Association between glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio and in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammation is involved in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Recent studies indicated that glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio (GLR) level were significantly associated with the risk of mortality from inflammatory diseases, and showed a specific prognostic value. Herein, this study intended to explore the association between GLR level and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and evaluate the predictive value of GLR on AMI prognosis.

Methods

Data of patients with AMI were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database in 2012-2019 in this retrospective cohort study. Univariate COX proportional hazard model was used to screen covariates. The associations between GLR and in-hospita
