Methods A total of 3,340 consecutive patients who underwent CAG and/or PCI between May 2017 and December 2022 were enrolled in this study. Based on their baseline IPI levels, patients were categorized into four groups. Clinical characteristics and postoperative outcomes were compared among these groups. In-hospital outcomes focused on CIN risk, repeated revascularization, major bleeding, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), while the long-term outcome examined the all-cause readmission rate. Results Quartile analysis found a significant link between IPI levels and CIN risk, notably in the highest quartile ( p < 0.001). Even after adjusting for baseline factors, this association remained significant, with an adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) of 2.33 (95%CI 1.50–3.64; p = 0.001). Notably, baseline IPI level emerged as an independent predictor of severe arrhythmia, with aOR of 0.50 (95%CI 0.35–0.69; p < 0.001), particularly driven by the highest quartile. Furthermore, a significant correlation between IPI and acute myocardial infarction was observed ( p < 0.001), which remained significant post-adjustment. Conclusions For patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI, baseline IPI levels can independently predict clinical prognosis. As a comprehensive inflammation indicator, IPI effectively identifies high-risk patients post-procedure. This study underscores IPI's potential to assist medical professionals in making more precise clinical decisions, ultimately reducing mortality and readmission rates linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is particularly prevalent and associated with high mortality rates 2 . Consequently, coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are crucial diagnostic and treatment modalities. However, despite PCI's benefits for long-term prognosis, risks like contrast-induced nephropathy and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) remain significant 3 , 4 , contributing to increased mortality and readmission rates. Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) refers to acute kidney injury following exposure to iodinated contrast agents. It typically occurs 1–3 days post-exposure, associated with poorer prognosis including increased hospitalization rates and costs 5 , 6 . Incidence can range from 20–25% in patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI, reaching 40% in high-risk cohorts 7 , 8 . While the exact cause of CIN variability remains unclear, enhanced inflammatory response is considered significant 9 , 10 . Identifying inflammatory markers predicting CIN is crucial to mitigate complications. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum albumin (ALB) are established indicators of inflammation and atherosclerosis pathogenesis. Combining these into an inflammatory prognostic index (IPI) offers a more comprehensive assessment of inflammatory status. IPI has shown clinical significance in various fields but lacks evidence in predicting CIN and its relationship with clinical outcomes in CAG and/or PCI patients is unclear. NLR 11 , CRP 13 , and ALB 14 indicate systemic inflammation and atherosclerosis development. However, individual markers lack completeness. Building upon this rationale, some scholars have proposed an IPI 15 . IPI combines CRP, NLR, and ALB, offering a better reflection of patients' inflammatory status. Initially used in predicting outcomes for cancer patients 16 , its significance in cardiovascular contexts, like cardiac surgery 18 , has been recognized. Yet, its predictive value for CIN in CAG and/or PCI patients and its link to clinical outcomes remain unexplored. This study aims to investigate the role of IPI in predicting CIN risk and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI, offering a practical predictive method. This could assist healthcare professionals in making more precise decisions, potentially lowering mortality and readmission rates in CHD patients. Methods Study design and population We collected retrospective data from 16,759 patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital between May 2017 and December 2022. Exclusion criteria were age < 18, missing or limited serum creatinine data, on-pump CABG, contrast agent allergies, ongoing dialysis, and missing data or discharge status. 3,340 patients were included for analysis. The study was approved by the hospital's Ethics Committee and followed the Declaration of Helsinki. Data collection and clinical definition We obtained baseline data from the Electronic Medical Records System of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, which primarily comprised sociodemographic information, admission and discharge diagnoses, results of laboratory and imaging tests, medication details, procedural characteristics, and discharge outcomes. Laboratory tests were conducted at the Laboratory Center of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital. Venous blood samples were collected after a fasting period of over 8 hours, with water deprivation during the final 3–4 hours of the fast. