Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the prognostic value of baseline red cell distribution width (RDW) in patients with coronary artery diseases (CADs) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by conducting a meta-analysis.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcePubMed, Embase, Wanfang, CNKI and VIP databases were searched from their inceptions to 19 June 2019.Eligible criteriaStudies investigating the value of baseline RDW for predicting all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with CAD undergoing PCI were included.Data extraction and synthesisTwo authors independently extracted the data and evaluated the methodological quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. STATA V.12.0 software was applied to produce the forest plots using a random-effect model.ResultsTwelve studies (13 articles) involving 17 113 patients were included and analysed. Comparison between the highest and lowest RDW category indicated that the pooled risk ratio (RR) was 1.77 (95% CI 1.32 to 2.37) for all-cause mortality, 1.70 (95% CI 1.25 to 2.32) for cardiovascular mortality and 1.62 (95% CI 1.21 to 2.18) for MACEs. The predictive effect of elevated RDW for all-cause mortality was stronger in the subgroup of patients without anaemia (RR 4.59; 95% CI 3.07 to 6.86) than with anaemia.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis indicated that elevated RDW was associated with higher risk of mortality and adverse cardiac events in patients with CAD undergoing PCI. The value of elevated RDW for predicting all-cause mortality appears to be stronger in patients without anaemia. RDW may be served as a promising prognostic biomarker in patients undergoing PCI.

Project description:BackgroundIt has been demonstrated in previous studies that red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is correlated with the severity and prognosis of cardiovascular disease. The target of our study was to assess the relationship between RDW and the prognosis of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).MethodsThe study retrospectively enrolled 1986 ICM patients undergoing PCI. The patients were divided into three groups by RDW tertiles. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the secondary endpoints were each of the components of MACE (all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) and any revascularization). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were conducted to show the association between RDW and the incidence of adverse outcomes. The independent effect of RDW on adverse outcomes was determined by multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. In addition, the nonlinear relationship between RDW values and MACE was explored using restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. The relationship between RDW and MACE in different subgroups was determined using subgroup analysis.ResultsAs RDW tertiles increased, the incidences of MACE (Tertile 3 vs. Tertile 1: 42.6 vs. 23.7, p < 0.001), all-cause death (Tertile 3 vs. Tertile 1: 19.3 vs. 11.4, p < 0.001) and any revascularization (Tertile 3 vs. Tertile 1: 20.1 vs. 14.1, p < 0.001) increased significantly. The K-M curves showed that higher RDW tertiles were related to increased incidences of MACE (log-rank, p < 0.001), all-cause death (log-rank, p < 0.001) and any revascularization (log-rank, p < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding variables, RDW was proved to be independently associated with increased risks of MACE (Tertile 3 vs. Tertile 1: HR, 95% CI: 1.75, 1.43-2.15; p for trend < 0.001), all-cause mortality (Tertile 3 vs. Tertile 1: HR, 95% CI: 1.58, 1.17-2.13; p for trend < 0.001) and any revascularization (Tertile 3 vs. Tertile 1: HR, 95% CI: 2.10, 1.54-2.88; p for trend < 0.001). In addition, the RCS analysis suggested nonlinear association between RDW values and MACE. The subgroup analysis revealed that elderly patients or patients with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) had a higher risk of MACE with higher RDW. Patients with hypercholesterolemia or without anemia also had a higher risk of MACE.ConclusionsRDW was significantly related to the increased risk of MACE among ICM patients undergoing PCI.

Project description:Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an index of red blood cell volume variability that has historically been used as a marker of iron deficiency anemia. More recently, studies have shown that elevated RDW is associated with higher mortality risk in the general population. However, there is lack of data demonstrating the association between RDW and mortality risk in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We hypothesized that higher RDW is associated with higher mortality in HD patients.Retrospective observational study using a large HD patient cohort.109,675 adult maintenance HD patients treated in a large dialysis organization from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2011.Baseline and time-varying RDW, grouped into 5 categories: <14.5%, 14.5% to <15.5%, 15.5% to <16.5%, 16.5% to <17.5%, and ?17.5%. RDW of 15.5% to <16.5% was used as the reference category.All-cause mortality.Mean age of study participants was 63±15 (SD) years and the study cohort was 44% women. In baseline and time-varying analyses, there was a graded association between higher RDW and incrementally higher mortality risk. Receiver operating characteristic, net reclassification analysis, and integrated discrimination improvement analyses demonstrated that RDW is a stronger predictor of mortality as compared with traditional markers of anemia, such as hemoglobin, ferritin, and iron saturation values.Lack of comprehensive data that may be associated with both RDW and HD patient outcomes, such as blood transfusion data, socioeconomic status, and other unknown confounders; therefore, the possibility of residual confounding could not be excluded. Also, lack of information for cause of death; thus, cardiovascular mortality outcomes could not be examined.In HD patients, higher RDW is associated with incrementally higher mortality risk. RDW is also a stronger predictor of mortality than traditional laboratory markers of anemia. Further studies are needed to determine the mechanisms underlying the association between RDW and mortality.

