Relationship Between In-Hospital Mortality and Creatinine/Albumin in Patients with St-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Without Standard Modifiable Risk Factors

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background: Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and smoking are associated with coronary artery disease and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, patients without any classic risk factors have a higher mortality rate in the post-STEMI period. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between in-hospital mortality and creatinine/albumin ratio in patients with STEMI without modifiable risk factors. Materials & methods: All patients included in this study with a diagnosis of STEMI and who underwent primary percutaneous intervention between 2016 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were included in the standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factor (SMuRF) group if at least diabetes, hypertension, smoking or hyperlipidemia was present according to risk factors. Patients without these risk factors were considered the non-SMuRF group. Results: Creatinine/albumin ratio was found to be higher in non-SMuRF patients with mortality (p < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, ejection fraction, hemoglobin and SMuRF were found to be inversely associated with in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.35–0.66, p < 0.001; OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.56–0.88, p = 0.002; OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.34–0.95, p = 0.03, respectively). Conclusion: The creatinine/albumin ratio can be used as a predictor of mortality in these patients; it can help identify high-risk patients beforehand.
