Abstract Background Cardiovascular deaths are more frequently in hemodialysis (HD) patients compared to general population. However, difference of prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with or without HD were not well evaluated. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and prognostic characteristics of ACS patients with HD compared to that of ACS patients without HD. Methods We investigated 3427 ACS patients including 63 HD and 3364 non-HD patients between 2013 and 2017 using date from Mie ACS registry, a retrospective and multicenter registry. The primary outcome was defined as all-cause mortality. Results HD patients showed significantly higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus, past treatment of coronary artery disease, history of myocardial infarction and Killip ≥2 compared to non-HD patients (p<0.05, respectively). During the follow-up periods (median 719 days), 425 (12.4%) patients experienced all-cause death. HD patients demonstrated the higher all-cause mortality rate compared to that of non-HD patients during the follow-up (11.9% versus 38.1%, p<0.001, chi square). Kaplan Meier survival curves demonstrated that HD and non-HD patients with Killip 1 showed similar 30-day mortality, and Killip ≥2 patients also showed similar prognosis (Left side of figure). On the other hand, all cause mortality at 2 years were higher in Killip 1 HD patients compared to Killip 1 non-HD patients and similar between Killip 1 HD patients and Killip ≥2 non-HD patients in the 30 days landmark analysis (Right side of figure). In addition, cox regression analyses for all cause mortality demonstrated that HD was a strongest independent prognostic factor not of 30-day mortality but of after 30-day mortality with hazard ratio of 4.09 (95% confidential interval: 2.32–7.21, p<0.001). Figure 1 Conclusion Careful management are required in chronic phase for ACS patients with HD even in Killip 1 classification.

Abstract Background: Several studies found that baseline low LDL-C concentration was associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which was called “cholesterol paradox”. Low LDL-C concentration may reflect underlying malnutrition, which was strongly associated with increased mortality. We objected to investigate the cholesterol paradox in patients with CAD and the effects of malnutrition.Method: A total of 41,229 CAD patients admitted to Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital in China were included in this study from January 2007 to December 2018, and divided into two groups (LDL-C < 1.8 mmol/L, n=4,863; LDL-C ≥ 1.8 mmol/L, n = 36,366). We used Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analyses to assess the association between LDL-C levels and long-term all-cause mortality and the effect of malnutrition. Result: In this real-world cohort (mean age 62.94 years; 74.94% male), there were 5257 incidents of all-cause death during a median follow-up of 5.20 years [Inter-quartile range (IQR): 3.05-7.78 years]. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that low LDL-C levels were associated with worse prognosis. After adjusting for baseline confounders (e.g., age, sex and comorbidities, etc.), multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that low LDL-C level (<1.8mmol/L) was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (adjusted HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.96-1.24). After adjustment of nutritional status, risk of all-cause mortality of patients with low LDL-C level decreased (adjusted HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.83-0.98). In the final multivariate Cox model, low LDL-C level was related to better prognosis (adjusted HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84-0.99).Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that the cholesterol paradox persisted in CAD patients, but disappeared after accounting for the effects of malnutrition.

Abstract Heterogenous data about the prognostic impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias exist. Therefore, this study evaluates this impact of AF in patients presenting with ventricular tachyarrhythmias. 1,993 consecutive patients presenting with ventricular tachyarrhythmias (i.e. ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (VT, VF)) on admission at one institution were included (from 2002 until 2016). All medical data of index and follow-up hospitalizations were collected during the complete follow-up period for each patient. Statistics comprised univariable Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression analyses in the unmatched consecutive cohort and after propensity-score matching for harmonization. The primary prognostic endpoint was long-term all-cause mortality at 2.5 years. AF was present in 31% of patients presenting with index ventricular tachyarrhythmias on admission (70% paroxysmal, 9% persistent, 21% permanent). VT was more common (67% versus 59%; p = 0.001) than VF (33% versus 41%; p = 0.001) in AF compared to non-AF patients. Long-term all-cause mortality at 2.5 years occurred more often in AF compared to non-AF patients (mortality rates 40% versus 24%, log rank p = 0.001; HR = 1.825; 95% CI 1.548–2.153; p = 0.001), which may be attributed to higher rates of all-cause mortality at 30 days, in-hospital mortality and mortality after discharge (p < 0.05) (secondary endpoints). Mortality differences were observed irrespective of index ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VT or VF), LV dysfunction or presence of an ICD. In conclusion, this study identifies AF as an independent predictor of death in patients presenting consecutively with ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

