| Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is a substantial risk factor in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We aimed to investigate relationship between the presence of established neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and coronary artery disease (CAD) in DM.Methods: 104 diabetic patients who had coronary lesion with a diameter stenosis of at least 50% and 64 diabetic patients who had normal coronary anatomy matched with age and sex were retrospectively selected and classified CAD (+) and CAD (-) group respectively. Baseline NLR in two groups was compared.Results: NLR was higher in CAD (+) group compared to group without CAD (-)(2.69±1.74 vs. 1.98±. 85, p< 0.001). C reactive protein (CRP) was higher in CAD (+) group compared to group without CAD (-)(1.71±99 vs. 1.38±. 99 p= 0.02). Multivariate analysis indicated CRP and NLR were an independent indicator of presence of CAD in diabetic patients (Odds ratio: 1.405,% CI: 1.035-1.908, p= 0.029 and odds ratio: 1.759,% CI: 1.226-2.525, p= 0.002 respectively).Conclusion: NLR was higher in diabetic patients with angiographically proven CAD compared to those without CAD. NLR may be a useful marker to predict the presence of CAD in type 2 diabetic patients. |
