The Impact

Introduction: Contemporary in-hospital mortality rates for patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiogenic shock (CS) remain as high as 50%. The impact of comorbid lower extremity peripheral artery disease (LE-PAD) is unknown. Hypothesis: LE-PAD is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in patients presenting with CS and AMI. Methods: Medicare beneficiaries hospitalized with CS related to AMI from 10/2015-6/2017 were identified. PAD status was defined by the inpatient billing codes present in the year prior to presentation. Outcomes included in-hospital mortality, amputation, peripheral revascularization, and 6-month mortality. Adjusted regression models were used to evaluate outcomes. A subgroup analysis included patients requiring mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Results: Among 45,144 patients, 5.9% (N=2,651) had LE-PAD. The average age was 77.8±7.9, 59.8% were male and 83.0% were white. Cumulative in-hospital mortality was 46.8%, with greater risk among LE-PAD patients (55.2% vs 46.3%; adjusted OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.39-1.65). LE-PAD patients also had greater adjusted risk of in-hospital amputation (1.5% vs 0.2%; OR 3.23, 95% CI: 2.16-4.83), peripheral revascularization rates (1.4% vs 0.4%; OR 1.54, 95% CI: 1.06-2.23), and 6-month mortality (43.2% vs 23.7%; HR 2.06, 95% CI: 1.80-2.35). MCS was less frequently utilized in LE-PAD (20.1% vs. 38.1%, p<0.01). Adjusted in-hospital mortality, amputation and peripheral revascularization rates were comparable between LE-PAD and non-LE-PAD patients who received MCS. Non-MCS LE-PAD patients had a 2.28 fold higher adjusted 6-month mortality compared with MCS LE-PAD patients (95% CI 1.60-3.11; Figure). Conclusions: Comorbid PAD is associated with worse limb outcomes and mortality among patients with AMI and CS. Although MCS was less likely to be used in LE-PAD patients, in-hospital mortality and limb complication rates were comparable to non-LE-PAD MCS patients.

Gender Based

Introduction: Although data suggests higher rates of functional decline and inferior outcomes in women compared to men after interventions for peripheral artery disease (PAD), women remain underrepresented in contemporary studies. We used a large national database to better understand gender-based differences in presentation and outcomes for patients undergoing endovascular treatment for PAD. Methods: Patients in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database that underwent lower extremity (LE) endovascular interventions for symptomatic PAD from 2010-2019 were included. Descriptive statistics and multivariable analysis were performed. Results: 128,688 patients (40% female) underwent endovascular LE interventions for symptomatic PAD. Women were more likely to have chronic limb threatening ischemia compared to men (54% vs 51%) and more likely to have a preoperative ABI <0.4 (20% vs 14%). Compared to men, women were older (mean [SD]: 68 [11] vs 70 [12]), more likely to be Black (19% vs 14%), and less likely to be smokers (34% vs 36%), diabetic (50% vs 54%), have CAD (28% vs 35%), or be on dialysis (8% vs 9%) (Table 1). Women were less likely to have exclusively infrapopliteal interventions (8% vs 14%) compared to men (p<0.001 for all). Despite shorter procedural times in women, female gender was an independent predictor of in hospital mortality (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.09-1.44) in a hierarchical multivariable model adjusting for age, race, smoking, and comorbidities. Women were more likely to be discharged to a rehab or nursing home (11% vs 10%, p< 0.001) and less likely to be taking a statin medication (73% vs 78%, p<0.001). Conclusions: Compared to men, women undergoing endovascular LE interventions for PAD are older, present with more severe disease, and have higher adjusted rates of in hospital mortality. More aggressive screening and medical treatment for PAD in women is needed to address these gender-based differences in disease presentation and clinical outcomes.

OnBehalf the GeroCovid Investigators Introduction. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia diagnosed in elderly patients. It often associates with disabling complications, such as stroke and systemic embolism. COVID-19 severely affects older subjects, who show a particularly high mortality, often related to relevant alterations in coagulation and inflammation cascade.  Purpose. Aim of this study was to evaluate how the presence of a prevalent form of AF (at admission or in clinical history) influenced the clinical course of COVID-19 in an aged in-hospital population. Methods. We studied the acute patients included in GeroCovid, a multicenter retrospective-prospective registry designed by the Italian Society of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine and the Norwegian Geriatrics Society. GeroCovid, independently of the healthcare setting and without exclusion criteria, enrolled subjects aged &gt;60 years to analyze risk factors, signs, symptoms and outcomes of COVID-19 in older people. For the purpose of this study, only the acute, in-hospital, cohort was evaluated. Results. Between March 1st and June 6th 2020, 2474 patients were enrolled in GeroCovid. Of these, 806 (32.6%) were assisted in hospital, for an acute condition (age: 79 ± 9 years; men: 51.7%). The prevalence of AF was 21.8%. Patients with the arrhythmia were older (82 ± 8 vs. 77 ± 9 years; p &lt; 0.001) and with a higher CHA2DS2-VASc score (4.1 ± 1.5 vs. 3.2 ± 1.5; p &lt; 0.001). The prevalence of almost all comorbidities was higher in AF patients (in particular, hypertension, cardiac diseases, diabetes, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, chronic renal failure, COPD, stroke, obesity). At multivariable analysis, advanced age (p = 0.010), an increased number of white blood cells (p = 0.031), the presence of cardiac diseases (p &lt; 0.001), peripheral artery disease (p = 0.030) and of signs or symptoms of heart failure (p = 0.003) characterized older patients with AF. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in patients with the arrhythmia (36.9 vs. 27.5%; OR = 1.55, 95%CI = 1.09-2.20; p = 0.015). A multivariable logistic regression model showed that AF was an independent predictor of mortality (p = 0.021), such as male gender (p = 0.014) and the presence of peripheral artery disease (p = 0.003). COPD, stroke, chronic renal failure, diabetes and obesity were deleted from the final model. Conclusions. AF is frequently observed in older patients with COVID-19. Subjects with both conditions have a more complex clinical status and show a higher in-hospital mortality, thus requesting a particularly careful and intensive management.