9049 Background: The natural history of BRAF and NRAS mutant (mut) melanoma (mel) has been described, but prognostic implications of KIT mut mel have not. Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective review of 180 patients (pts) enriched for mucosal, acral or chronic sun-damaged skin (CSD) mel and screened for KIT, BRAF, and NRAS mut from 4/07 - 4/10 as a part of a phase II imatinib study. Pt/disease characteristics were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis or Chi-square tests. Factors associated with outcomes were assessed by Kaplan-Meier methods and multivariable Cox regression. Results: Median age, 63.7 years; 54.4% male. Primary site: 40% mucosal, 29% acral, 22% CSD, 9% others. Mut rate: 18% KIT, 16% BRAF, 14% NRAS, 52% wild-type (wt). Pathologic subtype differed by genetic subgroup (p<.001) while age, gender, and stage did not (all p>0.05). 18/26 (69%) KIT mut pts received imatinib in the metastatic (met) setting; 6/18 received > 1 other KIT inhibitor. 3/25 (12%) BRAF mut pts received vemurafenib. 8/27 (30%) KIT mut, 4/27 (15%) BRAF mut, 6/20 (30%) NRAS mut, and 6/20 (30%) wt pts received ipilimumab. 149/180 (83%) pts developed mets at a median of 2.15 years (95% CI: 1.72, 2.72). Median follow-up (FU) of pts not developing mets was 3.91 yrs (range: 0.25, 14.34). Older age (HR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.03) and pathologic subtype (mucosal vs CSD HR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.84; non-CSD/unknown vs CSD HR: 2.05, 95% CI: 1.00, 4.21) were associated with increased risk of mets but not with time from mets to death. Of 149 pts who progressed, 123 (83%) died during FU. Median time from met to death was 1.21 years (95% CI: 0.91, 1.67). Median FU from time of mets among those alive at last FU was 2.53 yrs (range: 0.06, 6.85). Mut status including KIT mut was not associated with time to first met or time from met to death. Pts who received ipilimumab from time of first distant met had reduced risk of death (HR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.36, 0.87) independent of mut status. No impact was observed with KIT inhibition. Conclusions: KIT mut status is not an independent predictor of time to mets or survival in pts with mets. Ipilimumab improved pt outcomes regardless of mut status. The lack of impact of KIT inhibitors is likely due to the heterogeneity of KIT mut in mel but does not preclude efficacy in appropriately selected pts.

Abstract Background Several studies have found that a low baseline low -density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration was associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which is called the “cholesterol paradox”. Low LDL-C concentration may reflect underlying malnutrition, which was strongly associated with increased mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the cholesterol paradox in patients with CAD and the effects of malnutrition. Method A total of 41,229 CAD patients admitted to Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital in China were included in this study from January 2007 to December 2018 and divided into two groups (LDL-C < 1.8 mmol/L, n = 4863; LDL-C ≥ 1.8 mmol/L, n = 36,366). The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analyses were used to assess the association between LDL-C levels and long-term all-cause mortality and the effect of malnutrition. Result In this real-world cohort (mean age 62.9 years; 74.9% male), there were 5257 cases of all-cause death during a median follow-up of 5.20 years [interquartile range (IQR): 3.05–7.78 years]. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that low LDL-C levels were associated with a worse prognosis. After adjusting for baseline confounders (e.g., age, sex and comorbidities, etc.), multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that a low LDL-C level (< 1.8 mmol/L) was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (adjusted HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.96–1.24). After adjustment for nutritional status, the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with low LDL-C levels decreased (adjusted HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.83–0.98). In the final multivariate Cox model, a low LDL-C level was related to better prognosis (adjusted HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84–0.99). Conclusion This study demonstrated that the cholesterol paradox existed in CAD patients but disappeared after accounting for the effects of malnutrition.

Abstract Background: Assessing hospital mortality and its predictors is important as some of these can be prevented through appropriate interventions. Few studies have reported hospital mortality data among older adults in sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of this study was to assess the mortality and associated factors among hospitalized older adults in Togo.Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study from February 2018 to September 2019 among patients ≥50 years admitted in medical and surgical services of six hospitals in Togo. Data were recorded during hospitalization and through telephone follow-up survey within 90 days after admission. The main outcome was all-cause mortality at 3 months. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analyses were performed to assess predictors of mortality.Results: The median age of the 650 older adults included in the study period was 61 years, IQR: [55-70] and at least one comorbidity was identified in 59.7% of them. The all-cause mortality rate of 17.2% (95%CI: 14.4-20.4) and the majority of death (93.7%) occurred in hospital. Overall survival rate was 85.5% and 82.8% after 30 and 90 days of follow-up, respectively. Factors associated with 3-month mortality were the hospital level in the health pyramid, hospitalization service, length of stay, functional impairment, depression and malignant diseases.Conclusion: Togolese health system needs to adjust its response to an aging population in order to provide the most effective care.

