Objective: Developing contrast induced nephropathy after primary PCI in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction is a risky condition in terms of mortality and morbidity. Various studies have shown that the systemic inflammatory index predicts (SII) the development of CIN. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an important indicator known to be associated with the platelet function and activation. Therefore, we revised SII and named it modified SII (mSII) by using NLR multiply MPV. Materials and Methods: This study includes patients who underwent pPCI due to STEMI in our cardiology department between February 2015 and February 2021. Modified SII was obtained by using MPV instead of platelet in the formula (mSII= NLR x MPV). Patients who underwent pPCI with STEMI were divided into two groups, those with CIN and those without CIN, and compared. Results: In the logistic regression analysis, it was observed that the mSII, NLR, GFR and contrast medium amount was independent predictor of CIN. The optimal threshold mSII for predicting CIN was >42.5, with a 78.1% sensitivity and 52.3% specificity ([AUC]: 0.639, 95%CI: 0.602- 0.674, p< 0.001). Pairwise comparison of ROC curves, it was observed that the predictive value of mSII for the development of CIN was better than NLR. (z-test = 3.144, P = 0.001) Conclusion: We think that mSII, which we have shown to be superior to SII in predicting the development of CIN and is very easy to calculate, is a parameter that can be considered in predicting the development of CIN after pPCI in STEMI patients.
