Prognostic Value of Inflammation Parameters in Patients With Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes.

Inflammation parameters can predict the severity of coronary artery disease and predict long-term mortality. However, there is no study in which these parameters were evaluated together. We compared the prognostic values of inflammation parameters in predicting long-term mortality in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Consecutive patients with NSTE-ACS (n = 170) were included in the study. Monocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio (TC/HDL-C), triglyceride /HDL-C ratio (TG/HDL-C), total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index, and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) were measured. Total antioxidant status and TOS variables were significant independent predictors of mortality. When 1.17 value is taken as a cutoff point of TAS values, the sensitivity (70.0%) and specificity (77.39%) values calculated for this value indicate that TAS variable has a predictive value on mortality. Monocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, LMR, NLR, PLR, TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, TOS, and IMA levels could not be used alone in the diagnosis, severity assessment, and predicting future mortality of NSTE-ACS. Only TAS levels had a predictive value on mortality.
