Measures of chronic kidney disease and risk of incident peripheral artery disease: a collaborative meta-analysis of individual participant data.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Some evidence suggests that chronic kidney disease is a risk factor for lower-extremity peripheral artery disease. We aimed to quantify the independent and joint associations of two measures of chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] and albuminuria) with the incidence of peripheral artery disease. METHODS:In this collaborative meta-analysis of international cohorts included in the Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis Consortium (baseline measurements obtained between 1972 and 2014) with baseline measurements of eGFR and albuminuria, at least 1000 participants (this criterion not applied to cohorts exclusively enrolling patients with chronic kidney disease), and at least 50 peripheral artery disease events, we analysed adult participants without peripheral artery disease at baseline at the individual patient level with Cox proportional hazards models to quantify associations of creatinine-based eGFR, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), and dipstick proteinuria with the incidence of peripheral artery disease (including hospitalisation with a diagnosis of peripheral artery disease, intermittent claudication, leg revascularisation, and leg amputation). We assessed discrimination improvement through c-statistics. FINDINGS:We analysed 817?084 individuals without a history of peripheral artery disease at baseline from 21 cohorts. 18?261 cases of peripheral artery disease were recorded during follow-up across cohorts (median follow-up was 7·4 years [IQR 5·7-8·9], range 2·0-15·8 years across cohorts). Both chronic kidney disease measures were independently associated with the incidence of peripheral artery disease. Compared with an eGFR of 95 mL/min per 1·73 m2, adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for incident study-specific peripheral artery disease was 1·22 (95% CI 1·14-1·30) at an eGFR of 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 and 2·06 (1·70-2·48) at an eGFR of 15 mL/min per 1·73 m2. Compared with an ACR of 5 mg/g, the adjusted HR for incident study-specific peripheral artery disease was 1·50 (1·41-1·59) at an ACR of 30 mg/g and 2·28 (2·12-2·44) at an ACR of 300 mg/g. The adjusted HR at an ACR of 300 mg/g versus 5 mg/g was 3·68 (95% CI 3·00-4·52) for leg amputation. eGFR and albuminuria contributed multiplicatively (eg, adjusted HR 5·76 [4·90-6·77] for incident peripheral artery disease and 10·61 [5·70-19·77] for amputation in eGFR <30 mL/min per 1·73 m2 plus ACR ?300 mg/g or dipstick proteinuria 2+ or higher vs eGFR ?90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 plus ACR <10 mg/g or dipstick proteinuria negative). Both eGFR and ACR significantly improved peripheral artery disease risk discrimination beyond traditional predictors, with a substantial improvement prediction of amputation with ACR (difference in c-statistic 0·058, 95% CI 0·045-0·070). Patterns were consistent across clinical subgroups. INTERPRETATION:Even mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease conferred increased risk of incident peripheral artery disease, with a strong association between albuminuria and amputation. Clinical attention should be paid to the development of peripheral artery disease symptoms and signs in people with any stage of chronic kidney disease.

Project description:Background: Somatic mutations in blood indicative of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), particularly in DNMT3A, TET2, and JAK2, are associated with an increased risk of hematologic malignancy, coronary artery disease, and all-cause mortality. However, whether CHIP is associated with increased risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains unknown. In addition, chemotherapy frequently causes mutations in DNA Damage Repair (DDR) genes TP53 and PPM1D, and whether CHIP caused by somatic mutations in DDR genes results in increased risk of atherosclerosis is unclear. We sought to test whether CHIP, and CHIP caused by DDR genes, associates with incident peripheral artery disease (PAD) and atherosclerosis. Methods: We identified CHIP among 50,122 exome sequences in individuals from UK and Mass General Brigham Biobanks and tested CHIP status (N=2,851) with incident PAD and atherosclerosis across multiple arterial beds. To mimic the human scenario of clonal hematopoiesis and test whether the expansion of p53-deficient hematopoietic cells contributes to atherosclerosis, a competitive bone marrow transplantation (BMT) strategy was used to generate atherosclerosis-prone Ldlr-/- chimeric mice carrying 20% Trp53-/- hematopoietic cells (20% KO-BMT mice). We then evaluated aortic plaque burden and plaque macrophage accumulation 12 weeks after grafting. Results: CHIP associated with incident PAD (HR 1.7; P=2.2x10-5) and atherosclerosis in multiple beds (HR 1.3; P=9.7x10-5), with increased risk among individuals with DDR CHIP (HR 2.0; P=0.0084). Among atherosclerosis-prone Ldlr null mice, the p53 -/- 20% KO-BMT mice demonstrated increased aortic plaque size (p=0.013) and accumulation of p53-/- plaque macrophages (P<0.001), driven by an abundance of p53-deficient plaque macrophages. The expansion of p53-deficient cells did not affect the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β in the atherosclerotic aortic wall. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the role of CHIP as a broad driver of atherosclerosis across the entire arterial system, with evidence of increased plaque among p53 -/- 20% KO-BMT mice via expansion of plaque macrophages. These observations provide new insight into the link between CHIP and cardiovascular disease, and lend human genetic support to the concept that post-cytotoxic chemotherapy patients may benefit from surveillance for atherosclerotic conditions in addition to therapy-related myeloid neoplasms.

