Description
Chongzhe Pei's team linked a neutrophil-to-albumin ratio to death risk in takotsubo syndrome, in a 2026 MIMIC-IV study. Takotsubo, or stress cardiomyopathy, mimics heart attack without blocked arteries, and risk stratification remains crude. The team studied 201 patients with multivariable Cox models and spline analyses.
Higher neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio independently predicted death at 28 days, 180 days, and 365 days, with hazard ratios above 5 at each horizon. The ratio showed modest standalone predictive power for 28-day death. As a routine lab ratio, it could help clinicians flag takotsubo patients needing closer monitoring.
