Introduction: Living in a disadvantaged neighborhood is associated with developing cardiovascular disease and poor health outcomes. We hypothesized that socioeconomic disadvantage - as measured by neighborhood level factors - is associated with cardiovascular (CV) mortality for patients who experienced a myocardial infarction (MI) at a young age. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients with a first MI at age <50 years treated at two medical centers from 2000 - 2016. Each patient’s home address was mapped to their census block group (CBG), a geographically compact region containing ~ 600 to 3000 people. For each CBG, we obtained the Neighborhood Stress Score (NSS) - a standardized score based on 7 census variables that Massachusetts Medicaid uses to measure socioeconomic stress. Patients were assigned an NSS score based on their CBG and stratified into tertiles of risk. Higher scores indicate greater socioeconomic disadvantage. We used Cox proportional hazards modeling to evaluate the association of NSS with CV mortality. Results: Of 2097 patients (median age 44; 19% female), addresses were available for 96%. The median NSS score was -0.31, with scores ranging from -1.11 to 5.33. Higher NSS scores were associated with public insurance, hypertension, diabetes, smoking cigarettes, and illicit drug use. Over a median follow-up of 11 years, 12.7% of individuals in the top tertile died versus 7.5% in the bottom tertile, p=0.002. After adjusting for age, sex, race, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, creatinine, tobacco smoking, use of alcohol or illicit drugs, cardiac catheterization, and statin or aspirin at discharge, each 1-point increase in NSS was associated with a 25% increase in CV mortality (adjusted HR = 1.25, [95% CI 1.01 - 1.55], p=0.045). Conclusion: Among patients experiencing an MI at a young age, socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with higher CV mortality. Our data suggest that neighborhood factors have an important effect on post-MI survival.

ABSTRACT Intake of vegetables is recommended for the prevention of myocardial infarction (MI). However, vegetables make up a heterogeneous group, and subgroups of vegetables may be differentially associated with MI. The aim of this study was to examine replacement of potatoes with other vegetables or subgroups of other vegetables and the risk of MI. Substitutions between subgroups of other vegetables and risk of MI were also investigated. We followed 29,142 women and 26,029 men aged 50-64 years in the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort. Diet was assessed at baseline by using a detailed validated FFQ. Hazards ratios (HR) with 95% CI for the incidence of MI were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression. During 13.6 years of follow-up, 656 female and 1,694 male cases were identified. Among women, the adjusted HR for MI was 1.02 (95% CI: 0.93, 1.13) per 500 g/week replacement of potatoes with other vegetables. For vegetable subgroups, the HR was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.77, 1.13) for replacement of potatoes with fruiting vegetables and 0.91 (95% CI: 0.77, 1.07) for replacement of potatoes with other root vegetables. A higher intake of cabbage replacing other vegetable subgroups was associated with a statistically non-significant higher risk of MI. A similar pattern of associations was found when intake was expressed in kcal/week. Among men, the pattern of associations was overall found to be similar to that for women. This study supports food-based dietary guidelines recommending to consume a variety of vegetables from all subgroups.

Background. Literature regarding the influence of age/sex on mortality trends for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) hospitalizations is limited to hospitals participating in voluntary AMI registries.Objective. Evaluate the impact of age and sex on in-hospital AMI mortality using a nationally representative hospital sample.Methods. Secondary data analysis using AMI hospitalizations identified from the Nationwide-Inpatient-Sample (NIS). Descriptive and Cox proportional hazards analysis explored mortality trends by age and sex from 1997–2006 while adjusting for the influence of, demographics, co-morbidity, length of hospital stay and hospital characteristics.Results. From 1997–2006, in-hospital AMI mortality rates decreased across time in all subgroups (), except for males aged <55 years. The greatest decline was observed in females aged <55 years, compared to similarly aged males, mortality outcomes were poorer in 1997-1998 (RR 1.47, 95% CI  =  1.30–1.66), when compared with 2005-2006 (RR 1.03, 95% CI  =  0.90–1.18), adjusted value for trend demonstrated a statistically significant decline in the relative AMI mortality risk for females when compared with males (<0.001).Conclusion. Over the last decade, in-hospital AMI mortality rates declined for every age/sex group except males <55 years. While AMI female-male mortality disparity has narrowed, some room for improvement remains.

