Why the study?
Early risk stratification is recommended to predict adverse outcomes in STEMI, and complete blood count and blood glucose are routinely performed on admission.
Do elevated white blood cell indices and glycemia on admission predict inhospital adverse outcomes and mortality in patients with STEMI?
Population

Admission WBC indices and glucose may support early STEMI risk stratification; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Do elevated white blood cell indices and glycemia on admission predict inhospital adverse outcomes and mortality in patients with STEMI?
Elevated white blood cell indices and plasma glucose on admission are independent predictors of major cardiovascular events and inhospital mortality in patients with STEMI.
