Log rank test was conducted to compare the Kaplan–Meier curves across the overall follow-up period, and multivariate Cox regression was used to investigate the association between the eGDR/NLR and MACCE.Results: One hundred fifty-four patients (9.5%) experienced MACCE including 15 cardiac deaths, 97 nonfatal MI, 120 TVR, and 10 strokes. Patients were distributed into low and high eGDR/NLR groups (lower eGDR [eGDR-L] group, higher eGDR [eGDR-H] group, lower NLR [NLR-L] group, and higher NLR [NLR-H] group) based on the median value of eGDR and NLR, further divided into four groups: eGDR-L + NLR-L, eGDR-H + NLR-L, eGDR-L + NLR-H, and eGDR-H + NLR-H. eGDR-L + NLR-H group exhibited significantly higher risks of MACCE (17.4%), compared to another three groups. An independent correlation between eGDR/NLR and MACCE was demonstrated by Cox regression analysis, establishing if the eGDR and NLR was treated as a continuous or categorical variable. Compared to eGDR-H + NLR-L group, patients in eGDR-L + NLR-H group had the uppermost MACCE risk (HR: 5.201; 95% CI 2.764– 7.786; P < 0.001). A linear relationship between eGDR/ NLR and MACCE was showed by restricted cubic spline curves. Incorporating the eGDR and NLR toward the baseline risk model developed the precision of forecasting MACCE (baseline risk model-AUC: 0.611 vs baseline risk model + eGDR + NLR-AUC: 0.695, P < 0.001).Conclusion: Combining eGDR with NLR can be utilized to forecast long-term MACCE and substantially improve the accuracy of risk stratification in ACS patients with T2DM following PCI.Keywords: estimated glucose disposal rate, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, type 2 diabetes mellitus, acute coronary syndrome, percutaneous coronary intervention
