The intensity of the inflammatory response and hemodynamic repercussion in acute myocardial infarction causing the presence in the peripheral circulation of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs), increases in mean platelet volume (MPV) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are associated with a poorer prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess the role of these hematological biomarkers as predictors of all causes of mortality during the hospitalization of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Nucleated red blood cells, mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio were measured daily during the hospitalization of the patients with acute myocardial infarction. We excluded patients younger than 18 years, on glucocorticoid therapy, with cancer or hematological diseases and those that were readmitted after hospital discharge. We performed a multiple logistic analysis to identify independent predictors of mortality. We included 466 patients (mean age 64.2 ± 12.8 years, 61.6% male). The prevalence of NRBCs in the sample was 9.1% (42 patients), with levels > 200/μL in 27 patients (5.8%). The mean MPV value was 10.9 ±0,9 and the mean NLR value was 3.71 (2,38; 5,72). In a multivariate analysis of serum NRBCs (HR 2.42, 95% CI: 1.35-4.36, p = 0.003), MPV (HR 2.97, 95% CI: 1.15-7.67, p = 0.024) and NLR (HR 5.02, 95% CI: 1.68-15.0, p = 0.004). The presence in the peripheral blood of NRBCs, increased in mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio were associated with higher mortality. Nucleated red blood cells, mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio are independent predictors of intrahospital mortality. Therefore, an important tool in intrahospital clinical surveillance.
