The relationship between white blood cell count (WBCc) and mortality in patients with ST-segment-elevation acute myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous coronary intervention is poorly understood. Furthermore, whether there is a relationship between WBCc and risk of noncardiac mortality and bleeding after percutaneous coronary intervention is unknown.
