Abstract Background: The association between the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) and prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is not fully understood. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the correlation between LMR and mortality or major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with ACS. Methods: A systematic search was performed in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Scopus and Web of science. The association between LMR and mortality or MACE was analyzed in patients with ACS. The search was updated to April 15, 2020. Results: A total of 5 studies comprising 4343 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that lower LMR predicted short-term mortality/MACE (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.44, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.46–8.14, P < 0.05) and higher long-term mortality/MACE (HR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.36– 2.13, P < 0.05). According to our subgroup analysis, there is still has a statistical significance for LMR to predict long-term mortality/MACE in any subgroups. Conclusions: This study suggested that lower LMR value might be associated with higher short-term mortality/MACE and long-term mortality/MACE in ACS patients. Especially for younger ACS patients, low LMR was more closely associated with poor prognosis.

We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the correlation between LMR and mortality or major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with ACS.Methods A systematic search was performed in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Scopus and Web of science. The association between LMR and mortality or MACE was analyzed in patients with ACS. The search was updated to August 1, 2019.Results A total of 5 studies comprising 3122 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that lower LMR predicted short-term mortality/MACE (odds ratio [OR] = 2.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15–5.94, P = 0.022) and higher long-term mortality/MACE (OR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.06–4.19, P = 0.035). According to our subgroup analysis, there still has a statistical significance for LMR predict short-term mortality/MACE in lager sample size researches (≥600, OR = 3.50, 95% CI: 1.84–6.67, p < 0.001),Turkey researches (OR = 4.16, 95% CI: 2.32–7.46, p < 0.001), younger patients researches (< 62, OR = 3.76, 95% CI: 2.29–6.18, p < 0.001).Conclusions This study suggested that lower LMR value might be associated with higher short-term mortality/MACE and long-term mortality/MACE in patients with ACS.

В данной статье представлены особенности липидного спектра у пациентов с острым коронарным синдромом в отдаленном периоде после операции коронарного шунтирования (КШ), в сравнении групп с Инфарктом миокарда (ИМ) и Нестабильной стенокардии (НС), а также результаты приверженности к гиполипидемической терапии с особенностями достижения целевых уровней липидного спектра. Полученные результаты представляют, что по липидному спектру группы идентичны между собой и отличаются от нормы, пациенты с низкой приверженности к гиполипидемической терапии и не достигают целевых уровень по холестерин липопротеинов низкой плотности (ХС-ЛПНП) рекомендованным Европейского кардиологического общества (ESC, ЕОК) от 2019г. This article presents the features of the lipid spectrum in patients with acute coronary syndrome in the long-term period after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, in comparison with the groups with myocardial infarction and Unstable angina pectoris, as well as the results of adherence to lipid-lowering therapy with particularities of achieving target levels of the lipid spectrum. The results obtained represent that in terms of the lipid spectrum the groups are identical and differ from the norm, patients with low adherence to lipid-lowering therapy and do not reach the target levels for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) recommended by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) from 2019.

IntroductionChest pain is one of the most common reasons for ambulance callouts and presentation to Emergency Departments (EDs). Differentiating patients with serious conditions (e.g. acute coronary syndrome [ACS]) from the majority, who have self-limiting, non-cardiac conditions is extremely challenging. This causes over-triage and over-use of healthcare resources. We aimed to systematically review existing evidence on the accuracy of emergency telephone triage to detect ACS or life-threatening conditions associated with chest pain.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Two independent investigators searched the Embase, Medline, and Cinahl databases for relevant papers. We included retrospective and prospective cohort studies written in English and investigating EMS telephone triage for chest pain patients linked with final diagnosis of ACS. Studies were summarised in a narrative format as the data were not suitable for meta-analysis.ResultIn total, 553 studies were identified from the literature search and cross-referencing. After excluding 550 studies, three were eligible for inclusion. Among those 3 studies, there are different prediction models developed by authors with variation in variables to detect ACS. The result showed that dispatch triage tools have good sensitivity to detect ACS and life-threatening conditions although they are used to triage sign and symptoms rather than diagnosing the patients. On the other hand, prediction models were built to detect ACS and life-threatening conditions and therefore it showed better sensitivity and NPV.ConclusionEMS dispatch systems accuracy for ACS and life-threatening conditions associated with chest pain is good. Since the dispatch tools were built to triage ambulance response priority based on sign and symptoms, this led to over triage among non-life-threatening chest pain patients. Over triage were slightly reduced by deriving prediction models and showed better sensitivity.
