Key result
High C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) was identified as a significant independent predictor for in-hospital major adverse cardiac events in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Why the study?
The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio is a newly introduced marker that may provide better prognostic utility than either marker alone, but its association with in-hospital short-term MACE in ACS required assessment.
Does the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) predict in-hospital short-term MACEs in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Population
132 patients diagnosed with ACS in CICUs in Baghdad
Comparison

CAR may aid early risk stratification in ACS; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice without validation.

Does the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) predict in-hospital short-term MACEs in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
p-value: p=<0.001
The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) at admission serves as a significant independent predictor of in-hospital adverse events in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Tameemi et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) (n=132). High C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) vs. Low C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) was evaluated on In-hospital short-term major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) (p=<0.001). High C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) was identified as a significant independent predictor for in-hospital major adverse cardiac events in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
