Results
A total of 822 patients who underwent p-PCI due to STEMI and have IRA patency rates were included in the study. The average age of 822 patients was 55±12, and 84.3% (693) of the patients were male. The mean CAR level of all study patients was 0.26 (0.08-0.48). The patients were divided into two as TIMI 0-1 and TIMI 2-3 according to the IRA patency rate. Of the patients included in this study, 67% were of TIMI flow 0-1 (n = 551), 33% of TIMI flow 2-3 (n=271).
The baseline demographic, clinical, laboratory and angiographic characteristic features of the study patients according to TIMI flow are listed in Table 1. CAR level was found statistically significantly higher In the TIMI flow 0-1 group compared to TIMI flow 2-3 group [0.31 (0.09-0.51) vs 0.23 (0.06-0.42); p<0.001]. In the TIMI flow 0-1 group, there were statistically significant decreases in hemoglobin, platelet count, albumin level, e-GFR, and left ventricular EF, while there were significant increases in neutrophil count, C-reactive protein, lymphocyte count and heart rate when compared to TIMI 2-3 group (Table 1).
