Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) might be associated with the mortality or major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the correlation between NLR and mortality/MACEs in ACS.
We assessed clinical trials through Pubmed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and Web of science in investigating the association between NLR and mortality/MACEs in ACS patients up to August 15, 2017. The primary outcome was mortality or recurrent MACEs.
In total, 8 studies of 9406 patients were included in the systematic and meta-analysis. Our analysis indicated that elevated pretreatment NLR was a poor prognostic marker for patients with recent ACS in predicting medium to long-term mortality/MACEs (OR 1.26, 95%CI 1.13-1.41). And the analysis indicated that higher pretreatment NLR value was associated with higher in-hospital mortality in ACS patients (OR 6.39, 95%CI 1.49-27.38, p<0.001). The NLR value of 5.0 maybe a cut-off value for ACS risk.
In patients with a recent ACS, an elevated pretreatment NLR value is effective in predicting the risk of mortality/MACEs.
中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)可能与急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者的死亡率或主要不良心脏事件(MACE)相关。我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以评估NLR与ACS患者死亡率/MACE之间的相关性。
我们通过PubMed、EMBASE、Cochrane图书馆和科学网评估临床试验,以调查截至2017年8月15日NLR与ACS患者死亡率/MACE之间的关联。主要结局是死亡率或复发性MACE。
系统评价和荟萃分析共纳入8项研究,涉及9406例患者。我们的分析表明,在预测中长期死亡率/MACE方面,ACS患者治疗前NLR升高是不良预后指标(OR 1.26,95%CI 1.13-1.41)。分析还表明,ACS患者治疗前NLR值越高,住院死亡率越高(OR 6.39,95%CI 1.49-27.38,p<0.001)。NLR值5.0可能是ACS风险的临界值。
在近期ACS患者中,治疗前NLR值升高可有效预测死亡率/MACE风险。
