    BackgroundThe monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) has been used to predict adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic utility of MHR in patients with ACS.Materials And MethodsWe comprehensively searched for relevant studies in Pubmed, Embase, CNKI, WanFang and VIP databases until March 12, 2019. Epidemiologic studies investigating the association between MHR and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or all-cause mortality in patients with ACS were included. Pooled effect was expressed as risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the highest versus the reference lower MHR group.ResultsEight studies involving 6,480 patients with ACS were included and analyzed. Meta-analysis indicated that the highest MHR was significantly associated with higher risk of MACE (RR 1.65; 95%CI 1.36-2.02) and all-cause mortality (RR 2.61; 95%CI 1.29-4.89) after adjusting for the conventional confounders. The prognostic values of MACE with the highest MHR caused no significant changes in the in-hospital follow-up (RR 1.76; 95%CI 1.34-2.32) and >6 months follow-up (RR 1.68; 95%CI 1.08-2.62) subgroups. Furthermore, ST elevation myocardial infarction patients with the highest MHR had a 2.07-fold higher risk of in-hospital MACE (RR 2.07; 95%CI 1.52-2.80).ConclusionsElevated MHR is independently associated with an increased risk of MACE and all-cause mortality in patients with ACS. MHR may serve as a potential prognostic indicator for ACS prognosis.Copyright © 2020 Southern Society for Clinical Investigation. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
