Abstract:

Purpose: The relationship between the patient's nitrational condition and mitral anular calcification (MAK) has not been revealed in any way before. Previous studies have shown that the prognostic nitrational index (PNI) has a prognostic importance in many diseases, such as postoperative septic complications and ST increased myocardial infarction in patients with colorectal cancer. The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between the PNI and the MAC existence. Tools and Methods: This retrospective study included 398 patients applying to the ecocardiography laboratory. The work group was created with 310 patients identified by MAK, with 88 people unidentified by MAK. In the control group; in terms of demographic characteristics such as age, gender, hypertension and the presence of diabetesmellitus, patients with similar characteristics to the MAK (+) group were included. The laboratory parameters were recorded and the PNI values were calculated. Results: There was no difference between the groups in terms of average age, hypertension and diabetes. Serum album levels were determined at lower levels that would be statistically meaningful compared to the control group in the MAK (+) group (3,76±0,57; 4,12±0,31,p<0,001). The number of lymphocytes in the MAK (+) group was low at the limit according to the control group (1,86±0,63; 2,02 ±0,66,p =0,05)The prognostic nitrational index was significantly low according to the control group in the patient group with mitral anulus calcification (38,5±5,8; 42,2±3,1 ,p <0,001). The prognostic nitrational level was determined as a statistically meaningful and strong, independent risk factor in terms of the presence of mitral anulus calcification. The result: The result of our study found the existence of the MAC and the PNI related to each other. The MAC positive and low PNI levels have been statistically significantly linked.
