CUESTA-MERO, Paola L.; GARCIA-ROMO, Laura A.  y  VILLACRES-LOPEZ, Álvaro D.. Leukoglucemic index as a prognostic marker for complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.2, pp.119-127.  Epub 10-Jun-2021. ISSN 0120-5633.  https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m21000023.

Introduction:

Leukoglycemic index is a poorly known and used prognostic factor that correlates blood glucose and leukocytes which are taken at hospital admission. Its importance lies in determining complications and mortality risks in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective:

To establish the leukoglycemic index as a predictor of complications during the in-hospital evolution in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Methods:

Epidemiological, observational, cross-sectional, crosssectional study on a cohort of patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction during a period of 1 year 3 months.

Results:

205 patients with acute myocardial infarction were included in this study. The mean age was 62.99 ± 12.2 years old, more frequently in males by 69.3%. It was determined that acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation predominated both in frequency with 63.9%, as well as with a higher rate of complications (p < 0.001). The average of leukoglycemic index was 1578.41 ± 1208.1 and the cut-off point was 656.8, according to ROC curve, with sensitivity of 95.8% and specificity of 73% for the prediction of inhospital complications, OR 7.89.

Conclusions:

A leukoglycemic index greater than 656.8 represents a 7.89-fold risk of developing complications in the study population.