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM) and stroke were defined using the 10th Revision Codes of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) 19 . The guidelines for the prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia in Chinese adults (2016) 20 , were used to define the diagnosis of hyperlipemia. The diagnostic criteria of chronic kidney disease (CKD) were based on Guidelines for the Screening, Diagnosis and Prevention of Chronic kidney Disease in China (2017) 21 , estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60mL/min/1.73m 2 and calculated with MDRD formula 22 . CIN was defined as an absolute increase 44.2 µmol/L (0.5 mg/dL) or a relative increase of 25% in serum creatinine level from baseline within 48 to 72 h after intravascular use of iodinated contrast agents. Measurements Venous blood samples collected within 24 hours of admission were used to measure neutrophils (N), lymphocytes (L), ALB, and CRP. These parameters were used to calculate two inflammatory biomarkers: the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR = N/L) and the inflammatory prognostic index (IPI = CRP×NLR/ALB). Baseline values for other laboratory parameters were determined based on recent preoperative serum creatinine levels and additional indicators. Outcomes measured In-hospital outcomes included CIN risk, repeated revascularization, major bleeding, and MACE. Repeated revascularization meant placing additional stents, excluding the initial one. Major bleeding included intracranial, upper, and lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. MACE covered postoperative AMI, acute heart failure, stroke, severe arrhythmia, and all-cause in-hospital mortality. AMI was diagnosed with serum enzyme elevation and symptoms. AHF involved sudden symptoms due to cardiac dysfunction. Severe arrhythmias included atrioventricular block, atrial flutter or fibrillation, and ventricular flutter or fibrillation. Data were from discharge summaries and postoperative records. Long-term endpoint was all-cause readmission rate, confirmed through medical records or communication. Follow-up averaged 1 year. Statistical analysis In order to assess the impact of IPI levels on clinical outcomes in patients, we divided IPI into four groups based on quartiles. Enumeration data were expressed as numbers and percentage values (%), analyzed using the χ 2 test.When χ 2 test test conditions were not met, Fisher exact test was used, and values of P < 0.05 (two-sided) were considered significant. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to test the normality of continuous variables. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (for normal distribution) and analyzed using ANOVA analysis, or as median and interquartile range (IQR) for non-normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney U test was used. First, univariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the potential risk factors for in-hospital mortality ( P < 0.05), and then multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to confirm that the previously significant variables were independent factors ( P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression and Kaplan-Meier survival curve were used to evaluate all-cause readmission rate. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 26.0 software (IBM, Armonk, New York, USA). Results Baseline characteristics Among the 3,340 patients who underwent CAG and/or PCI, the average age was 63.96 ± 10.53 years, with 922 (27.6%) being female, and 1950 (58.4%) undergoing PCI. The mean IPI level in these patients was 0.74 [interquartile range: 0.11, 1.94]. Patients were stratified into four groups based on baseline IPI levels (Group 1,≤0.11, n = 835; Group 2, 0.12–0.74, n = 835; Group 3, 0.75–1.93, n = 835; Group 4, ≥ 1.94, n = 835). Notably, higher IPI levels were associated with increased incidence of valvular heart disease (VHD) (41.7%, p < 0.001), heart failure (HF) (6.3%, p < 0.001), liver dysfunction (11.4%, p < 0.001), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) (16.6%, p < 0.001). Conversely, the incidence of hypertension (50.2%, p < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (DM) (27.4%, p < 0.001), hyperlipidemia (21.2%, p < 0.001), and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (39.8%, p < 0.001) was lower in patients with higher IPI levels. Furthermore, patients in the highest IPI quartile had a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) (23.5%, p < 0.001), pulmonary hypertension (17.8%, p < 0.001), and pulmonary infection (65.4%, p < 0.001), and tended to have longer hospital stays ( p < 0.001). However, they had a lower history of myocardial infarction (2.3%, p < 0.001) and PCI (7.1%, p < 0.001). It is worth noting that with increasing IPI levels, patients' admission systolic and diastolic blood pressures, as well as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), were negatively correlated ( p < 0.001). Patients in group 4 exhibited elevated preoperative creatinine levels ( p < 0.001) and baseline urea nitrogen levels ( p < 0.001). However, these patients also displayed a tendency toward reduced glomerular filtration rates ( p < 0.001). Conversely, individuals with higher IPI levels tended to have elevated absolute neutrophil counts ( p < 0.001) and white blood cell counts (WBC) ( p < 0.001), but diminished absolute lymphocyte counts ( p < 0.001). Moreover, the NLR was notably higher among subjects with IPI levels in the second and fourth quartiles ( p < 0.001). Additionally, patients with IPI levels in the highest quartile exhibited decreased red blood cell count (RBC) levels ( p < 0.001), concomitant with reductions in ALP ( p < 0.001) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels ( p < 0.001), while CRP ( p < 0.001) and blood glucose ( p < 0.001) levels increased. Patients in group 4 had higher levels of preoperative creatinine ( p < 0.001) and baseline urea nitrogen ( p < 0.001), but these patients also tended to have lower glomerular filtration rate ( p < 0.001). Individuals with higher IPI levels tended to have higher absolute neutrophil counts ( p < 0.001) and white blood cell counts (WBC) ( p < 0.001), but had lower absolute lymphocyte counts ( p < 0.001). At the same time, NLR was higher in subjects with IPI levels in the second and fourth quartiles ( p < 0.001). In addition, patients with IPI levels in the highest quartile had lower RBC levels ( p < 0.001), accompanied by a decrease in ALP( p < 0.001), hemoglobin (Hb) ( p < 0.001), while CRP ( p < 0.001) and blood glucose ( p < 0.001) levels increased. In terms of medication, we observed that the use of diuretics increased in tandem with higher IPI levels. Conversely, the use of other medications such as calcium channel blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, angiotensin receptor enkephalinase inhibitors (ACEI/ARB/ARNI),β-blockers, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), and statins exhibited an inverse relationship with IPI levels ( p < 0.001). Regarding surgical characteristics, it is noteworthy that patients in the highest quartile of IPI levels had the highest number of infarcted arteries ( p < 0.001). Conversely, patients with IPI levels in the lowest quartile were more likely to receive hydration therapy ( p < 0.001) and undergo repeat angiography within seven days ( p < 0.001), with a greater amount of contrast agent used. Furthermore, there was a significant negative correlation between IPI levels and the likelihood of undergoing PCI (80.4 vs 65.7 vs 49.2 vs 38.2%, p < 0.001), indicating that patients with lower IPI levels were more inclined to undergo PCI. More detailed baseline information is provided in Table 1 . Table 1 Baseline characteristics in patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI.

These results reveal a strong positive correlation between high IPI levels and the risk of CIN. Even after adjusting for baseline confounders in model 2, this difference remained significant ( p = 0.001). Notably, variables such as absolute neutrophil count, white blood cell count, absolute lymphocyte count, and hemoglobin were excluded from the model due to collinearity (variance inflation factor [VIF] > 5). Subgroup analysis indicated that male patients faced a 1.44 times higher risk of CIN compared to females. Moreover, PCI and DAPT were identified as protective factors against CIN ( p < 0.05), while preoperative CKD, pulmonary infection, diuretic use, NYHA class III, and glomerular filtration rate emerged as independent risk factors ( p < 0.05) (Fig. 1 ). Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was observed between patients' IPI levels and all-cause in-hospital mortality (0.2% vs 1.1% vs 1.3% vs 3.4%, p < 0.001), with the highest quartile driving this association. However, multivariate logistic regression analysis failed to confirm this relationship (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.50; 95% CI 0.49–12.78; p = 0.348). Additionally, there were no significant differences in the incidence of repeated revascularization and major bleeding across different IPI levels ( p > 0.05). These conclusions were further supported by adjusted results. In addition, different baseline IPI levels were found to be independently associated with postoperative MACE, including arrhythmia and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI ( p < 0.001). Specifically, the incidence of arrhythmia was highest among patients with baseline IPI levels in the highest quartile, although no significant difference was initially observed between the groups (3.2%, p > 0.05). However, subsequent multivariate analysis revealed significant differences between the groups (aOR 0.50; 95% CI 0.35–0.69; p < 0.001)(Fig. 2 ). Similarly, baseline IPI levels were independently associated with the risk of AMI in patients (p < 0.001), with this association further confirmed after adjusting for covariates (aOR 3.00; 95% CI 1.89–4.76; p 0.05) (Table 2 ).

