?
Does blood eosinophil count correlate with the severity of acute coronary syndrome in elderly patients?
Does blood eosinophil count correlate with the severity of acute coronary syndrome in elderly patients?
Blood eosinophil count is inversely related to ACS severity in elderly patients, with higher counts seen in unstable angina compared to myocardial infarction.
Eosinophil count may aid elderly ACS assessment; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any clinical role.
EOS value had a sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 57% for determination of ACS as UAP (AUC = 0.686, 95% CI, 0.617-0.755). In the present study, we detected an inverse relationship between the number of blood eosinophil count and the severity of ACS subgroups in elderly patients with higher counts in UAP than MI groups.
