Incremental Prognostic Value of Admission Blood Glucose to Albumin Ratio in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study

Background: Blood glucose and serum albumin can be biomarkers at admission since they are easily accessible and demonstrate correlations with cardiovascular diseases. The predictive ability of the admission blood glucose to albumin ratio (AAR) for long-term prognosis in patients w...

description Background: Blood glucose and serum albumin can be biomarkers at admission since they are easily accessible and demonstrate correlations with cardiovascular diseases. The predictive ability of the admission blood glucose to albumin ratio (AAR) for long-term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and its potential to elevate the predictive value of the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score in ACS patients post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unknown. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the incremental prognostic value of the AAR in patients with ACS undergoing PCI. Methods: A rigorous development-validation approach was implemented to optimize the GRACE risk score, utilizing the AAR parameter in 1498 patients suffering from ACS after PCI at the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Results: Over a median of 31.25 (27.53, 35.10) months, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), defined as a composite outcome encompassing all-cause death, cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and unplanned repeat revascularization, was higher in individuals with higher AARs. Thus, the AAR was an independent predictor of long-term prognosis in ACS patients undergoing PCI (HR, 1.145; 95% CI: 1.045–1.255; p = 0.004). The integration of the AAR score with the GRACE risk score increased the C statistic from 0.717 (95% CI: 0.694–0.740) to 0.733 (95% CI: 0.690–0.776) (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The AAR is an independent predictor of prognosis in ACS patients and significantly increased the predictive value of the GRACE risk score.
