Popis: BackgroundTo investigate the potential correlation of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to coronary blood flow and in-hospital along with long-term mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).MethodsIn the current study, 636 consecutive patients with STEMI were recruited and stratified into three tertiles by NLRs upon admission (tertile I6.40). The coronary blood flow was expressed by corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC). The in-hospital mortality and 12-month long follow-up data were collected. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were also constructed.ResultsOur analysis demonstrated that NLR was positively correlated to CTFC and in-hospital mortality (r=0.517, p
