Predictive Value of QTcBaz Combined with NPAR and hs-CRP for Post-PCI MACEs in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Objective To investigate the predictive value of QTcBaz combined with neutrophil percentage/ albumin ratio
and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein for major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACEs) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction
and to compare the impact of different heart rate correction formulas on prognostic assessment. Methods A retrospective analysis of 288 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients were categorized into an event group (
n
=72) and a non-event group (
n
=216) based on the occurrence of MACEs p
ostoperatively. The optimal electrophysiological indicator was identified by comparing QTc intervals derived from the Bazett
Fridericia
Framingham
and Hodges formulas. Independent risk factors were selected using multivariate logistic regression
and a stepwise predictive model was constructed.
Results
2
①Multiple QTc correction indices in the event group (QTcBaz
QTcFri
QTcFra
and QTcHo) were significantly higher than those in the non-event group (
P
<
0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that QTcBaz exhibited the highest predictive performance (AUC=0.734)
significantly outperforming other correction formulas; ②Multivariate regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for age
cardiac function
and coronary artery disease severity
QTcBaz[
OR
=1.024 95%
CI
(1.013~1.035)
]
、NPAR[
OR
=3.518 95%
CI
(1.205~10.271)
]
and (hs-CRP)[
OR
=1.955 95%
CI
(1.397~2.736)
]
were independent risk factors for MACEs (all
P
<
0.05); ③Model performance: The AUC of the baseline clinical model (Model A) was 0.831; The final combined model (Model D)
integrating electrical vulnerability and inflammatory burden dimensions
demonstrated optimal performance with an AUC of 0.882
sensitivity of 86.5%
and specificity of 80.4%. Its predictive value significantly surpassed that of traditional clinical models (∆AUC=0.051
Z
=3.894
P
<
0.001).
Conclusions
2
QTcBaz
NPAR
and hs-CRP are all independent prognostic factors for postoperative MACEs in AMI patients. Among various heart rate correction formulas
QTcBaz demonstrates superior risk identification performance.Combining these with traditional clinical indicators
along with electrocardiographic and inflammatory markers
