Why the study?
Whether combining the GRACE risk score with the mean platelet volume to lymphocyte count ratio improves prediction of adverse clinical outcomes in STEMI had not been previously evaluated.
Does the combination of GRACE risk score and MPVLR improve prediction of 30-day MACE in patients with STEMI after PCI?
Population
464 patients with STEMI undergoing PCI
Comparison
Four groups stratified by GRACE risk score and MPVLR cut-off values
Follow-up
30-day

May aid 30-day MACE risk stratification in STEMI post-PCI; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Does the combination of GRACE risk score and MPVLR improve prediction of 30-day MACE in patients with STEMI after PCI?
The combination of GRACE risk score and MPVLR provides improved prognostic accuracy for 30-day MACE in STEMI patients undergoing PCI compared to either marker alone.