According to the results of univariate analysis, a higher baseline IPI level was associated with a lower rate of all-cause readmission ( p < 0.001); however, multivariate analysis did not confirm this result. Kaplan-Meier curves for the all-cause readmission rate as shown below(Fig. 4 )(Table 2 ). Discussion This study is the first to examine the link between IPI levels and the risk of CIN and clinical outcomes in patients having CAG and/or PCI. Higher IPI levels were independently associated with increased CIN risk, and baseline IPI levels predicted severe arrhythmia and AMI. These findings suggest that IPI could be a useful prognostic marker in this patient population. CIN is a complication that often arises in patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI, with notable morbidity and lethality 23 . Its development is likely associated with factors such as immunity, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses 24 . While the exact pathophysiological mechanism remains uncertain, it is hypothesized to involve the cytotoxicity of contrast agents on renal tubules, leading to aggravated renal vasoconstriction, endothelial dysfunction, renal medulla ischemia, and hypoxia, ultimately resulting in renal tubular cell injury and death. Our analysis of 3340 patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI revealed a clear relationship between IPI levels and the risk of CIN. Particularly, patients in the highest quartile of IPI levels, indicative of more severe inflammatory responses, demonstrated a significantly elevated risk of CIN ( p < 0.001). This association persisted even after adjusting for baseline confounders, consistent with prior studies 25 . Additionally, factors such as endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and renal vasoconstriction have been identified as potential contributors to CIN 26 . Furthermore, subgroup analysis indicated that PCI treatment and preoperative use of DAPT were protective against CIN, whereas preoperative CKD and diuretic use increased the risk. These findings are in line with existing research 27 , 28 , suggesting that PCI may improve renal hemodynamics, while diuretic use may exacerbate renal tubular toxicity. Identifying high-risk individuals is crucial for implementing targeted interventions. An increasing body of research suggests that inflammation plays a crucial role in the development and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques, highlighting its significance in CAD 30 – 32 . Our study, focusing on patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI, revealed a notable association between baseline levels of the IPI and postoperative MACE, including AMI and severe arrhythmia ( p < 0.05). Specifically, patients in the highest quartile of IPI demonstrated the highest incidence of AMI, a finding that remained significant even after adjusting for baseline confounders ( p < 0.001). Subsequent subgroup analysis identified hyperlipidemia and the extent of coronary artery involvement as independent risk factors for AMI, while preoperative DAPT emerged as a protective factor, consistent with previous studies 25 . The severity of the inflammatory response, as reflected by IPI levels, correlates with the magnitude of AMI, which is closely linked to immune-inflammatory responses and oxidative stress 34 . The intensity of the inflammatory response during AMI affects infarct size and subsequent ventricular remodeling 35 , serving as an indicator of AMI severity to some extent. Interestingly, while initially no difference in severe arrhythmia incidence was observed among patients with varying IPI levels ( p > 0.05), this association became significant after adjustment ( p < 0.001). Furthermore, subgroup analysis identified atrial fibrillation as an independent risk factor for severe arrhythmia in patients. However, existing research on the relationship between inflammation and arrhythmia risk presents conflicting conclusions 36 , 37 , likely due to variations in study populations and designs. Therefore, future studies with longer follow-up periods and larger, multicenter samples are needed to obtain more definitive evidence on the association between inflammatory factors and arrhythmias. Coronary stent implantation is the primary method for revascularization in patients with CHD 23 . In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a significant postoperative complication that has attracted considerable attention. The pathogenesis of ISR is complex, involving vascular endothelial cell injury, excessive proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), in-stent intimal hyperplasia, in-stent thrombosis, and persistent vascular inflammation. Previous studies have reported that 17–32% of patients with stent implantation develop ISR, typically occurring 6 to 12 months after PCI 38 . However, existing research predominantly focuses on the long-term association between individual inflammatory factor levels and ISR, overlooking the exploration of the relationship between IPI levels and repeated revascularization. Our study findings indicate no significant association between IPI and repeated revascularization (p > 0.05). This contrasts with some prior research conclusions 39 , possibly due to population differences in inflammatory responses and the duration of inflammation persistence. Further investigations are necessary to clarify these inconsistencies and comprehensively understand the role of inflammation in ISR and repeated revascularization. After nearly 1 year of follow-up in this study, a significant correlation was observed between IPI and the all-cause readmission rate. However, after adjusting for covariates, Cox regression analysis did not provide further evidence to support this relationship ( p > 0.05). The study findings indicated that the risk of all-cause readmission in male patients was 1.3 times higher than that in female patients ( p > 0.05), consistent with findings from other studies 17 . This could be attributed to the higher mortality rate and incidence of adverse cardiac events among elderly male patients post-PCI compared to females 12 . Additionally, elderly male patients tend to have higher rates of smoking, drinking, and being overweight compared to females. Furthermore, research by domestic scholars has shown that elderly male patients exhibit lower compliance with chronic disease treatment and medication than elderly female patients 33 , leading to a higher risk of all-cause readmission in male patients. Additionally, we observed significantly lower all-cause readmission rates among patients who underwent PCI compared to those who did not ( p < 0.001). This highlights the importance of focusing on patients who do not receive PCI treatment and ensuring timely PCI intervention based on the disease condition. Limitations Our study has limitations. It's a single-center retrospective study, not multicenter. Future research should prioritize multicenter prospective studies for broader insights. Also, we lack long-term follow-up data, focusing mainly on short-term in-hospital prognosis. Lastly, IPI levels may change during hospitalization, so future studies should monitor them dynamically. Despite limitations, our study is the largest to date and the first to explore IPI levels' association with patient prognosis in coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention. Conclusion This study is the first to investigate the IPI in patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI. We found that IPI is significantly associated with clinical prognosis, predicting the risk of CIN and postoperative outcomes independently. Its affordability and ease of use make it a valuable tool for early intervention strategies. Moving forward, more structured trials with increased participant involvement are needed to confirm our findings.

