Prevalence and prognostic significance of malnutrition in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malnutrition is associated with poor prognosis in cardiovascular disease patients or in diabetic patients. However, the relationship between malnutrition and clinical outcomes in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is not well known. The aim of this study is to report the prevalence and prognostic consequences of malnutrition in diabetic patients with CAD.

Methods

In this retrospective observational study, the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score applied to 12,898 consecutive diabetic patients with CAD. The association between malnutrition and long-term all-cause mortality was examined using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.

Results

According to CONUT score, 60.5% patients suffered from malnutrition; 46.4%, 13.2%, and 0.9% patients had mild, moderate, and severe malnutrition, respectively. During a median follow-up of 4.88 (2.83-7.51) years, 1973 (15.3%) patients died. After adjustment for confounders, malnutrition was associated with significantly increased risk for long-term all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio for mild malnutrition and moderate to severe malnutrition, respectively: 1.38 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-1.77]; P value = 0.012 and 1.63 [95% CI 1.18-2.24]; P value = 0.003). A similar association was observed around subgroups.

Conclusions

Malnutrition is common in diabetic patients with CAD and is strongly associated with increased mortality. It is necessary to adequately assess the nutritional status and take the effective nutritional guidance to improve the prognosis of diabetic patients with CAD.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD) constitute inter-related clinical entities. Biomarker profiling emerges as a promising tool for the early diagnosis and risk stratification of either DM or CAD. However, studies assessing the predictive capacity of novel metabolomics biomarkers in coexistent CAD and DM are scarce.MethodsThis post-hoc analysis of the CorLipid trial (NCT04580173) included 316 patients with CAD and comorbid DM who underwent emergency or elective coronary angiography due to acute or chronic coronary syndrome. Cox regression analyses were performed to identify metabolomic predictors of the primary outcome, which was defined as the composite of major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events (MACCE: cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, major bleeding), repeat unplanned revascularizations and cardiovascular hospitalizations. Linear regression analyses were also performed to detect significant predictors of CAD complexity, as assessed by the SYNTAX score.ResultsAfter a median 2-year follow up period (IQR = 0.7 years), the primary outcome occurred in 69 (21.8%) of patients. Acylcarnitine ratio C4/C18:2, apolipoprotein (apo) B, history of heart failure (HF), age > 65 years and presence of acute coronary syndrome were independent predictors of the primary outcome in diabetic patients with CAD (aHR = 1.89 [1.09, 3.29]; 1.02 [1.01, 1.04]; 1.28 [1.01, 1.41]; 1.04 [1.01, 1.05]; and 1.12 [1.05-1.21], respectively). Higher levels of ceramide ratio C24:1/C24:0, acylcarnitine ratio C4/C18:2, age > 65 and peripheral artery disease were independent predictors of higher CAD complexity (adjusted β = 7.36 [5.74, 20.47]; 3.02 [0.09 to 6.06]; 3.02 [0.09, 6.06], respectively), while higher levels of apoA1 were independent predictors of lower complexity (adjusted β= - 0.65 [- 1.31, - 0.02]).ConclusionsIn patients with comorbid DM and CAD, novel metabolomic biomarkers and metabolomics-based prediction models could be recruited to predict clinical outcomes and assess the complexity of CAD, thereby enabling the integration of personalized medicine into routine clinical practice. These associations should be interpreted taking into account the observational nature of this study, and thus, larger trials are needed to confirm its results and validate them in different and larger diabetic populations.

Project description:BackgroundMalnutrition is a rising global health issue associated with unfavorable outcomes of a variety of disorders. Currently, the prevalence and prognostic significance of malnutrition to patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) remained largely unclear.MethodsA total of 705 patients diagnosed with ACS and CKD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between 2013 and 2021 were included in this retrospective cohort study. Malnutrition was assessed by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT), the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), respectively. The relationships between malnutrition and all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular events (MACEs) were analyzed.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 31 months, 153 (21.7%) patients died, and 165 (23.4%) had MACEs. The prevalence of malnutrition was 29.8, 80.6, and 89.8% for the PNI, CONUT, and GNRI, respectively. All the malnutrition indexes were correlated with each other (r = 0.77 between GNRI and PNI, r = -0.72 between GNRI and CONUT, and r = -0.88 between PNI and CONUT, all p < 0.001). Compared with normal nutrition, malnutrition was independently associated with an increased risk for all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio for moderate and severe degrees of malnutrition, respectively: 7.23 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.69 to 19.49] and 17.56 [95% CI: 5.61 to 55.09] for the CONUT score, 2.18 [95% CI: 0.93 to 5.13] and 3.16 [95% CI: 1.28 to 7.79] for the GNRI, and 2.52 [95% CI: 1.62 to 3.94] and 3.46 [95% CI: 2.28 to 5.25] for the PNI score. p values were lower than 0.05 for all nutritional indexes, except for moderate GNRI p value = 0.075). As for MACEs, similar results were observed in the CONUT and PNI. All the risk scores could improve the predictive ability of the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score for both all-cause mortality and MACEs.ConclusionMalnutrition was common in patients with ACS and CKD regardless of the screening tools used, and was independently associated with all-cause mortality and MACEs. Malnutrition scores could facilitate risk stratification and prognosis assessment.
