Objective
To investigate the dynamic changes in systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) during the perioperative period of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and to evaluate its predictive value for in-hospital and out-of hospital outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods
This retrospective study included 324 consecutive STEMI patients in a cardiac care unit. Blood samples were collected 12h before, 12h after(T1), 24h after, 48h after PPCI, the last time before hospital discharge (T2), and 1 month after hospital discharge. SII was calculated as (neutrophils×platelets)/lymphocytes. Based on whether the primary endpoint occurred, we divided the research sample into two groups, which were the event and the non-event group. Univariable and multi-variable logistic regression analyses were performed to detect the independent risk factors that might influence the occurrence of the primary endpoint. Dynamic curves with SII were plotted and Receiver-operating characteristic(ROC) curves were drawn for each node to calculate the optimal critical value, sensitivity and specificity to assess their predictive ability for the occurrence of in-hospital and out-of hospital course. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to analyze the differences in survival rates at different status of SII inflammation levels;
Results
High levels of SII were individually related with the occurrence of in-hospital period and long-term outcomes during the post-operative follow-up of STEMI patients (in-hospital SII:T1:OR 1.001,95%CI 1.001–1.001,P < 0.001;SII following hospital discharge:T1M: OR 1.008,95%CI 1.006–1.010,P < 0.001). And patients with high SII levels had lower survival rates than those with lower SII levels. The analysis showed that SII 12h after(T1) and SII 1 month(T1M) had a excellent predictive value for the occurrence of in-hospital and out-of hospital outcomes, respectively(AUC:0.896, p < 0.001; AUC:0.892, p < 0.001).
Conclusion
There is a significant relationship between dynamic status of SII and the prognosis in STEMI patients. This study found that SII 12h and SII 1 month had an effect on in-hospital and out-of hospital outcomes, respectively. Consequently, we should focus on the dynamic change of SII.
