Doxorubicin-induced heart failure in cancer patients: A cohort study based on the Korean National Health Insurance Database.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Doxorubicin is a typical anticancer drug that causes cardiomyopathy and heart failure (HF). The aim of our study was to investigate incidence, risk factors for doxorubicin-induced HF in Korean cancer patients and their survival rate, utilizing a nationwide population-based cohort. METHODS:We analyzed 58 541 cancer patients who received doxorubicin between 2003 and 2010. Descriptive analysis was performed in patients with breast cancer, hematologic malignancy, gynecological malignancy, and sarcoma. Risk factors associated with doxorubicin-induced HF were investigated using a Cox proportional hazards model. The survival rate of doxorubicin-induced HF patients was compared with that of patients without doxorubicin-induced HF. RESULTS:A total of 2324 (4%) were diagnosed with doxorubicin-induced HF. In patients with breast cancer, predictive risk factors for doxorubicin-induced HF included age over 65 years [hazard ratio (HR) 1.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.72], hypertension [HR 2.45 (2.12- 2.84)], diabetes mellitus [HR 1.26 (1.05-1.51)], coronary artery disease [HR 2.08 (1.63-2.66)], advanced stage [HR 1.31 (1.13-1.50)], and trastuzumab administration [HR 2.94 (2.54-3.40)]. In patients with hematologic malignancy, predictive risk factors included age over 65 years [HR 1.75 (1.49-2.07)], hypertension [HR 1.62 (1.37-1.92)], and coronary artery disease [HR 2.28 (1.80-2.89)]. Five-year survival rates of patients with doxorubicin-induced HF were significantly lower relative to those of patients without HF in breast cancer and hematologic malignancy: 80% vs 84% and 69% vs 75%, respectively (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:In cancer patients treated with doxorubicin, management of risk factors, early detection, and treatment for doxorubicin-induced HF might be critical for patient survival.

Project description:ObjectivesDementia is common in people over the age of 65 years, with 80% of people with dementia older than 75 years. Previous studies have linked dementia to late-life depression, but the association between dementia and mid-life depression is poorly understood. Depression is a preventable and treatable medical condition, which means it is a modifiable factor that can potentially prevent or delay dementia. This study aimed to identify the association between dementia and depression within the life course.DesignA nationwide, retrospective propensity score matched cohort study associating dementia with depression. Depression diagnosed between the ages of 45 and 64 years was classified as 'mid-life' and 'late-life' if diagnosed at 65 years or older. Patients were considered to have depression when one or more International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision codes for depression were recorded as primary or secondary diagnosis.SettingNational Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort database of the National Health Insurance Service in South Korea, containing patient data from 2002 to 2013.ParticipantsThe study included 1824 and 374 852 patients in the case and control groups, respectively. A logistic regression analysis with complex sampling design was performed after adjusting for covariates, using the propensity score matching method without callipers, with a 1:1 nearest neighbour matching algorithm.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe association of mid-onset and late-onset depression with dementia in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, such as sex and age, within the Korean population.ResultsDementia was significantly associated with the presence of depression (OR=2.20, 95% CI=1.53-3.14); in particular, female patients with depression and patients aged 45-64 years with depression had increased odds of dementia (OR=2.65, 95% CI=1.78-3.93 and OR=2.72, 95% CI=1.41-5.24, respectively) CONCLUSION: Depression is an associated factor for dementia, especially among people aged 45-64 years (mid-life).