Project description:ObjectiveResidual SYNTAX score (rSS) values have been suggested to serve as an independent predictor of mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Prior work has also indicated that red cell distribution width (RDW) can predict the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in STEMI patients. As such, we sought to explore the relationship between RDW and rSS in STEMI patients that have undergone PCI.MethodsIn total, 456 eligible patients were recruited for this study. Youden's index was used to calculate the optimal RDW cut-off value, after which the relationship between RDW and rSS values was assessed through Spearman's correlation analyses. Independent predictors of high rSS levels were then identified via multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsPatients were separated into two groups based upon whether they exhibited high RDW levels (>13.9, Group 1) or low RDW levels (<13.9, Group 2). The average rSS value of patients in Group 2 was found to be significantly decreased compared to patients in Group 1 (P < 0.001). RDW values were found to be positively correlated with rSS (r = 0.604, P < 0.001), and multivariate logistic regression analysis determined that high RDW levels were independently predictive of higher rSS (OR = 27.1 [14.8-51.7]; P < 0.001). Additionally, a nomogram incorporating RDW exhibited good calibration, discriminative capacity, and clinical utility.ConclusionsIn summary, RDW is strongly correlated with rSS in STEMI patients following PCI, with high RDW levels serving as an independent predictor of high rSS in this patient population.

Project description:ImportanceStudies have shown variation in the use of red blood cell transfusion among patients with acute coronary syndromes. There are no definitive data for the efficacy of transfusion in improving outcomes, and concerning data exist about possible association with harm. Current transfusion practices in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not well understood.ObjectiveTo determine the current patterns of blood transfusion among patients undergoing PCI and the association of transfusion with adverse cardiac outcomes across hospitals in the United States.Design, setting, and participantsRetrospective cohort study of all patient visits from the CathPCI Registry from July 2009 to March 2013 that included PCI, excluding those with missing data on bleeding complications or who underwent in-hospital coronary artery bypass graft surgery (N = 2,258,711 visits).Main outcomes and measuresTransfusion rates in the overall population and by hospital (N = 1431) were the primary outcomes. The association of transfusion with myocardial infarction, stroke, and death after accounting for a patient's propensity for transfusion was also measured.ResultsThe overall rate of transfusion was 2.14% (95% CI, 2.13%-2.16%) and quarterly transfusion rates slightly declined from July 2009 to March 2013 (from 2.11% [95% CI, 2.03%-2.19%] to 2.04% [95% CI, 1.97%-2.12%]; P < .001). Patients who were more likely to receive transfusion were older (mean, 70.5 vs 64.6 years), were women (56.3% vs 32.5%), and had hypertension (86.4% vs 82.0%), diabetes (44.8% vs 34.6%), advanced renal dysfunction (8.7% vs 2.3%), prior myocardial infarction (33.0% vs 30.2%), or prior heart failure (27.0% vs 11.8%). Overall, 96.3% of sites gave a transfusion to less than 5% of patients and 3.7% of sites gave a transfusion to 5% of patients or more. Variation in hospital risk-standardized rates of transfusion persisted after adjustment, and hospitals showed variability in their transfusion thresholds. Receipt of transfusion was associated with myocardial infarction (42,803 events; 4.5% vs 1.8%; odds ratio [OR], 2.60; 95% CI, 2.57-2.63), stroke (5011 events; 2.0% vs 0.2%; OR, 7.72; 95% CI, 7.47-7.98), and in-hospital death (31,885 events; 12.5% vs 1.2%; OR, 4.63; 95% CI, 4.57-4.69), irrespective of bleeding complications.Conclusions and relevanceAmong patients undergoing PCI at US hospitals, there was considerable variation in blood transfusion practices, and receipt of transfusion was associated with increased risk of in-hospital adverse cardiac events. These observational findings may warrant a randomized trial of transfusion strategies for patients undergoing PCI.

Project description:Mortality risk of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients shows high variability. In order to assess individual risk, a number of scoring systems have been developed and validated. Yet, as treatment approaches evolve over time with improving outcomes, there is a need to build new risk prediction algorithms to maintain/increase prognostic accuracy. One of the most relevant improvements of therapy is primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We overview the characteristics and discriminative performance of the most studied and some recently constructed mortality risk models that were validated in patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI.

Project description:AIM:To determine the impact of red blood cell distribution width on outcome in anemic patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). METHODS:In a retrospective single center cohort study we determined the impact of baseline red cell distribution width (RDW) and anemia on outcome in 376 patients with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI. All patients were discussed in the institutional heart team and declined for surgical aortic valve replacement due to high operative risk. Collected data included patient characteristics, imaging findings, periprocedural in hospital data, laboratory results and follow up data. Blood samples for hematology and biochemistry analysis were taken from every patient before and at fixed intervals up to 72 h after TAVI including blood count and creatinine. Descriptive statistics were used for patient's characteristics. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used for time to event outcomes. A recursive partitioning regression and classification was used to investigate the association between potential risk factors and outcome variables. RESULTS:Mean age in our study population was 81 ± 6.1 years. Anemia was prevalent in 63.6% (n = 239) of our patients. Age and creatinine were identified as risk factors for anemia. In our study population, anemia per se did influence 30-d mortality but did not predict longterm mortality. In contrast, a RDW > 14% showed to be highly predictable for a reduced short- and longterm survival in patients with aortic valve disease after TAVI procedure. CONCLUSION:Age and kidney function determine the degree of anemia. The anisocytosis of red blood cells in anemic patients supplements prognostic information in addition to that derived from the WHO-based definition of anemia.

