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).
