Background The neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is considered an independent predictor of mortality and myocardial infarction (MI) in stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). Also NLR have prognostic value in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). However the diagnostic power of NLR in patients suspected of ACS is still under study Objective is to determine the ability of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio to predict troponin elevation in patients presenting to emergency department with acute coronary syndrome Material and Methods From June 2018 to March 2019, 100 patients were enrolled who presented to the ER with NST-ACS. Patients were divided into 2 groups based upon the troponin positivity in the 12- to 24-hour follow-up. Baseline Complete blood count with calculation of NLR is done Results The study population was divided into 2 groups: troponin- negative group (n = 50) and troponin-positive group (n = 50). Mean age was 55.8 ± 11.3. 77% of the patients were male. No significance difference in the level of hemoglobin, WBCs and platelets between the 2 groups. The neutrophil count was significantly higher in the troponin-positive group (p &amp;lt; 0.001). The median admission. NLR was significantly higher in the troponin-positive group (2 vs. 3.9, P &amp;lt; 0.001). A cutoff point of 3.4 for NLR measured on admission had 84% sensitivity and 84% specificity in predicting follow-up troponin positivity. A highly significant correlation was found between NLR and level of troponin change (p value &amp;lt;0.01) Conclusion NLR can be used as a diagnostic tool in the differentiation of patients with acute coronary syndrome. NLR is a non-expensive, simple and available parameter that can be used in diagnosis of NSTEMI.
