dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension(IPAH) is a rare disease that causes severe morbidity and mortality despite advances in treatment management. Evaluating the prognosis of the disease is critical in determining therapeutic approaches. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) and uric acid, which is an easily applicable and inexpensive parameter in patients with IPAH. Methods: Seventy-two IPAH patients and 99 consecutive non-IPAH patients as a control group were enrolled in the study retrospectively. Right heart catheterization(RHC), echocardiography, and laboratory parameters of the two groups and those who died and survived among the IPAH patients were compared. Results: IPAH and control group were compared at the first stage and CAR (1.98(0.28-10.74), 0.75(0.22-4.7), respectively;p < 0.01) and uric acid (0.33(0.19-0.87), 0.3(0.11-0.48) mmol/L, respectively; p = 0.03) values were significantly higher in the pulmonary hypertension group compared to the control group. Compared with the surviving IPAH patients, CAR (4.60(1.39-10.74),1.54(0.28-6.74),respectively;p < 0.001) and uric acid levels (0.458(0.26-0.87), 0.315(0.19-0.56) mmol/L, respectively; p < 0.001) were significantly higher in the group of patients who died. In the multivariate Cox regression models uric acid(p < 0.001) and CAR(p < 0.001) were found to be associated with survival time. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) analyses showed that > 1.54 CAR value (AUC = 0.81,Sens:85.7%,Spec:56.9%,p < 0.001) and > 5.85 mg/dL (>0.348 mmol/L) uric acid value (AUC = 0.864, Sens:85.7%, Spec:78.4%, p < 0.001) are strong predictors for mortality. Conclusion: In this study, we showed that simple markers such as CAR, which augment the inflammation marker feature of CRP, and uric acid can give prognostic information in PAH patients.