Project description:PurposeTo determine the location of coronary atherosclerosis distribution observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using the database of cardiovascular medicine data from Saitama Sekishinkai Hospital to clarify the association between renal function and angiographic characteristics of coronary atherosclerosis. In total, 3268 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention were included. Propensity score matching revised the total to 1772. The association of renal function with the location and/or distribution of coronary atherosclerosis lesions was then examined.ResultsOverall, coronary lesion was observed in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in 56% patients, whereas 28% and 22% were in the right coronary artery (RCA) and left circumflex coronary artery (LCX), respectively. LAD was most affected and observed in 57% patients with stage 1 CKD. RCA was second-most affected, at 26% CKD stage 1, but it increased to 31%, 38%, and 59% in CKD 3, 4, and 5, respectively. In CKD 5 patients, the RCA was the most affected artery (59%), with 41% LAD lesions. Logistic regression analysis after propensity score matching showed that the odds ratios for an RCA lesion was 3.658 in CKD 5 (p = .025) compared with CKD 1 after adjusting for traditional risk factors.ConclusionThe prevalence of RCA lesions, but not LAD or LCX lesions, increased with increasing CKD stage. The pathophysiology of coronary atherosclerosis may differ by lesion location. Deterioration of renal function may affect progression of atherosclerosis more in the RCA than in the LAD or LCX.

Project description:PurposeMalnutrition has been shown to be related to adverse clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure, hypertension, atrial fibrillation and other cardiovascular diseases. However, in the patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), especially in the elderly, the association of nutritional state and all-cause mortality remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the association of malnutrition with all-cause mortality in the elder patients undergoing PCI.Patients and methodsBased on the largest retrospective and observational cohort study from January 2007 to December 2017, the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score was applied to 21,479 consecutive patients with age ≥60 who undergoing PCI for nutritional assessment. Participants were classified as absent, mild, moderate and severe malnutrition by CONUT score. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare all-cause mortality among the above four groups. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to examine the association of malnutrition with all-cause mortality.ResultsAccording to the CONUT score, 48.19%, 15.08% and 0.94% patients were mildly, moderately and severely malnourished, respectively. During a median follow-up of 5.16 years (interquartile range: 3.02 to 7.89 years), 3173 (14.77%) patients died. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of all-cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with a worse nutritional status. Compared with normal nutritional state, malnutrition was associated with significantly increased risk for all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio for mild, moderate and severe degrees of malnutrition, respectively: 1.20 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09 to 1.33], 1.32 [95% CI: 1.17 to 1.49] and 1.76 [95% CI: 1.33 to 2.33]).ConclusionMalnutrition is prevalent among elderly patients with CAD undergoing PCI, and is strongly related to the all-cause mortality increasing. For elderly patients with CAD undergoing PCI, it is necessary to assess the status of nutrition, and evaluate the efficacy of nutritional interventions.

Project description:BackgroundA growing number of studies have reported insulin therapy to be associated with a higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease. However, the relationship between insulin use and the clinical outcomes of patients with diabetes who undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been fully clarified.MethodsA total of 1,069 consecutive patients with diabetes who underwent PCI were enrolled and divided into 2groups: oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) group (709 patients) and insulin therapy group (360 patients). The primary and secondary endpoints of this study were all-cause death and cardiac death, respectively.ResultsAt baseline, the maximum creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), and creatinine levels were higher, while the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was lower, in the insulin therapy group than in the OHA group. After propensity score matching of baseline characteristics, for patients treated with insulin, the odds ratios of death from any cause in hospital, within 1 year of surgery, and within 2 years of surgery were 12.03 (95% CI: 1.486-97.33, P=0.020), 10.33 (95% CI: 1.21-88.12, P=0.033), and 2.99 (95% CI: 1.22-7.31, P=0.016), respectively, and the odds ratios of cardiac death were 10.33 (95% CI: 1.21-88.12, P=0.033), 6.49 (95% CI: 1.33-31.59, P=0.021), and 5.27 (95% CI: 1.45-19.13, P=0.011), respectively. Generalized estimating equations analysis showed the odds ratios of all-cause death and cardiac death for insulin-treated patients to be 4.77 (95% CI: 1.76-12.95, P=0.002) and 5.38 (95% CI: 1.29-22.96, P=0.023), respectively.ConclusionsCompared with OHA, insulin therapy significantly increases the risk of in-hospital all-cause and cardiac death in patients with diabetes undergoing PCI, and the risk remains significantly at least 2 years after surgery.
