Background: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an independent predictor of the severity of coronary heart disease and COVID-19. This study aims to assess the predictive ability of the NLR in patients with in-stent restenosis after COVID-19. Materials and Methods: a cross-sectional study included 931 patients who underwent repeated myocardial revascularization between May 2020 and May 2023. The 420 patients of the main group had in-stent restenosis, of which 162 patients had COVID-19 previously. The control group included 511 patients without stent restenosis (107 patients had COVID-19 previously). All reported events were verified by hospital electronic records from the Complex Medical Information System. Results: The mean values of the NLR were 2.51 and 2.68 in the study groups, respectively. A statistically significant positive relationship in both groups was found between the NLR and troponin, D-dimer, C-reactive protein, creatinine, ALT, and AST. A statistically significant positive relationship was found between NLR and myocardial infarction (MI) in patients of both groups (p = 0.004; p < 0.001, respectively) and a negative relationship with the ejection fraction (p = 0.001; p < 0.036, respectively). An evaluation of the predictive ability of the clinical and laboratory predictors of recurrent myocardial infarction shows a high degree of utility of this model. The area under the ROC curve for AUC for NLR was 0.664 with 95% CI from 0.627 to 0.700 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: NLR is one of the significant factors for predicting the development of adverse outcomes in patients with revascularized myocardium after COVID-19.
