Data are expressed as mean ± SD for normaly distributed data or count
(percentage) for categorical va-riables; CAD, Coronary artery disease;
CAR, C-reactive protein to albumin ratio; eGFR, estimated glomerular
filtration rate; IRA, Infarct releated artery; LAD, Left anterior
descending artery; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LCX, Left
circumflex artery; RCA, right coronary artery; TIMI, Thrombolysis in
myocardial infarction
The univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the CAR,
hemoglobin, platelet count, albumin level, eGFR, left ventricular EF,
neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and heart rate values were
associated with the IRA patency. CRP was not included in the analysis
because it showed multicollinearity with CAR. In the multivariate
logistic regression analysis to determine the relationship with IRA
patency in patients with STEMI, the CAR (odds ratio [OR]:1.56, 95%
confidence interval [CI]:1.22-1.97, p<0.001) and
neutrophil count (OR:1.72, 95% CI:1.33-2.25, p<0.001) were
found to be associated with TIMI 0-1 flow (Table 2).
