Abstract:Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum growth arrest specific 6 (Gas6) levels combined with CHA2DS2-VASc score on the short-term occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods Two hundred and twenty patients with STEMI treated with PCI admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from July 2020 to June 2022 were selected as the STEMI group, and STEMI patients were divided into MACE and non-MACE groups according to whether MACE occurred 3 months after PCI, and 68 healthy physical examination volunteers were selected as the control group during the same period. Clinical data of STEMI patients were collected, serum Gas6 levels were measured, and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were calculated. Multi-factor logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the short-term occurrence of MACE after PCI in STEMI patients, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze the predictive value of serum Gas6 levels and CHA2DS2-VASc scores on the short-term occurrence of MACE after PCI in STEMI patients.Results The level of serum Gas6 in STEMI group was lower than that in control group (P < 0.05). Following up for 3 months, the incidence of MACE in 220 STEMI patients after PCI was 18.64% (41/220). The age, proportion of multi-vessel lesions, proportion of KILLIP grade ≥ grade Ⅱ, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, creatinine, and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in the MACE group were higher than those in the non-MACE group, while the proportion of single-vessel lesions, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), hemoglobin, and Gas6 were lower than those in the non-MACE group (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age [O^R = 1.227 (95% CI: 1.020, 1.476)], multi-vessel lesions [O^R = 2.475 (95% CI: 1.327, 4.616) ], KILLIP grade ≥ grade Ⅱ [O^R = 4.050 (95% CI: 1.327, 12.355) ], and the CHA2DS2-VASc score [O^R = 1.849 (95% CI: 1.385, 2.468) ] were independent risk factors for MACE after PCI in STEMI patients, The LVEF [O^R = 0.878 (95% CI: 0.796, 0.968) ] and Gas6 [O^R = 0.547 (95% CI: 0.378, 0.793) ] were independent protective factors (P < 0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of Gas6 combined with CHA2DS2-VASc score for predicting MACE in STEMI patients after PCI was the highest, which was 0.854 (95% CI: 0.800, 0.898), and sensitivity was 78.05% (95% CI: 0.624, 0.894), the specificity was 84.92% (95% CI: 0.788, 0.898).Conclusion Serum Gas6 levels and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were strongly associated with the short-term occurrence of MACE after PCI in STEMI patients, and the combination of the two was of high value in predicting the short-term occurrence of MACE after PCI in STEMI patients.
