The relationship between residual SYNTAX score and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients

Aim: The objective of this study was to research the relation between residual SYNTAX score and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Material and Methods: A total of 300 patients with STEMI were included from January 2015 to February 2020. Residual SYNTAX score (RSS) was calculated for each patient after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). RSS>8 was accepted as high RSS. Clinical and laboratory features of the patients including neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were recorded.Results: 109 (36.3%) of the patients had RSS over 8 and classified as high RSS. In the high residual SYNTAX group, while the neutrophil count was higher (p
