Korelasi Tingkat Keparahan Gagal Jantung dengan Nilai Platelet-To-Lymphocyte Ratio pada Pasien Gagal Jantung Rawat Inap di RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan Januari 2022 – Juli 2023

Abstract

Introduction. The Inflammatory process has an important role in heart failure. The inflammatory process will activate platelets and reduce the quantity of lymphocytes so that the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) can predict heart failure outcome. One of the assessments that can be used to assess the severity of heart failure is the GWTG–HF scoring system. Objective. To know the correlation of heart failure severity with Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) values. Method. The study is analytical with a cross-sectional method. Data was taken from medical records of heart failure patients hospitalized at RSUP. Haji Adam Malik Medan January 2022 – July 2023. Results. The average age of heart failure patients was 55.90 ± 13.87 years. Men (70.9%) were more predominant than women (29.1%). The most common risk factor is hypertension (68.6%). The average of GWTG – HF score was 37.76 ± 6.72. The average PLR value for heart failure patients was 170.70 ± 112.80. Spearman correlation test for the severity of heart failure based on GWTG – HF score with PLR values showing p-value, < 0.05, and Correlation Coefficient (r) values of 0.249. Conclusion. There is a weak positive correlation between the severity of heart failure and the PLR value.