Background: Little is known about the association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and the risk of heart failure (HF) after myocardial infarction (MI), and whether it differs by reduced (HFrEF) or preserved (HFpEF) ejection fraction (EF) has yet to be determined. Subjects and Methods: Olmsted County, Minnesota residents (n=1,924; mean age, 64 years; 66% male) with first MI diagnosed in 1990-2010 and no prior HF were followed through 2013. Framingham Heart Study criteria were used to define HF, which was further classified according to EF (applying a 50% cutoff). The extent of angiographic CAD was defined at index MI according to the number of major epicardial coronary arteries with ≥50% lumen diameter obstruction. Fine & Gray and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the association of CAD categories with incidence of HF, and multiple imputation methodology was applied to account for the 19% with missing EF data. Results: During a mean (SD) follow-up of 6.7 (5.9) years, 594 patients developed HF. Adjusted for age and sex, with death considered a competing risk, the cumulative incidence rates of HF among patients with 1- (n=581), 2- (n=622), and 3-vessel disease (n=721) were 11.2%, 14.6% and 20.5% at 30 days; and 18.1%, 22.3% and 29.4% at 5 years after MI, respectively. The increased risk of HF with greater number of occluded vessels was only modestly attenuated after further adjustment for patient and MI characteristics, and did not differ materially by EF (Table). Conclusions: The extent of angiographic CAD expressed by the number of diseased vessels is independently associated with HF incidence after MI. The association is evident promptly after MI and applies to both HFrEF and HFpEF.

Background Patients with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety – emotional distress – after a myocardial infarction (MI) have been shown to have worse prognosis and increased healthcare costs. However, whether specific subgroups of patients with emotional distress are more vulnerable is less well established. The purpose of this study was to identify the association between different patterns of emotional distress over time with late cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality among first-MI patients aged <75 years in Sweden. Methods We utilized data on 57,602 consecutive patients with a first-time MI from the national SWEDEHEART registers. Emotional distress was assessed using the anxiety/depression dimension of the European Quality of Life Five Dimensions questionnaire two and 12 months after the MI, combined into persistent (emotional distress at both time-points), remittent (emotional distress at the first follow-up only), new (emotional distress at the second-follow up only) or no distress. Data on cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality were obtained until the study end-time. We used multiple imputation to create complete datasets and adjusted Cox proportional hazards models to estimate hazard ratios. Results Patients with persistent emotional distress were more likely to die from cardiovascular (hazard ratio: 1.46, 95% confidence interval: 1.16, 1.84) and non-cardiovascular causes (hazard ratio: 1.54, 95% confidence interval: 1.30, 1.82) than those with no distress. Those with remittent emotional distress were not statistically significantly more likely to die from any cause than those without emotional distress. Discussion Among patients who survive 12 months, persistent, but not remittent, emotional distress was associated with increased cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality. This indicates a need to identify subgroups of individuals with emotional distress who may benefit from further assessment and specific treatment.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of bypass grafting (BG) vs endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Materials and Methods: The CRITISCH Registry is a prospective, national, interdisciplinary, multicenter registry evaluating the current practice of all available treatment options in 1200 consecutive CLTI patients. For the purposes of this analysis, only the 337 patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD treated by either BG (n=86; median 78 years, 48 men) or EVT (n=251; median age 80 years, 135 men) were analyzed. The primary composite outcome was amputation-free survival (AFS); secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and amputation-free time (AFT). All outcomes were evaluated in Cox proportional hazards models; the results are reported as the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The Cox regression analysis revealed a significantly greater hazard of amputation or death after BG (HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.05 to 3.03, p=0.028). The models for AFT and overall survival also suggested a higher hazard for BG, but the differences were not significant (AFT: HR 1.66, 95% CI 0.78 to 3.53, p=0.188; OS: HR 1.41, 95% CI 0.80 to 2.47, p=0.348). The absence of runoff vessels (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.15 to 2.60, p=0.008) was associated with a decreased AFS. The likelihood of amputation was higher in male patients (HR 2.21, 95% CI 1.10 to 4.45, p=0.027) and was associated with a lack of runoff vessels (HR 1.95, 95% CI 0.96 to 3.95, p=0.065) and myocardial infarction (HR 3.74, 95% CI 1.23 to 11.35, p=0.020). Death was more likely in patients without runoff vessels (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.11 to 2.80, p=0.016) and those with a higher risk score (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.03 to 2.91, p=0.038). Conclusion: This analysis suggested that BG was associated with poorer AFS than EVT in patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD and CLTI. Male sex, previous myocardial infarction, and the absence of runoff vessels were additionally identified as predictors of poorer outcomes.

