Background Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of both coronary artery disease (CAD) and liver disease, and it has been reported that the GGT-to-platelet ratio (GPR) is an independent predictor for adverse outcomes from liver fibrosis and hepatic carcinoma. However, the relation between the GPR and adverse outcomes in CAD patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been investigated. Methods A total of 5,636 patients enrolled in Clinical Outcomes and Risk Factors of Patients with Coronary Heart Disease after PCI, a retrospective cohort study, from January 2008 to December 2016, were divided into two groups according to GPR (GPR < 0.12, n = 2,769 and GPR ≥ 0.12, n = 2,867). The primary outcome was long-term mortality including all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM) after PCI. The average follow-up time was 35.9 ± 22.6 months. Results We found that there were significant differences between the two groups in the incidences of ACM (p = 0.011), CM (p = 0.001), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs, p < 0.024), major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs, p = 0.014) and bleeding events (p = 0.003). Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that GPR was an independent predictor for ACM (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.536 [95% confidence interval [CI]:1.162–2.032], p = 0.003), CM (HR: 1.763 [95% CI: 1.283–2.424], p < 0.001), MACCEs (HR: 1.269 [95% CI: 1.066–1.511], p = 0.007) and MACEs (HR: 1.308 [95% CI: 1.089–1.570], p = 0.004) in stable CAD patients but that it was an independent predictor for only the incidence of bleeding events (HR: 3.104 [95% CI: 1.680–5.736], p < 0.001) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Conclusion This study indicates that GPR is an independent and novel predictor of adverse long-term outcomes in CAD patients who underwent PCI.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate prognostic value of the combination of monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for predicting long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingCivil Aviation General Hospital, Beijing, China.Participants678 patients with NSTEMI undergoing primary PCI between July 2010 and July 2015 were enrolled.Main outcome measuresThe main outcomes were MACE. The cumulative MACE-free survival rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and the independent predictors of MACE were assessed by Cox regression analysis.ResultsAccording to the cut-off values of MLR 0.36 and NLR 2.15, the study population was classified into four groups: low MLR + low NLR group (n=319), low MLR + high NLR group (n=126), high MLR + low NLR group (n=102) and high MLR + high NLR group (n=131). The high MLR + high NLR group had a lower MACE-free survival rate than the other three groups (p logrank <0.001). Both MLR (HR 2.128, 95% CI 1.458 to 3.105) and NLR (HR 1.925, 95% CI 1.385 to 2.676) were independent predictors of long-term MACE. Moreover, the patients in the high MLR + high NLR group had an HR of 4.055 (95% CI 2.550 to 6.448) for long-term MACE, with the low-MLR + low NLR group as reference. Comparisons of receiver operating characteristic curves revealed that the combination of MLR with NLR achieved better performance in differentiating long-term MACE, compared with MLR, NLR, high-sensitivity C reactive protein and brain natriuretic peptide alone, and had similar performance to all other pairwise combinations of the four biomarkers.ConclusionsElevated levels of MLR and NLR were independent predictors of long-term MACE in patients with NSTEMI. Moreover, the combination of MLR and NLR could improve the prognostic value in predicting long-term MACE.
