Key result
Higher WMR predicts ~26% greater odds of a high Syntax score in STEMI patients.
Why the study?
Syntax score plays a significant role in STEMI risk stratification, and the simple inflammatory marker WMR may help identify high-risk patients.
Does the white blood cell count to mean platelet volume ratio (WMR) predict Syntax score in patients with STEMI?
Observational (n=335)
No
Does the white blood cell count to mean platelet volume ratio (WMR) predict Syntax score in patients with STEMI?
Odds Ratio: 1.26 (95% CI 1.08–1.47)
p-value: p=0.002
This study investigates whether the white blood cell count to mean platelet volume ratio (WMR) can serve as a simple biomarker to predict the Syntax score and aid in risk stratification for STEMI patients.
WMR correlates with Syntax score in STEMI; leaves open its incremental value for risk stratification in prospective studies.
Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most common reason for mortality worldwide.Scoring systems such as Syntax score plays a significant role in risk stratification in these patients.Besides, as a simple and easily applicable marker, white blood cell count to mean platelet volume ratio (WMR), which could play a vital role in identifying risky patients, has emerged as an indicator of inflammation in atherosclerotic disease.In the current study, we aimed to investigate the predictive role of WMR for Syntax score in patients with STEMI.

Karakayalı et al. (2023) conducted an observational in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) (n=335). White Blood Cell Count to Mean Platelet Volume Ratio (WMR) vs. Lower WMR was evaluated on High Syntax score (≥19) (OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.08-1.47, p=0.002). In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, the white blood cell count to mean platelet volume ratio (WMR) was an independent predictor of a high Syntax score (OR 1.26).
