Abstract
Background: The incidence of composite endpoint of early safety (CEES) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been a topic of focus within the cardiovascular field due to its impact on long-term patient outcomes. Timely prophylactic interventions are crucial for patients identified as high risk for CEES through preoperative risk stratification.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the connection between inflammatory and nutritional markers, specifically the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and CEES occurrence.
Material and methods: A cohort of 134 patients undergoing TAVR in a single center was studied. The study endpoint was the occurrence of CEES, which was defined according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium 3.
Results: The CEES was reached in 25.4% of patients at 30 days. A high NLR was associated with a 5.55-fold increased risk of CEES (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.52-20.29; p < 0.05), while a low PNI was linked to a 4.43-fold increased risk (95% CI: 1.55-12.65; p < 0.01). Combining NLR and PNI provided additional risk stratification for high-risk patients (hazard ratio (HR), 95% CI: 2.24-43.37; p < 0.005).
Conclusions: A high NLR and low PNI were shown to be significant predictors of CEES following TAVR. These findings underscore the significance of NLR and PNI in the risk assessment of TAVR patients, offering valuable insights for preventive measures.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. Establishing the medical journal was the idea of Prof. Bogumił Halawa, Chair of the Department of Cardiology, and was fully supported by the Rector of Wroclaw Medical University, Prof. Zbigniew Knapik. Prof. Halawa was also the first editor-in-chief, between 1992-1997. The journal, then entitled "Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej", appeared quarterly.
Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997-1999. In 1998 he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English were welcomed. A number of outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff.
Prof. Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in years 2000-2005, in years 2006-2007 once again prof. Leszek Paradowski and prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak was editor-in-chief in years 2008-2016. Since 2017 the editor-in chief is prof. Maciej Bagłaj.
Since July 2005, original papers have been published only in English. Case reports are no longer accepted. The manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers and a statistical reviewer, and English texts are proofread by a native speaker.
The journal has been indexed in several databases: Scopus, Ulrich’sTM International Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus and since 2007 in Thomson Reuters databases: Science Citation Index Expanded i Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
In 2010 the journal obtained Impact Factor which is now 1.179 pts. Articles published in the journal are worth 15 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 169.43 points according to the Index Copernicus.
Since November 7, 2012, Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been indexed and included in National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. English abstracts printed in the journal are included and searchable using PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
