    The study evaluated the prognostic significance of the Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index (ALI) in diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

  • 2

    A total of 571 diabetic AMI patients were analyzed, with outcomes assessed over a median follow-up of 2.5 years using various statistical models.

  • 3

    Patients in the highest ALI tertile (T3) had significantly lower rates of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to those in the lowest tertile (T1).

  • 4

    Higher ALI was independently associated with a 67% reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality in fully adjusted Cox models.

  • 5

    The study found a significant non-linear relationship between continuous ALI and mortality outcomes, indicating increased risk below a specific threshold.
