Key result
C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) significantly predicted in-hospital mortality (cutoff 0.0864; sensitivity 94.1%; specificity 40.5%; p=0.008).
Why the study?
The authors sought to investigate the value of novel inflammatory markers, systemic immune-inflammation index and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio, to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with NSTEMI.
Does the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio predict in-hospital mortality in patients with NSTEMI undergoing PCI?
Cohort (n=308)
Does the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio predict in-hospital mortality in patients with NSTEMI undergoing PCI?
p-value: p=0.008
The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio is a significant and inexpensive predictor of in-hospital mortality in NSTEMI patients undergoing PCI.
CAR may aid mortality risk stratification in NSTEMI-PCI; leaves open incremental value over standard scores.
Objective: The authors investigated the value of novel inflammatory markers, systemic immune-inflammation index and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR), to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Materials & methods: A total of 308 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention because of NSTEMI were retrospectively included in the study. Killip classification, Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction score, SYNTAX score, and CAR and systemic immune-inflammation index values were calculated. Results: CAR (cutoff: 0.0864; sensitivity: 94.1%; specificity: 40.5%; p = 0.008) and Killip classification (cutoff: 2.5; sensitivity: 64.7%; specificity: 8.9%; p = 0.001) were found to be significantly higher in determining in-hospital mortality. Conclusion: This study revealed that CAR is an inexpensive and significant factor in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for NSTEMI.

Menekşe et al. (2024) conducted a cohort in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (n=308). C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) was evaluated on in-hospital mortality (p=0.008). C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) significantly predicted in-hospital mortality (cutoff 0.0864; sensitivity 94.1%; specificity 40.5%; p=0.008).
