Özet
Atherosclerosis plays an important role in saphenous vein graft disease (SVGD). Previous studies showed that inflammatory blood cells play an active role in this process. C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) is considered as a novel predictor for cardiovascular risk and an indicator of inflammation. We aimed to assess the relationship between SVGD and CAR. A total of 711 participants with saphenous vein graft (SVG) were included; 348 patients had SVGD and 363 patients had patent (no stenosis) SVG. C-reactive protein to albumin ratio was higher in patients with SVGD (P <.001). There was a significant positive correlation between CAR and the age of SVG (r = 0.123; P =.001) and SYNTAX score (r = 0.568; P <.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that lymphocyte count, CAR, and SYNTAX score were independent predictors of SVGD (P <.05). C-reactive protein to albumin ratio may be a useful marker after bypass surgery to predict SVGD.