Background: This study reviews the mortality of patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) from the first consultation with a Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot Team (MDFT) and analyzes the main cause of death, as well as the relevant clinical factors associated with survival. Methods: Data of 338 consecutive patients referred to the MDFT center for a new DFU during the 2008–2014 period were analyzed. Follow-up: until death or until 30 April 2020, for up to 12.2 years. Results: Clinical characteristics: median age was 71 years, 92.9% had type 2 diabetes, and about 50% had micro-macrovascular complications. Ulcer characteristics: Wagner grade 1–2 (82.3%), ischemic (49.2%), and infected ulcers (56.2%). During follow-up, 201 patients died (59.5%), 110 (54.7%) due to cardiovascular disease. Kaplan—Meier curves estimated a reduction in survival of 60% with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI), (54.7–65.3) at 5 years. Cox regression analysis adjusted to a multivariate model showed the following associations with mortality, with hazard ratios (HRs) (95% CI): age, 1.07 (1.05–1.08); HbA1c value < 7% (53 mmol/mol), 1.43 (1.02–2.0); active smoking, 1.59 (1.02–2.47); ischemic heart or cerebrovascular disease, 1.55 (1.15–2.11); chronic kidney disease, 1.86 (1.37–2.53); and ulcer severity (SINBAD system) 1.12 (1.02–1.26). Conclusion: Patients with a history of DFU have high mortality. Two less known predictors of mortality were identified: HbA1c value < 7% (53 mmol/mol) and ulcer severity.

Abstract Background and aims Cancer in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is an important comorbidity to be taken into consideration while planning for renal replacement therapy (RRT) options due to its associated increased mortality. This study aims to investigate the natural history and association of cancer with all-cause mortality in an ESRD population receiving dialysis. Method The study was conducted on 1271 ESRD patients receiving dialysis between January 2012 and December 2017. A comparative analysis was carried out between 119 patients with and 1152 without cancer history at entry into this study (baseline). A 1:2 (119 cancer: 238 no cancer) propensity score matched sample of 357 patients was also used for analysis. Cox-regression analysis was used to study the strength of the association between cancer and all-cause mortality. Kaplan–Meier (KM) analysis was used to demonstrate the difference in cumulative survival between the groups. A competing risk analysis was also carried out to calculate the probability of competing events (death, transplant and incident cancer). Results At baseline, 10.1% of the cohort had a history of cancer (current and past) with the annual incident rate being 1.3%. Urological cancers were the leading site of cancer. The median age of our cohort was 63 years with a predominance of males (63%) and Caucasians (79%). The majority (69%) of the cohort were receiving haemodialysis. 47% had a history of diabetes with 88% being hypertensive. During a median follow-up of 28 months, the proportion of deaths observed was similar between the groups in the matched sample (cancer 49.6 versus no-cancer 52.1%, p value 0.77). In a univariable Cox-regression model, there was no significant association between cancer and all-cause mortality (HR 1.28; 95% CI 0.97–1.67; p = 0.07). The KM estimates showed similar observations in the cumulative survival between the groups (matched sample log-rank, p value 0.85). In competing risk analysis, the cumulative probability of death at 5 years was non-significantly higher in the cancer group (cancer group 64% vs no cancer group 51%, p value 0.16). Conclusions In our real-world multi-morbid dialysis cohort of 119 cancer patients, baseline cancer history did not prove to be an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in the first 5 years of follow-up, suggesting the need for a case-by-case approach in provision of RRT options, including transplantation.

613 Background: Modern surgical and pathologic techniques can detect small volume axillary metastases in breast cancer. The clinical significance of these metastases was evaluated in comparison to patients with negative sentinel lymph nodes (Neg-SN). Methods: Retrospective database review from 1997 through 2003 for eligible patients with unilateral breast cancer and no history of significant non-breast malignancy identified 232 patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases identified only by immunohistochemical stains (IHC-SN). They were compared to 252 Neg-SN controls selected at random from the same database population. Statistical analysis was performed with 2-sample tests, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox regression methods. Results: IHC-SN patients had worse prognostic features and received more systemic therapy than controls (Table). Age and ER status were similar. In 123 IHC-SN patients treated with axillary dissection (ALND), 16% had macrometastases in the non-SLNs. Only one axillary recurrence occurred in the group of IHC-SN patients without ANLD (n=109). With median follow up of 5 years (range 0.01–12.0), 28 recurrences and 25 deaths occurred. There were no differences between cases and controls for recurrence-free survival (RFS) or overall survival (OS) both by univariate and multivariate models that included variables such as age, tumor size, chemotherapy and hormone therapy [HR 0.99 (95%CI 0.43–2.28, p=0.99) for RFS, HR 2.06 (95%CI 0.79–5.35) p=0.14 for OS]. In IHC-SN patients treated with ALND, patients with positive non-SLNs (n=20) tended to have worse RFS than those with negative non-SLNs (n=103) [RFS 89% vs. 97% at 5 yrs (p=0.06)]. Conclusions: A significant number of IHC-SN patients had a macrometastasis identified at ALND. In patients not undergoing dissection, axillary recurrence was a rare event. However, failure to identify additional metastases by omitting ALND may result in understaging and inadequate systemic treatment in some patients.

