Prediction of Troponin Elevation in Non- ST Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients presenting to The Emergency Department Using Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio

Abstract

No significance difference in the level of hemoglobin, WBCs and platelets between the 2 groups. The neutrophil count was significantly higher in the troponin-positive group (p < 0.001). The median admission. NLR was significantly higher in the troponin-positive group (2 vs. 3.9, P < 0.001). A cutoff point of 3.4 for NLR measured on admission had 84% sensitivity and 84% specificity in predicting follow-up troponin positivity. A highly significant correlation was found between NLR and level of troponin change (p value <0.01)
