description Abstract Background Myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (MIRI) after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) significantly impacts clinical outcomes. However, only a few studies have examined its clinical predictors and prognostic biomarkers. Methods Patients with STEMI who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Liaoning Provincial People's Hospital between 2020 and 2021 were enrolled in the study. Based on a thorough evaluation of clinical features, which included data obtained from intraoperative angiography and inpatient monitoring, patients were divided into the MIRI group and the non-MIRI group. Upon admission, serum solube growth stimulation expressed gene 2 protein (sST2) levels were assessed, and follow-up examinations were conducted for the patients. Results Patients with MIRI who were admitted to the hospital present elevated serum sST2 levels (P < 0.001). Serum sST2 was recognized as a standalone risk factor contributing to the occurrence of MIRI in STEMI patients who are undergoing PCI (P < 0.001). Throughout the follow-up duration, 37 (17.0%) patients encountered major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular incidents (MACCEs), which included eight (3.6%) deaths from all causes. The Kaplan–Meier assessment revealed that individuals in the MIRI group had an unfavorable prognosis (all log-rank P < 0.05). Both univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were established using MIRI patients as the study cohort. The findings indicated that sST2 levels exceeding 68.98 ng/mL served as one of independent risk factors for predicting MACCEs (all P < 0.001). The model was evaluated using the C-index, AUC, calibration plot, and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) curve. Conclusion Elevated levels of serum sST2 may accurately predict the onset of MIRI following PCI in STEMI patients. Specifically, a serum sST2 concentration > 68.98 ng/mL is a prominent independent risk predictor for overall mortality and MACCE in individuals experiencing MIRI. Graphical Abstract
