- Abstract
The goal of this investigation was to explore the relationship between serum uric acid/albumin ratio (UAR) and no-reflow (NR) in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients (n = 838) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Angiographic NR was defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flows 0, 1, and 2 in the absence of coronary spasm or dissection. NR developed in 91 (10.9%) STEMI patients. Patients with NR had higher UAR and according to multivariable logistic regression models, a high UAR was an independent risk factor for NR. The area under the curve (AUC) value of the UAR was.760 (95%CI:.720-.801) in a receiver-operating characteristics curve (ROC) assessment. Notably, the UAR AUC value was greater than that of its components: albumin (AUC:.642) and serum uric acid (AUC:.637) (P <.05 for both comparisons). The optimum UAR value in detecting NR in STEMI patients was >1.21 with a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 67%. This was the first study to report that the UAR was independently associated with NR in STEMI patients who underwent pPCI.