Abstract Introduction Our purposes were to (1) characterize the timeline of eight postoperative complications following hand surgery, (2) assess complication timing for the procedures that account for the majority of adverse events, and (3) determine any differences in complication timing between outpatient and inpatient procedures. Materials and Methods Patients undergoing hand, wrist, and forearm procedures from 2005 to 2016 were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Timing of eight adverse events was characterized. Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to compare adverse event timing between inpatient and outpatient procedures. Results A total of 59,040 patients were included. The median postoperative day of diagnosis for each adverse event was as follows: myocardial infarction 1, pulmonary embolism 2, acute kidney injury 3, pneumonia 8, deep vein thrombosis 9, sepsis 13, urinary tract infection 15, and surgical site infection 16. Amputations, fasciotomies, and distal radius open reduction internal fixation accounted for the majority of adverse events. Complication timing was significantly earlier in inpatients compared with outpatients for myocardial infarction. Conclusion This study characterizes postoperative adverse event timing following hand surgery. Surgeons should have the lowest threshold for testing for each complication during the time period of greatest risk. Level of Evidence This is a therapeutic, Level III study.

86 Background: Molecular assays can improve risk assessment for newly diagnosed PCa, but it is imperative to characterize assay performance in different racial groups, since tumor biology and clinical outcomes may vary. A racially diverse cohort of men (20% AA) with PCa in the Center for Prostate Disease Research multi-center national database was used to determine the association of GPS with outcomes in men treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) for localized PCa. Methods: Biopsy specimens from 431 men treated with RP for NCCN very low, low or intermediate risk PCa at 2 U.S. military medical centers were tested with a 17-gene RT-PCR assay to validate the association between GPS (scale 0-100) and 1) biochemical recurrence (BCR) following RP, and 2) adverse pathology (AP) at RP. BCR was defined as 2 successive PSA levels > 0.2 ng/mL. AP was defined as high-grade (primary Gleason pattern 4 or any pattern 5) and/or pT3 disease. Cox proportional hazards and logistic regression models were used. Results: GPS was obtained in 402 cases (93%), including 82 AA men. A broad range of GPS results was observed in both AA and CA men; GPS distributions were similar between AA (median GPS = 30.3; inter-quartile range (IQR): 23-38) and CA (median GPS = 30.3; IQR: 23-40); no correlation was observed between GPS and race (r = -0.04, p = 0.45). No differences in expression of individual genes or gene groups in the assay were observed between the two groups. In univariable analysis, PSA, biopsy GS and NCCN risk group were associated with BCR and AP, but race was not. The associations between GPS and clinical outcomes were similarly strong and statistically significant in both AA and CA men - BCR HR/20 GPS units = 3.0 (95% CI: 2.0-4.3) for CA vs. 3.5 (95% CI: 1.0-11.7) for AA; AP OR/20 units = 4.0 (95% CI: 2.6-6.6) for CA vs. 2.9 (95% CI: 1.2-7.6) for AA (p < 0.05 for all). Conclusions: In this cohort of patients treated in a health care system with equal access, clinical outcomes and the tumor biology measured by GPS were similar between AA and CA patients. GPS is a significant predictor of BCR and AP in men treated with RP for localized PCa in both AA and CA men.

