The present study aimed to examine the association of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) with short-term major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). We included 539 STEMI patient treated with pPCI in this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to MACE development. Patients with MACE had higher CAR than those without (1.18 [0.29-1.99] vs 0.21 [0.09-0.49], P < .001). Multivariate analysis showed that The Global Record for Acute Coronary Events score, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score, glucose and CAR (odds ratio:1.326, 95% CI: 1.212-1452, P < .001) were independent predictors of MACE. The CAR may be proven useful for risk stratification in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI.
