Description
Li and colleagues report a 2026 study of a blood ratio that pairs inflammation with a protective fat in critically ill heart patients. The ratio divides monocyte count by HDL cholesterol. Using United States intensive care databases, the team followed 3,004 adults with coronary heart disease and tracked deaths over one year.
Patients in the highest third of the ratio were sicker and needed more treatment. Their one-year survival was lower than the lowest third's, at roughly seven in ten versus eight in ten patients alive. The link rose in a straight, dose-like pattern and held after the team adjusted for age, other illnesses, and treatments. Each added unit of the ratio came with clearly higher death risk. Both parts come from routine blood tests, so the ratio could flag high-risk patients early.
