Abstract: BACKGROUND: Few studies have focused on the relationship between the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and the prognosis of elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the SIRI for predicting 3-year outcomes in patients >60 years old after stent implantation and to assess variables associated with SIRI. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 1,758 patients with ACS who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled and divided into an older group (n = 960) and a younger group (n = 798) using a cutoff of >60 years. Major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) including all-cause death, nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and nonfatal stroke were recorded. RESULTS: During follow-up, 165 patients experienced 1 or more MACEs. Patients in the older group had a greater incidence of recurrent MACEs and mortality than those in the younger group. The SIRIs were significantly greater in the older group. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the level of the SIRI was significantly associated with age, hypertension, diagnosis of AMI, number of diseased vessels, and platelet count. The SIRI was an independent predictive risk factor for MACEs in patients >60 years old. Similar relationships between the SIRI and MACEs were also observed in ACS patients with and without AMI. CONCLUSIONS: The SIRI was an independent predictive risk factor for MACEs in patients aged >60 years with ACS and ACS with or without AMI after stent implantation during 3 years of follow-up. The SIRI can be used as an indicator for identifying high-risk patients for intensive therapy to further reduce MACEs in the PCI era.
