The prognostic value of admission lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio in critically ill patients with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammation plays a critical role in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Recent studies have shown the value of hematologic indicators in MI risk stratification and prognostic assessment. However, the association between lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) and the long-term mortality of critically ill MI patients remains unclear.

Methods

Clinical data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database. Patients diagnosed with AMI on admission in the intensive care units were include. The optimal cutoff value of LMR was determined by X-tile software. The Cox proportional hazard model was applied for the identification of independent prognostic factors of 1-year mortality and survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
