Moderate-intensity versus high-intensity statin therapy in Korean patients with angina undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents: A propensity-score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

It is unclear whether high-intensity statin therapy provides incremental clinical benefits over moderate-intensity statin therapy in Asian patients with angina. This study sought to compare the clinical outcomes of moderate- and high-intensity statin therapies in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for angina in Korean patients.

Methods

Based on the national health insurance claims data in South Korea, patients aged 18 years or older without a known history of coronary artery disease, who underwent PCI with drug-eluting stents due to angina between 2011 and 2015, were enrolled. According to the intensity of statin therapy, patients were categorized into moderate-intensity statin therapy (n = 23,863) and high-intensity statin therapy (n = 9,073) groups. The primary endpoint, defined as a composite of all-cause death and myocardial infarction, was compared between the two groups using a propensity-score matching analysis.

Results

During the follow-up period (median, 2.0 years; interquartile range, 1.1-3.1), 1,572 patients had 1,367 deaths and 242 myocardial infarctions. After propensity-score matching, there were 8,939 matched pairs. There was no significant difference in the incidence of the primary endpoint between the two groups (adjusted hazard ratio of high-intensity statin therapy, 1.093; 95% confidence interval: 0.950-1.259; p = 0.212).

Conclusions

In Korean patients undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stents for angina, the high-intensity statin therapy did not provide additional clinical benefits over the moderate-intensity statin therapy.

Project description:BackgroundComparative studies regarding the long-term clinical outcomes of statin intensity between acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with prediabetes and those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), after successful implantation of newer-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) with statin treatment, are limited. We compared the 2-year clinical outcomes between these patients.MethodsA total of 11,612 AMI patients were classified as statin users (n = 9893) and non-users (n = 1719). Thereafter, statin users were further divided into high-intensity (n = 2984) or low-moderate-intensity statin (n = 6909) treatment groups. Those in these two groups were further classified into patients with normoglycemia, prediabetes, and T2DM. The major outcomes were the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction (Re-MI), or any repeat coronary revascularization.ResultsAfter adjusting for both high-intensity and low-moderate-intensity statin users, the cumulative incidences of MACE (p = 0.737, p = 0.062, respectively), all-cause death, Re-MI, and any repeat revascularization were similar between the prediabetes and T2DM groups. In the total study population, both high-intensity and low-moderate-intensity statin treatments showed comparable results. However, in the patients who enrolled after October 2012, the cumulative incidences of MACE (aHR 1.533; 95% CI 1.144-2.053; p = 0.004) and any repeat revascularization (aHR, 1.587; 95% CI 1.026-2.456; p = 0.038) were significantly lower in high-intensity statin users than in low-moderate intensity statin users. The beneficial effects of high-intensity compared to low-moderate-intensity statin therapy were more apparent in the normoglycemia group than hyperglycemia group, as it reduced the cumulative incidences of MACE (aHR 1.903; 95% CI 1.203-3.010; p = 0.006) and any repeat revascularization (aHR 3.248; 95% CI 1.539-6.854; p = 0.002).ConclusionsIn this retrospective registry study, prediabetes and T2DM groups showed comparable clinical outcomes, after administering both high-intensity and low-moderate-intensity statin treatments. However, these results are likely to be clearly proved by further studies, especially in patients with AMI who are being treated in contemporary practice.Trial registrationRetrospectively registered.

Project description:BackgroundThe relative short-, long- and overall-term efficacy and safety of sirolimus-eluting stents (SES, Cypher) compared with paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES, Taxus) in large head-to-head comparisons still remain to be defined.MethodsWe searched Pubmed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) for articles comparing outcomes of interest between SES and PES without language restriction. Short- (? 1 year), long- (>1 year), and overall-term (the longest follow-up of each study) outcomes were evaluated. The primary endpoint was target lesion revascularization (TLR). Other outcomes of interest were target vessel revascularization (TVR), myocardial infarction, all-cause death, cardiac death, stent thrombosis, major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), restenosis and late lumen loss.ResultsSeventy-six studies including more than 15000 patients in randomized controlled trials and over 70000 patients in adjusted observational studies were included. At overall-term follow-up, SES significantly reduced TLR (relative risk [RR]: 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.49-0.76), TVR (RR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.54-0.83), MACE (RR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.72-0.87), myocardial infarction (RR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.73-0.99), in-segment restenosis (RR: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.38-0.65), and in-segment late lumen loss (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -0.19; 95% CI: -0.24--0.14) in randomized controlled trials compared with PES. In addition, lower rates of death (RR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.83-1.00), any stent thrombosis (RR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.45-0.86), definite stent thrombosis (RR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.45-0.77) were found in patients receiving SES in adjusted observational studies. Largely similar results were found at short- and long-term follow-up, and in patients with diabetes, acute myocardial infarction or long lesions.ConclusionsSES significantly reduced the short-, long- and overall-term risk of TLR/TVR, MACE, and restenosis, and overall-term risk of myocardial infarction in randomized controlled trials, as compared with PES. Lower rates of death and stent thrombosis were also observed in observational studies in SES-treated patients.