Abstract Background The relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectories and myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear in people with diabetes or prediabetes. We aimed to identify common eGFR trajectories in people with diabetes or prediabetes and to examine their association with MI risk. Methods The data of this analysis was derived from the Kailuan study, which was a prospective community-based cohort study. The eGFR trajectories of 24,723 participants from year 2006 to 2012 were generated by latent mixture modeling. Incident cases of MI occurred during 2012 to 2017, confirmed by review of medical records. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the subsequent risk of MI of different eGFR trajectories. Results We identified 5 distinct eGFR trajectories, and named them as low-stable (9.4%), moderate-stable (31.4%), moderate-increasing (29.5%), high-decreasing (13.9%) and high-stable (15.8%) according to their range and pattern. During a mean follow-up of 4.61 years, there were a total of 235 incident MI. Although, the high-decreasing group had similar eGFR levels with the moderate-stable group at last exposure period, the risk was much higher (adjusted HR, 3.43; 95%CI, 1.56–7.54 versus adjusted HR, 2.82; 95%CI, 1.34–5.95). Notably, the moderate-increasing group had reached to the normal range, still had a significantly increased risk (adjusted HR, 2.55; 95%CI, 1.21–5.39). Conclusions eGFR trajectories were associated with MI risk in people with diabetes or prediabetes. Emphasis should be placed on early and long-term detection and control of eGFR decreases to further reduce MI risk.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of death and not a few of these patients are combined with acidemia. This study aimed to detect the association of acidemia with short-term mortality of AMI patients. A total of 972 AMI patients were selected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) III database for analysis. Propensity-score matching (PSM) was used to reduce the imbalance. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the mortality, and Cox-proportional hazards model was used to detect related factors associated with mortality. After PSM, a total of 345 non-acidemia patients and 345 matched acidemia patients were included. The non-acidemia patients had a significantly lower 30-day mortality (20.0% vs. 28.7%) and lower 90-day mortality (24.9% vs. 31.9%) than the acidemia patients ( P < 0.001 for all). The severe-acidemia patients (PH < 7.25) had the highest 30-day mortality (52.6%) and 90-day mortality (53.9%) than non-acidemia patients and mild-acidemia (7.25 ≤ PH < 7.35) patients ( P < 0.001). In Cox-proportional hazards model, acidemia was associated with improved 30-day mortality (HR = 1.518; 95%CI = 1.110-2.076, P = 0.009) and 90-day mortality (HR = 1.378; 95%CI = 1.034 -1.837, P = 0.029). These results suggest that severe acidemia is associated with improved 30-day mortality and 90-day mortality of AMI patients.

ABSTRACT Background Food-based dietary guidelines recommend replacement of whole-fat dairy products with low-fat variants based on data suggesting that diets high in saturated fat are associated with a higher risk of ischemic heart disease. However, the health effects of saturated fat may depend on the source. Objectives The aim was to investigate substitutions between different subgroups of dairy products and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Methods Data were from the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort and included 54,903 men and women aged 50–64 y at enrollment and without an MI diagnosis. Information about intake of dairy products was obtained by a semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire. Incident MI cases were identified through nationwide registries. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate associations between specified substitutions of dairy products and MI risk. Results During a median follow-up of 15.9 y, 3033 cases were identified. Whole-fat yogurt products in place of low-fat or whole-fat milk were associated with a lower risk of MI (HR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.80, 0.99 per 200 g/d replaced; and HR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.78, 0.98 per 200 g/d replaced, respectively). Substitution of 20 g/d of cheese for 200 g/d of low-fat or whole-fat milk was also associated with a lower risk of MI (HR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.92, 0.99; and HR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.89, 0.99, respectively). Conclusions Among middle-aged Danish men and women, intake of whole-fat yogurt products or cheese in place of milk, regardless of fat content, was associated with a lower risk of development of MI.