Conversely, the use of other medications such as calcium channel blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, angiotensin receptor enkephalinase inhibitors (ACEI/ARB/ARNI),β-blockers, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), and statins exhibited an inverse relationship with IPI levels (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001). Regarding surgical characteristics, it is noteworthy that patients in the highest quartile of IPI levels had the highest number of infarcted arteries (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001). Conversely, patients with IPI levels in the lowest quartile were more likely to receive hydration therapy (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001) and undergo repeat angiography within seven days (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001), with a greater amount of contrast agent used. Furthermore, there was a significant negative correlation between IPI levels and the likelihood of undergoing PCI (80.4 vs 65.7 vs 49.2 vs 38.2%, \u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001), indicating that patients with lower IPI levels were more inclined to undergo PCI.

These results reveal a strong positive correlation between high IPI levels and the risk of CIN.

Notably, variables such as absolute neutrophil count, white blood cell count, absolute lymphocyte count, and hemoglobin were excluded from the model due to collinearity (variance inflation factor [VIF]\u0026thinsp;\u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;5). Subgroup analysis indicated that male patients faced a 1.44 times higher risk of CIN compared to females.

Specifically, the incidence of arrhythmia was highest among patients with baseline IPI levels in the highest quartile, although no significant difference was initially observed between the groups (3.2%, \u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;0.05). However, subsequent multivariate analysis revealed significant differences between the groups (aOR 0.50; 95% CI 0.35\u0026ndash;0.69; \u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001)(Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig2\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e). Similarly, baseline IPI levels were independently associated with the risk of AMI in patients (p\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001), with this association further confirmed after adjusting for covariates (aOR 3.00; 95% CI 1.89\u0026ndash;4.76; \u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001)(Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig3\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e).

While the exact pathophysiological mechanism remains uncertain, it is hypothesized to involve the cytotoxicity of contrast agents on renal tubules, leading to aggravated renal vasoconstriction, endothelial dysfunction, renal medulla ischemia, and hypoxia, ultimately resulting in renal tubular cell injury and death. Our analysis of 3340 patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI revealed a clear relationship between IPI levels and the risk of CIN. Particularly, patients in the highest quartile of IPI levels, indicative of more severe inflammatory responses, demonstrated a significantly elevated risk of CIN (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001).

The severity of the inflammatory response, as reflected by IPI levels, correlates with the magnitude of AMI, which is closely linked to immune-inflammatory responses and oxidative stress\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR34\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e34\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e. The intensity of the inflammatory response during AMI affects infarct size and subsequent ventricular remodeling\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e, serving as an indicator of AMI severity to some extent. Interestingly, while initially no difference in severe arrhythmia incidence was observed among patients with varying IPI levels (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;0.05), this association became significant after adjustment (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001). Furthermore, subgroup analysis identified atrial fibrillation as an independent risk factor for severe arrhythmia in patients. However, existing research on the relationship between inflammation and arrhythmia risk presents conflicting conclusions\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e36\u003c/span\u003e,\u003cspan citationid=\"CR37\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e37\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e, likely due to variations in study populations and designs. Therefore, future studies with longer follow-up periods and larger, multicenter samples are needed to obtain more definitive evidence on the association between inflammatory factors and arrhythmias.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoronary stent implantation is the primary method for revascularization in patients with CHD\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e23\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e. In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a significant postoperative complication that has attracted considerable attention. The pathogenesis of ISR is complex, involving vascular endothelial cell injury, excessive proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), in-stent intimal hyperplasia, in-stent thrombosis, and persistent vascular inflammation. Previous studies have reported that 17\u0026ndash;32% of patients with stent implantation develop ISR, typically occurring 6 to 12 months after PCI\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR38\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e38\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e. However, existing research predominantly focuses on the long-term association between individual inflammatory factor levels and ISR, overlooking the exploration of the relationship between IPI levels and repeated revascularization. Our study findings indicate no significant association between IPI and repeated revascularization (p\u0026thinsp;\u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;0.05). This contrasts with some prior research conclusions\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e39\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e, possibly due to population differences in inflammatory responses and the duration of inflammation persistence. Further investigations are necessary to clarify these inconsistencies and comprehensively understand the role of inflammation in ISR and repeated revascularization.