Insights
The novel Systemic Immune Inflammation Response Index (SIIRI) effectively predicts contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). SIIRI offers superior predictive ability compared to the Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII).
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Nephrology
- Inflammation markers
Background:
- Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a significant complication following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
- The Systemic Immune Inflammation Response Index (SIIRI), a novel inflammatory marker, has shown associations with coronary artery disease severity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the predictive capability of SIIRI for CIN development in STEMI patients post-pPCI.
- To develop and validate a nomogram utilizing SIIRI for CIN risk stratification.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 2289 STEMI patients undergoing pPCI was analyzed.
- CIN was defined as a >0.5 mg/dL or 25% increase in serum creatinine within 72 hours post-pPCI.
- A nomogram was constructed and validated for predicting CIN risk based on SIIRI and other clinical factors.
Main Results:
- Patients who developed CIN (219) exhibited significantly higher SIIRI levels compared to those who did not (2070).
- SIIRI was identified as an independent predictor of CIN and demonstrated superior discrimination compared to the Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII).
- The SIIRI-based nomogram showed good calibration and discrimination for predicting CIN, outperforming a baseline model when SIIRI was added.
Conclusions:
- SIIRI is a valuable and independent predictor of CIN in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI.
- The developed SIIRI-based nomogram provides a useful tool for risk stratification of CIN.
- SIIRI offers enhanced predictive performance over SII for CIN detection in this patient population.
Abstract:
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a prominent complication of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The systemic immune inflammation response index (SIIRI) is a novel inflammatory marker developed by multiplying the monocyte count by the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and is associated with coronary artery disease severity. We investigated the predictive ability of SIIRI for detecting CIN in STEMI patients (n = 2289) following pPCI and developed a nomogram based on SIIRI for risk stratifying. CIN was diagnosed based on an elevation in baseline creatinine levels >.5 mg/dL or 25% within 72 h after pPCI; 219 CIN (+) and 2070 CIN (-) patients were included. CIN (+) patients had higher SIIRI than CIN (-) patients and SIIRI was an independent predictor of CIN. A nomogram based on SIIRI had good calibration and discrimination abilities for predicting CIN development. SIIRI was superior to SII in discriminating CIN (+) patients. Adding SIIRI to the baseline model, which consists of age, hypertension, hemoglobin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, albumin, ejection fraction, lesion length, and pain-to-balloon time, had a higher discriminative ability and benefit in detecting CIN (+) patients than baseline model as assessed by decision curve analysis.