Project description:ImportanceFew people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) participate in supervised treadmill exercise covered by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. In people with PAD, the benefits of home-based walking exercise, relative to supervised exercise, remain unclear.ObjectiveTo study whether home-based walking exercise improves 6-minute walk (6MW) more than supervised treadmill exercise in people with PAD (defined as Ankle Brachial Index ≤0.90).Data sourcesData were combined from 5 randomized clinical trials of exercise therapy for PAD using individual participant data meta-analyses, published from 2009 to 2022.Study selectionOf the 5 clinical trials, 3 clinical trials compared supervised treadmill exercise to nonexercise control (N = 370) and 2 clinical trials compared an effective home-based walking exercise intervention to nonexercise control (N = 349).Data extraction and synthesisIndividual participant-level data from 5 randomized clinical trials led by 1 investigative team were combined. The 5 randomized clinical trials included 3 clinical trials of supervised treadmill exercise and 2 effective home-based walking exercise interventions.Main outcomes and measuresChange in 6MW distance, maximum treadmill walking distance, and Walking Impairment Questionnaire at 6-month follow-up. The supervised treadmill exercise intervention consisted of treadmill exercise in the presence of an exercise physiologist, conducted 3 days weekly for up to 50 minutes per session. Home-based walking exercise consisted of a behavioral intervention in which a coach helped participants walk for exercise in or around home for up to 5 days per week for 50 minutes per session.ResultsA total of 719 participants with PAD (mean [SD] age, 68.8 [9.5] years; 46.5% female) were included (349 in a home-based exercise clinical trial and 370 in a supervised exercise trial). Compared with nonexercise control, supervised treadmill exercise was associated with significantly improved 6MW by 32.9 m (95% CI, 20.6-45.6; P < .001) and home-based walking exercise was associated with significantly improved 6MW by 50.7 m (95% CI, 34.8-66.7; P < .001). Compared with supervised treadmill exercise, home-based walking exercise was associated with significantly greater improvement in 6MW distance (between-group difference: 23.8 m [95% CI, 3.6, 44.0; P = .02]) but significantly less improvement in maximum treadmill walking distance (between-group difference:-132.5 m [95% CI, -192.9 to -72.1; P < .001]).Conclusions and relevanceIn this individual participant data meta-analyses, compared with supervised exercise, home-based walking exercise was associated with greater improvement in 6MW in people with PAD. These findings support home-based walking exercise as a first-line therapy for walking limitations in PAD.

Project description:BackgroundThe association between socioeconomic factors and development of peripheral artery disease (PAD) has not been as well characterized compared to other cardiovascular diseases. We sought to define how annual income, sex, race, and education level are associated with newly diagnosed PAD in a well-characterized, diverse set of adults with CKD.MethodsThe Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study (CRIC) is a multicenter, prospective cohort study designed to examine risk factors for progression of CKD and cardiovascular disease. Demographic and clinical data including ankle brachial index (ABI) and interventions were collected at baseline, as well as yearly during follow-up visits. Annual income was categorized as: <$25,000, $25,000-50,000, $50,000-100,000, or above $100,000. We excluded those with pre-existing PAD, defined as enrollment ABI of <0.9 or >1.4, or missing income data. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate the risk for incident PAD during CRIC enrollment, defined as a drop in ABI to <0.90 or a confirmed PAD intervention, including revascularization or amputation.ResultsA total of 3,313 patients met inclusion criteria, the mean age was 58.7 years, 56% were male, and 42% were Black. Over a median follow-up of 10.1 years, 639 participants (19%) were newly diagnosed with PAD. After adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors, all lower levels of annual household income were associated with increased incidence of PAD (income <$25,000 HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.4, P = 0.008; income $25,000-50,000 HR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1-2.3, P = 0.009; income $50,000-100,000 HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.4, P = 0.004), relative to a baseline annual income of >$100,000 (overall P-value = 0.02). In the multivariable model, there was no association between education level and PAD incidence (P = 0.80). Black race (HR 1.2, 95% CI 1.0-1.5, P = 0.023) and female sex (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.4-2.0, P < 0.001) were independently associated with PAD incidence. Multiple imputation analysis provided similar results.ConclusionsIn the CRIC, a multi-center cohort of prospectively followed CKD patients undergoing yearly CVD surveillance, lower annual household income, female sex, and Black race were significantly associated with the PAD incidence. In contrast, level of education was not independently associated with incident PAD.
