Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to investigate whether there was an association between the Naples prognostic score and the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The study comprised 2901 consecutive STEMI patients who had pPCI. For each patient, the Naples prognostic score was determined. To evaluate the predictive performance of the Naples score (which included either continuous and categorical variables), we developed a Nested model and a nested model combined with the Naples score. The Naples prognostic score was the most significant predictor of AKI occurrence after admission creatinine, age, and contrast volume. The continuous Naples prognostic score model provided the best prediction performance and discriminative ability. The C-index of the Nested and full models with continuous Naples prognostic score were significantly higher than that of the Nested model. The decision curve analysis found that the overall model had a higher full range of probability of clinical net benefit than the baseline model, with a 10% AKI likelihood. The present study found that the Naples prognostic score may be useful to predict the risk of AKI in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI.
