Objective:
The Naples Score (NS) predicts adverse outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, but the relationship between NS and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with STEMI has not been studied. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of NS at admission in predicting SYNTAX Score (SS).
Method:
We gathered the data from 499 consecutive STEMI patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention between January 2018 and September 2020. Patients were divided into two groups: low SS group (≤22) and intermediate to high SS group (>22). NS was calculated for both groups besides baseline clinical and demographic variables.
Results:
NS was higher in the intermediate to high SS group and the SS was increasing as the NS escalates. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the NS was an independent predictor of intermediate to high SS. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between SS and NS.
Conclusion:
Presentation NS predicts CAD complexity in patients with STEMI.
