Evaluation of complete blood count parametersin patient with acute myocardial infarction over80 years of age and under 40 years of age

Abstract

Aim In our study, we compared the values of whole blood count (CBC) parameters, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) parameters of patients over 80 years and under 40 years of age with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods We performed a retrospective study between 2011 and 2016 by screening the files of AMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention. A total of 259 patients under
40 years of age (Group 1) and over 80 years of age (Group 2) were included in the study.Results When the hematological parameters were examined, white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte, thrombocyte, hemoglobin, hematocrit numbers were found to be significantly higher in Group 1 patients. When PLR and NLR were examined (105.8 ± 67.6 & 149.2 ± 94; p <0.001, 3.2 ± 3.2 & 4.2 ± 4.4, p < 0.074 respectively), PLR was significantly higher in group 1. When the age was correlated with hematological and biochemical parameters, there was a significant negative correlation with WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet, was and a positive correlation with PLR, NLR, red blood cell distribution width (RDW), Gensini score and creatinine.Conclusion In elderly patients over 80 years, the hematological response of cells to acute events such as AMI was reduced due to the decreased bone marrow function.
