Objective To discuss the risk factors of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) occurred within 2y after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and to definite their predictive significance. Methods The clinical materials were retrospectively analyzed from AMI patients (n=140) treated in Department of Cardiology in People’s Hospital of Shaanxi Province from Jan. 2013 to Jan. 2015. All patients were followed up through out-patient department and telephone, and then divided into observation group (with MACE within 2y after PCI, n=45) and control group (without MACE, n=95). A single-factor analysis was conducted in 2 groups for screening risk factors with statistical significance and included into Logistic regression model. The independent risk factors of MACE occurred after PCI and their predictive value to MACE were discussed in AMI patients. Results The results of single-factor analysis showed that the levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), lipoprotein-a and prothrombin time (PT) increased significantly, percentages of patients with diabetes, hyperlipidemia, carotid artery plaque and smoking history increased significantly, and age at admission was older in MACE group compared with control group (all P<0.05). The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age at admission (OR=1.069, 95%CI: 1.012~1.13, P<0.01), diabetes (OR=4.224, 95%CI: 1.323~13.484, P<0.01), smoking history (OR=4.091, 95%CI: 1.371~12.209, P<0.01), carotid artery plaque (OR=3.191, 95%CI: 1.158~8.793, P<0.01), LDL-C (OR=2.852, 95%CI: 1.215~6.694, P<0.01) and PT value (OR=1.833, 95%CI: 1.118~3.006, P<0.01) were independent risk factors of MACE after PCI in AMI patients. The results of ROC curve analysis showed that AUC of age at admission was 0.643 (P=0.006) and cutoff value was 69.5, AUC of LDL-C was 0.741(P=0.000) and cutoff value was 3.02 mmol/L, and AUC of PT value was 0.636 (P=0.011) and cutoff value was 11.35 seconds. Conclusion Age at admission, diabetes, carotid artery plaque, smoking history,LDL-C level and PT value are independent risk factors of MACE after PCI in AMI patients. The increased age and LDL-C level and prolonged PT have some predictive value to MACE incidence.
