Associations of pre-hospital statin treatment with in-hospital outcomes and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with first acute coronary syndrome-findings from the CCC-ACS project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The current burden of dyslipidemia, the pre-hospital application of statins and the association of pre-hospital statins with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and in-hospital outcomes in Chinese patients with first acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are very significant and remain unclear.

Methods

A total of 41,183 patients who underwent coronary angiography and were diagnosed with ACS for the first time from a nationwide registry study (CCC-ACS) were enrolled. The severity of CAD was assessed using the CAD prognostic index (CADPI). The patients were classified into statin and non-statin groups according to their pre-hospital statin treatment status. Clinical characteristics, CADPI and in-hospital outcomes were compared, and a logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether pre-hospital statin therapy is associated with in-hospital outcomes and CADPI. A sensitivity analysis was used to further explore the issues above.

Results

The non-statin group had more in-hospital all-cause deaths (1.2 vs. 0.8%, P = 0.010). However, no association exists between statin pretreatment and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) or all-cause deaths in the entire population and subgroups (all P > 0.05). Surprisingly, statin pretreatment was associated with an 8.9% higher risk of severely obstructive CAD (CADPI ≥ 37) (OR, 1.089; 95% CI, 1.010-1.175, P = 0.028), and similar results were observed in subgroups of females, those aged 50 to 75 years, and patients with hypertension.

Conclusion

Statin pretreatment was not related to MACEs or all-cause death during hospital stay, but it was associated with a higher risk of increased angiographic severity in patients with first ACS.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after acute coronary artery syndrome (ACS) are at an increased risk of heart failure and death. However, β-blockers have been underused in this population group due to concerns of adverse reactions.ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the β-blocker prescription at admission and its impact on the in-hospital outcomes in patients with COPD after ACS in a Chinese national cohort.MethodsAmong 113,650 patients with ACS enrolled in the national registry of the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China between November 2014 and July 2019, a total of 1,084 ACS patients with COPD were included in this study. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality, and the secondary endpoint was the composite of in-hospital all-cause death and heart failure.ResultsEarly oral β-blocker therapy was administered to 49.8% of patients. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the early β-blocker treatment group had lower all-cause mortality (0.9% vs. 2.9%; P < 0.05) and lower combined endpoint event rate (8.2% vs. 12.0%; P < 0.05) compared to the those of the non-early β-blocker treatment group. The analysis of inverse probability of treatment weighting showed that the early β-blocker treatment group was associated with a significantly reduced incidence of all-cause death (risk ratio, 0.332, 0.119-0.923, P = 0.035), heart failure (risk ratio, 0.625, 95% CI 0.414-0.943, P = 0.025), and combined endpoint events (risk ratio: 0.616, 95% CI: 0.418-0.908, P = 0.014). In the subgroup of patients over 70 years of age, the corresponding hazard ratio was 0.268 (95% CI 0.077-0.938) for all-cause mortality and 0.504 (95% CI 0.316-0.805) for combined endpoint events.Conclusionβ-blockers have been underused in patients with COPD and ACS in China. Early β-blocker therapy is associated with an improvement in in-hospital outcomes in patients with COPD after ACS.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, identifier (NCT02306616).

Project description:BackgroundThe discrepancy between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in clinical practice may be related to factors such as acute stress, renal dysfunction, and anemia, and its relationship with in-hospital outcomes is uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the type of discrepancy between HbA1c and FPG and in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and diabetes.MethodsThe Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China - Acute Coronary Syndrome (CCC-ACS) project is a national, hospital-based quality improvement project with an ongoing database. Patients with ACS, diabetes and complete HbA1c and FPG values at admission were included. The consistent group included patients with HbA1c < 6.5% and FPG < 7.0 mmol/L or HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and FPG ≥ 7.0 mmol/L. The discrepancy group included patients with HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and FPG < 7.0 mmol/L (increased HbA1c group) or HbA1c < 6.5% and FPG ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (increased FBG group).ResultsA total of 7762 patients were included in this study. The numbers of patients in the consistent and discrepancy groups were 5490 and 2272 respectively. In the discrepancy group, increased HbA1c accounted for 77.5% of discrepancies, and increased FPG accounted for 22.5% of discrepancies. After adjusting for confounders, patients in the increased FPG group had a 1.6-fold increased risk of heart failure (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.08-2.44), a 1.6-fold increased risk of composite cardiovascular death and heart failure (OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.09-2.43), and a 1.6-fold increased risk of composite major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and heart failure (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.08-2.24) compared to patients in the increased HbA1c group.ConclusionsPatients with an increased FPG but normal HbA1c had a higher risk of in-hospital adverse outcomes than those with increased HbA1c but normal FPG. This result may indicate that when HbA1c and FPG are inconsistent in patients with ACS and diabetes, the increased FPG that may be caused by stress hyperglycemia may have a more substantial adverse effect than increased HbA1c, which may be caused by chronic hyperglycemia. These high-risk patients should be given more attention and closer monitoring in clinical practice.Trial registryClinicaltrial.gov , NCT02306616 . Registered 29 November 2014.
