Preoperative Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio Is Associated with Early Morbidity and Mortality after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Abstract

In this study, elevated levels of platelet to lymphocyte ratio were associated with mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting operation.

Association of Preoperative Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio with Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

“…These findings are similar to those observed by Saskin et al [15] , in which they not only identified PLR as a risk for postoperative AF, but also for reoperation of sternal dehiscence, occurrence of a neurologic event, prolonged hospital length of stay, and mortality. Similar findings were also reported in our study which identified longer length of both intensive care and hospital stay among those who had AF.…”

Platelet to lymphocyte ratio in acute aortic dissection

“…Our best cutoff value of PLR with a high degree of specificity but fairly low sensitivity was 159; of note, PLR > 150 was associated with an odds ratio of 1.9 for critical limb ischemia in patients with peripheral arterial disease . In addition, preoperative PLR > 142 was observed in coronary patients with post‐coronary bypass grafting complications, PLR > 128 was an independent predictor of future events in patients with NSTEMI, and PLR > 171 in patients with stable CAD was associated with more severe coronary disease and worse prognosis . PLR is, therefore, a novel parameter which indicates inflammation and carries prognostic significance in a variety of clinical conditions.…”

“…PLR has been evaluated in patients with several diseases including chronic inflamatory diseases, malignancies, myeloproliferative disorders, cardiovasculer diseases and infectious diseases [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] .…”

“…Furthermore, elevated PLR levels have been shown in patients with several diseases such as cancer (e.g., prostate, colorectal, cervical, ovarian, malignant pleural mesothelioma and surgically resected gastrointestinal stromal tumors), peripheral artery disease, hypertension, coronary artery disease, limb ischemia, poor prognostic myocardial infraction, infective endocarditis, exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriasis vulgaris, Behçet's syndrome, pseudoexfoliation syndrome [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . On the contrary, reduced PLR levels have been reported in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) 6 .…”

“…PLR has been described as an indipendent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with infective endocarditis 2 , an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality after coronary arter bypass grafting 12 , and an independent prognostic factor for surgically resected gastrointestinal stromal tumors 10 , or useful for predicting the prognosis of in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and progression to pseudoexfoliation glaucoma 7 , malignant pleural mesothelioma 8 and recurrent cervical cancer 9 . And PLR more than 107 has been suggested to be independent predictor of non-dipper hypertension 11 .…”
