The aim of this study is to investigate the value of inflammatory markers for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence prediction after cryo-balloon ablation (CA). The study included 399 patients divided into two groups by AF recurrence after CA. Inflammatory markers including uric acid/albumin ratio (UAR), systemic immune inflammation index (SIII) and CRP/albumin ratio (CAR) were evaluated. UAR, SIII, and CAR were independently associated with the risk of recurrence in AF patients following CA. In ROC curve analysis, CAR had a greater area under curve (AUC:0.73) value than either SIII (AUC:0.68) or UAR (AUC:0.64). Our study results indicate that CAR compared with SIII and UAR had a greater predictive value than others inflammatory markers in predicting AF recurrence post-CA.
本研究旨在探讨炎症标志物在冷冻球囊消融(CA)后预测心房颤动(AF)复发中的价值。该研究纳入了 399 名患者,根据 CA 后 AF 复发情况分为两组。评估了包括尿酸/白蛋白比值(UAR)、全身免疫炎症指数(SIII)和 CRP/白蛋白比值(CAR)在内的炎症标志物。UAR、SIII 和 CAR 均与 CA 后 AF 患者的复发风险独立相关。在 ROC 曲线分析中,CAR 的曲线下面积(AUC:0.73)值大于 SIII(AUC:0.68)或 UAR(AUC:0.64)。我们的研究结果表明,与 SIII 和 UAR 相比,CAR 在预测 CA 后 AF 复发方面具有比其他炎症标志物更高的预测价值。
