Article Synopsis
  • This study explores how inflammation affects outcomes in patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), specifically looking at in-hospital mortality and the modified Naples prognostic score (mNPS).
  • The research included 2,576 STEMI patients and analyzed various inflammatory markers, finding that higher levels of these markers, particularly mNPS, were linked to increased in-hospital mortality.
  • Results indicate that mNPS not only predicts in-hospital mortality more effectively than other inflammatory indices but also provides a net clinical benefit in assessing patient risk during hospitalization.