Aim: To evaluate the prognostic value of circulating VE-catherinfor cumulative survivalin patients with ischemic chronic heart failure (CHF).Methods: A total of 154 patients withischemic symptomatic moderate-to-severe CHF were enrolled in the study on discharge from the hospital. Observation period was up to 3 years. Blood samples for biomarkers measurements were collected. ELISA method for measurements of circulating level of VE-catherin was used. Concentrations of VEcatherinfor cumulative survival cases due to advanced CHF were tested. Additionally, all-cause mortality, and CHFrelated death were examined.Results: During a median follow-up of 2.18 years, 21 participants died and 106 subjects were hospitalized repetitively. Medians of circulating levels of VE-catherin in survived and died patient cohort were 0.63 ng/ml (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.55-0.64 ng/ml) and 1.03 ng/ml (95% CI = 0.97-1.07 ng/ml) (P<0.001). ROC analysis has been shown that cutoff point of VE-catherin concentration for cumulative survival function was 0.755ng/ml. It has beenfound a significantly divergence of Kaplan-Meier survival curves in patients with high (>0.755 ng/ml) and low (<0.755 ng/ml) concentrations of VE-catherin. Circulating VE-catherin independently predicted all-cause mortality (OR = 1.27; 95% CI = 1.08–1.59; P = 0.002), CHF-related death (OR = 1.16; 95% CI 1.02–1.50; P < 0.001), and also CHF-related rehospitalisation (OR = 1.12; 95% CI = 1.07 – 1.25; P<0.001) within 3 years of observation period.Conclusion: Increased circulating VE-catherinassociates with increased 3-year CHF-related death, all-cause mortality, and risk for recurrent hospitalization due to CHF.J MEDICINE July 2015; 16 (2) : 73-78

Abstract Introduction Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is an established exam for evaluation of extent and severity of coronary artery disease. Purpose To analyse the results and complications of DSE and identify prognostic predictors in patients (P) who underwent DSE for myocardial ischemia detection. Methods 220P who underwent consecutive DSE from 2013 to 2017. P with significant valvular disease were excluded. Clinical data, echocardiographic parameters and data from follow up (FU) regarding all-cause mortality and MACEs were analysed. Mean age 64.8 ± 12.0 years(Y), 143 men (65%). Results 88P (40%) had positive, 102 had negative and 30 had inconclusive DSE; complications rate of 15%. Prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, prior MI, percutaneous coronary interventionc (PCI), coronary arterial bypass graft (CABG) and HF was 82.7%, 42.3%, 67.7%, 35.9%, 31.8%, 10.9% and 9.5%, respectively. Mean left ventricular endsystolic (LVSD) and enddiastolic dimensions were 33.7 ± 8.9 and 52.8 ± 7.1 mm. Mean resting wall motion score index (rWMSI) and peak (pWMSI) were 1.16 ± 0.28 and 1.24 ± 0.34. Mean resting GLS (rGLS) and peak GLS (pGLS) were -16.3 ± 4.3 and -16.6 ± 4.3. Mean no. of ischemic segments was 1.7 ± 2.4 and 16.8% had ischemia &gt;3 segments. There was ischemia in left anterior descending (LAD) coronary in 53P and in circumflex and right coronary territories in 18 and 68P. 22.6% had more than one ischemic territory. 43P (49.4%) underwent intervention, 38 with PCI and 5 with CABG. During a mean FU of 38.8 ± 16.8 months, 47 MACEs were observed, including 32 deaths (14.5%). Positive DSE (p = 0.012), no. of ischemic segments (p = 0.019), ischemia in the LAD (p = 0.003), rGLS (p = 0.038) and pGLS (p = 0.038) were related to the occurrence of MACEs. In Cox regression analysis, age (p = 0.005), DM (p = 0.005), HF (p = 0.006), prior CABG (p = 0.015), LVSD (p = 0.026), rWMSI (p = 0.029), pWMSI (p = 0.013) and pGLS (p = 0.038) were associated with increased all-cause mortality. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis showed that survival was significantly worse for ischemia &gt; 3 segments (log rank 0.005), ischemia of more than one territory (log rank 0.025) and pWMSI &gt;1.5 (log rank &lt; 0.0005). With multivariate Cox regression analysis, age &gt;65Y (HR 4.22, p = 0.004), DM (HR 2.49,p = 0.038) and pWMSI &gt; 1.5 (HR 9.73,p = 0.007) were independently associated with all-cause mortality. Conclusion In patients who underwent DSE there were some baseline and DSE-related independent predictors of long-term prognosis: age, DM and peak WMSI. Abstract P1787 Figure. Kaplan–Meier curves