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter nearly 1 year of follow-up in this study, a significant correlation was observed between IPI and the all-cause readmission rate. However, after adjusting for covariates, Cox regression analysis did not provide further evidence to support this relationship (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;0.05). The study findings indicated that the risk of all-cause readmission in male patients was 1.3 times higher than that in female patients (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;0.05), consistent with findings from other studies\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e. This could be attributed to the higher mortality rate and incidence of adverse cardiac events among elderly male patients post-PCI compared to females\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e. Additionally, elderly male patients tend to have higher rates of smoking, drinking, and being overweight compared to females. Furthermore, research by domestic scholars has shown that elderly male patients exhibit lower compliance with chronic disease treatment and medication than elderly female patients\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e33\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e, leading to a higher risk of all-cause readmission in male patients. Additionally, we observed significantly lower all-cause readmission rates among patients who underwent PCI compared to those who did not (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001). This highlights the importance of focusing on patients who do not receive PCI treatment and ensuring timely PCI intervention based on the disease condition.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec12\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eLimitations\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur study has limitations. It's a single-center retrospective study, not multicenter. Future research should prioritize multicenter prospective studies for broader insights. Also, we lack long-term follow-up data, focusing mainly on short-term in-hospital prognosis. Lastly, IPI levels may change during hospitalization, so future studies should monitor them dynamically.

Based on their baseline IPI levels, patients were categorized into four groups. Clinical characteristics and postoperative outcomes were compared among these groups. In-hospital outcomes focused on CIN risk, repeated revascularization, major bleeding, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), while the long-term outcome examined the all-cause readmission rate.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuartile analysis found a significant link between IPI levels and CIN risk, notably in the highest quartile (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001). Even after adjusting for baseline factors, this association remained significant, with an adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) of 2.33 (95%CI 1.50\u0026ndash;3.64; \u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.001). Notably, baseline IPI level emerged as an independent predictor of severe arrhythmia, with aOR of 0.50 (95%CI 0.35\u0026ndash;0.69; \u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001), particularly driven by the highest quartile. Furthermore, a significant correlation between IPI and acute myocardial infarction was observed (\u003cem\u003ep\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.001), which remained significant post-adjustment.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConclusions\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI, baseline IPI levels can independently predict clinical prognosis. As a comprehensive inflammation indicator, IPI effectively identifies high-risk patients post-procedure. This study underscores IPI's potential to assist medical professionals in making more precise clinical decisions, ultimately reducing mortality and readmission rates linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD).\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Predictive Value of Inflammatory Prognostic Index for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography and /or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-04-01 16:37:22","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4096614/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2024-05-08T07:18:31+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2024-05-07T08:19:47+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"aa1fe711-5b18-4d03-ad0c-446fe7e26a72","date":"2024-04-20T12:28:19+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2024-04-20T11:28:17+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"dd1b0aec-a4c5-4cb6-9308-0d464fa6481e","date":"2024-04-19T13:05:59+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2024-04-09T14:29:44+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2024-04-08T06:03:19+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"","date":"2024-03-28T09:16:56+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2024-03-26T08:50:56+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Scientific Reports","date":"2024-03-14T02:06:44+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"scientific-reports","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"scirep","sideBox":"Learn more about [Scientific Reports](http://www.nature.com/srep/)","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"","title":"Scientific Reports","twitterHandle":"","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"stoa","reportingPortfolio":"Scientific Reports","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"0b901a7f-a07a-46cf-931c-9b0532afee83","owner":[],"postedDate":"April 1st, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[{"id":30006186,"name":"Health sciences/Cardiology/Cardiovascular biology"},{"id":30006187,"name":"Health sciences/Cardiology/Interventional cardiology"},{"id":30006188,"name":"Health sciences/Diseases/Cardiovascular diseases/Acute coronary syndromes/Myocardial infarction"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2024-07-12T22:02:34+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-4096614","link":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-66880-7","journal":{"identity":"scientific-reports","isVorOnly":false,"title":"Scientific Reports"},"publishedOn":"2024-07-09 22:02:34","publishedOnDateReadable":"July 9th, 2024"},"versionCreatedAt":"2024-04-01 16:37:22","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1038/s41598-024-66880-7","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-66880-7","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-4096614","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-4096614","identity":"rs-4096614","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"qtupq5eGEP_6zYnWcrvyt","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