Background: To assess racial/ethnic differences in disease severity, hospital outcomes, length of stay and healthcare costs among hospitalized patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).Methods: This study used data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to explore the racial/ethnic disparities in PAD-related hospitalizations including presence of PAD with chronic limb threatened ischemia (CLI), amputation, in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stays and estimated medical costs. Race-ethnicity groups included non-Hispanic White, Black, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, Native American, and others (multiple races). Regression analyses adjusted for age, gender, Charlson Comorbidity Index, primary payer, patient location, bed size of the admission hospital, geographic region of the hospital, and rural/urban location of the hospital.Results: A total of 341,480 PAD hospitalizations were identified. Compared with non-Hispanic Whites, Native Americans had the highest odds of PAD with CLI (OR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.61, 1.95); Black (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.66, 1.76) and Hispanic (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.31,1.41) patients had higher odds of amputation; Asian or Pacific Islanders had a higher mortality (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.01,1.43), whereas Black (OR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.76, 0.87) patients has a lower mortality; Asian or Pacific Islanders incurred higher overall inpatient costs (Margin = 30093.01, 95% CI: 28827.55, 31358.48) and most prolonged length of stay (IRR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.09, 0.18).Conclusions: Our study identified elevated odds of amputation among Hispanic patients hospitalized with PAD as well as higher hospital mortality and medical expenses among Asian or Pacific Islander PAD inpatients. These two demographic groups were previously thought to have a lower risk for PAD and represent important populations for further investigation.

Introduction: The prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is rising worldwide, with a considerable impact on health care systems. We aimed to characterize the recent trends in surgical, percutaneous and clinical therapeutic procedures and in-hospital outcomes of PAD among all hospitalized patients in the Brazilian Public Health System between 2008 and 2012. Methods: Nationwide data of all hospitalizations in the Brazilian Public Health System (DataSUS) database in 2008, 2010, and 2012 were analyzed regarding the frequency of hospitalizations due to PAD (endovascular - EVR, surgical revascularizations - SR and clinical treatment - CT), length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality and associated costs to the health system. Results: The number of hospitalizations related to PAD (EVR, SR and CT) remained stable from 2008 to 2012: 28,091 and 28,151 respectively, accounting for 0.25% and 0.24% of all in-hospital procedures. However, there was a significant change in the proportions of treatment modalities used in this period. In 2008: SR = 8,001 (29%), EVR = 3,207 (11%) and CT = 16,887 (60%); in 2010: SR = 7,999 (30%), EVR = 4,020 (15%) and CT: 14,849 (55%); and in 2012: SR = 7,882 (28%), EVR = 5,044 (18%) and CT = 15,225 (54%); p<0.001. The results show a 57% increase in EVR, and a 9.8% decrease in CT in this period. Total costs raised 23%, from US$ 18.6 million in 2008 to R$ 22.9 million in 2012 (p< 0.001), with a marked 92% increase in EVR costs (R$ 5.3 to 10.0 million), compared to SR (11%) and CT (30%). Global mean hospital days did not change from 2008 to 2012 (5.8 to 5.7 days), whereas it decreased for EVR (5.7 to 4.8, p<0,001). Hospital mortality decreased from 2008 to 2012 for EVR (2.0 to 1.4%, p=0.048), increased for CT (5.1 to 5.8%, p=0.002) and remained stable for SR (8.5 to 8.8%, p=0.44). Overall mortality, however, increased from 6.2% in 2008 to 6.7% in 2012 (p=0.004). Conclusion: There is an increasing proportion of EVR for PAD in Brazil, with a concomitant increase in costs, mainly related to these procedures. Our administrative data-based analysis depicts the significant rise of overall PAD mortality in Brazil, especially in clinically treated patients, emphasizing the need of controlling PAD risk factors and promoting its early diagnosis and effective management.
