“…In these subjects, the association between high MHR values and in-hospital MACE showed an HR of 1.41 (95% CI, 1.14-1.73) and an HR of 1.44 with long-term MACE (95% CI, 1.23-1.68; M. S. Cetin et al, 2016). In addition, significantly higher MHR values were observed in STEMI patients with no reflow phenomenon compared with those of the reflow patients; in these patients, after pPCI, MHR levels were reported as independent predictors of no reflow (OR, 1.09; 95%CI, 1.07-1.12; Balta et al, 2016). Moreover, it was reported that the rates of in-hospital mortality and MACE were higher in patients with STEMI after pPCI who had higher MHR values compared with those with lower MHR values (Karataş et al, 2016), and elevated MHR levels independently predicted in-hospital mortality (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05) and MACE (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04) in these patients (Çiçek, Kundi, Bozbay, Yayla, & Uyarel, 2016;Karataş et al, 2016).…”
