Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and long-term mortality in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods A total of 266 CTO patients undergoing PCI were selected and divided into a high PNI group (PNI ≥48.5) (n=134) and a low PNI group (PNI<48.5) (n=132) based on PNI, and also divided into a survival group (n=227) and a death group (n=39) according to the endpoint event of all-cause death.The influencing factors of long-term mortality rate in patients undergoing PCI for CTO were analyzed.
Results Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that advanced age and low PNI were independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in CTO patients (P < 0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that long-term MACE of patients in the low PNI group was significantly higher than that in the high PNI group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions PNI at admission is an independent predictor of long-term mortality in CTO patients undergoing PCI.
