Insights
The pan-immune-inflammatory value (PIV) can predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. High PIV levels indicate a higher risk of MACEs within one year post-procedure.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Inflammation Biomarkers
- Clinical Outcomes Prediction
Background:
- Blood cell-derived indices show promise in predicting cardiovascular outcomes.
- Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS) requires accurate prognostic tools.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the prognostic value of the pan-immune-inflammatory value (PIV) for 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in ACS patients.
- To determine if PIV is an independent predictor of MACEs.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 1651 patients with non-ST-segment elevation ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
- Calculation of PIV from blood cell counts, with a cut-off value determined by ROC analysis.
- Multivariate analysis to identify independent predictors of MACEs, including age, renal dysfunction, and PIV.
Main Results:
- The incidence of MACEs was significantly higher in patients with high PIV (9.7%) compared to low PIV (5.0%) (p < 0.001).
- High PIV (>256.3) was identified as an independent predictor of 1-year MACEs (HR 1.49, p = 0.048), alongside age and renal dysfunction.
- Subgroup analyses showed no significant interaction between PIV and myocardial infarction status or C-reactive protein levels.
Conclusions:
- The pan-immune-inflammatory value (PIV) is an independent predictor of 1-year MACEs in patients with non-ST-segment elevation ACS.
- PIV may serve as a valuable prognostic marker, irrespective of myocardial infarction status or C-reactive protein levels.
Abstract:
Blood cell-derived indices are potential predictors of clinical outcomes in coronary artery disease. This study assessed the prognostic value of the pan-immune-inflammatory value (PIV) for predicting 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A retrospective cohort of 1651 patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention was analyzed. PIV, calculated from blood cell counts, was categorized with a cut-off value of 256.3 (sensitivity 60.7%, specificity 59.3%) based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. MACEs were operationalized as a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, any revascularization, and rehospitalization for heart failure. The incidence of MACEs was 5.0% in patients with low PIV and 9.7% in those with high PIV (log-rank p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified age 65 > years, renal dysfunction (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2), and high PIV (>256.3) (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.01-2.22, p = 0.048) as independent predictors of MACEs. Subgroup analyses revealed no statistically significant interaction between MI status or C-reactive protein levels and PIV. PIV was an independent predictor of 1-year MACEs in patients with non-ST-segment elevation ACS. It may serve as a reliable prognostic marker independently of MI or C-reactive protein levels.
