Background and Aims: Fatty liver disease (FLD) has emerged as a major public issue in China. We aim to investigate prevalence, clinical features, and in-hospital outcome of FLD in acute aortic dissection (AAD) patients.Methods: Data of 379 AAD patients from 2017 to 2019 at Renmin hospital of Wuhan University was retrospectively collected and divided according to age and FLD absence. Propensity score matching was used for minimal confounding. We compared their physical environmental parameter of onset, clinical features, and in-hospital outcome.Results: The mean age was 52.0 ± 11.5 years in type A and 55.1 ± 11.4 in type B. 25.0% of type A and 19.2% of type B AAD patients had FLD. Logistic regression indicated a negative association between FLD and age, both in type A [unadjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.958 (per 1 year), 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.930–0.988, p = 0.0064] and type B [unadjusted OR 0.943 (per 1 year), 95% CI 0.910–0.978, p = 0.0013]. After matching, type A with FLD had onset with a lower air quality index (AQI) of 68.5 [interquartile range (IQR) 46.0–90.0] and a lower Pm 2.5 concentration of 36.0 μg/m3 (IQR 23.0–56.0) compared with non-FLD group. In Kaplan-Meier estimation, FLD was associated with higher risk of in-hospital mortality in type B AAD (p = 0.0297).Conclusion: The prevalence of FLD in AAD decrease with age, both in type A and type B AAD. Type A AAD patients with FLD had onset with better air quality parameters compared with non-FLD group. FLD was associated with higher risk of in-hospital mortality in type B AAD.

Abstract Background Despite recent advances in diagnosis and management, the mortality of acute aortic dissection (AAD) remains high. Purpose This study aims to develop quality indicators (QIs) for the management of AAD, and to evaluate the associations between QIs and outcomes of AAD in a Japanese nationwide administrative database. Methods A total of 18,348 patients suffered from AAD (Type A: 10,131, Type B: 8,217) in the Japanese Registry of All Cardiac and Vascular Diseases database between 2012 and 2015 were studied. A systematic review was performed to establish initial index items for QIs. Evaluation was performed through the expert consensus meeting using a Delphi method. Associations between developed QIs and the mortality were determined by multivariate mixed logistic regression analyses. Results A total of nine QIs (five structural and four processatic) were developed. Achievements of developed QIs (High: 7–9, Middle: 4–6, Low: 0–3) were significantly associated with lower in-hospital mortality even after adjustment for covariates in both type A (Middle: odds ratio [OR], 0.257; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.211–0.312; P<0.001; High: OR, 0.064; 95% CI, 0.047–0.086; P<0.001 vs. Low) and type B (Middle: OR, 0.447; 95% CI, 0.338–0.590; P<0.001; High: OR, 0.128; 95% CI, 0.077–0.215; P<0.001 vs. Low). Additionally, achievements of structural and processatic QIs were consistently associated with reduced in-hospital mortality. QIs and in-hospital mortality Conclusions Developed QIs for AAD management were significantly associated with lower in-hospital mortality. Evaluation of each hospital's management with QIs could be helpful to equalize quality of treatment and to fill the evidence-to-practice gaps in the real-world treatment.

Abstract Introduction Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is one of the most fatal cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of AAD is reported to be low. The clinical data of AAD from representative cardiovascular centers are not enough to show the whole range of clinical feature of AAD. We have to know the exact prevalence and clinical pictures of AAD under the new system, the Tokyo AAD Super-Network System (TAAD-SNS), for strategy of emergency transport and treatment of AAD which would cover the entire metropolitan area of Tokyo. TAAD-SNS started in 2011, and after slight modification, the new system of AAD re-started in 2013. The aim of this study is to elucidate the whole range of clinical characteristics and recent trends of treatment of AAD. Methods Out of 73 hospitals included in Tokyo CCU Network system, 41 hospitals are chosen for TAAD-SNS. These hospitals provide around-the-clock surgery. In this system, the availability of surgical division is monitored in real time. All of the patients suspected of AAD are transferred directly or from primary care hospital to the hospitals of TAAD-SNS. Results After exclusion of 237 patients with cardiopulmonary arrest on arrival, 4877 consecutive patients (2923 male, mean age of 69±14 y/o) were admitted to the hospitals with diagnosis of AAD from 2013 to 2016. Prevalence of AAD in Tokyo was about 10 patients per 100,000 populations in every year. After exclusion of 37 patients undetermined into type A or B, 4840 patients (2694 with type A and 2146 with type B) were analyzed. Among the type A patients, 1752 (65%) were classified into type of patent false lumen (classic-type), 721 (27%) of closed false lumen (intramural hematoma: IMH-type), and 221 (8%) were undetermined. Among the type B, 880 (41%) were classified into classic-type, 1129 (53%) of IMH-type, and 137 (6%) were undetermined. Both among type A and B, mean ages were younger in classic-type than in IMH-type (type A: 66±14 vs. 73±12 y/o, p<0.05; type B: 64±15 vs. 72±12 y/o, p<0.05). Prevalence of male population and risk factor of hypertension was higher in type B than in type A both among classic-type and IMH-type. Systolic blood pressure at the emergency room was lower in type A than in type B among both classic-type and IMH-type (classic-type: 124±34 vs. 161±38 mmHg, IMH-type: 130±51 vs. 163±56 mmHg). In-hospital mortality of surgical treatment for type A classic-type and type A IMH-type, conservative strategy for type B classic-type and type B IMH-type was 9.6%, 4.2%, 3.1% and 1.7%, respectively. Stentgraft implantation for type B AAD started and shows a favorable in-hospital mortality compared to the operative treatment (Stentgraft vs. surgery in type B classic-type: 7.8% vs. 6.5%, in type B IMH-type: 10.7% vs. 11.8%, respectively). Conclusion Our study showed that prevalence of AAD was 2–3 times higher than previous reports. We should consider to choose the treatment strategy according to the type of AAD, A or B, classic-type or IMH-type. Acknowledgement/Funding Tokyo Metropolitan government

Abstract. Background: We investigated the prevalence of recurrent pain and its relationship with in-hospital mortality in acute aortic dissection (AAD). Patients and methods: Between 2011 and 2016, 234 AAD patients were selected. Recurrent pain was defined as a mean of VAS > 3, within 48 hours following hospital admission or before emergency operation. Patients with and without recurrent pain were divided into group I and group II, respectively into type A AAD and type B AAD patients. Our primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Results: The incidence of recurrent pain was 24.4 % in AAD patients. Incidence of recurrent pain was higher in type A AAD patients than type B AAD patients (48.9 vs. 9.6 %). Overall in-hospital mortality was 25.6 %. Type A AAD had a higher in-hospital mortality than type B AAD patients (47.7 vs. 12.3 %). Group I had significantly higher in-hospital mortality than group II (type A: 79.1 vs. 17.8 %; type B: 57.1 vs. 7.6 %, all P < 0.001), as was the case with medical managed patients (type A: 72.1 vs. 13.3 %; type B: 35.7 vs. 2.3 %, all P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that use of one drug alone and waist pain were predictive factors for recurrent pain in type A AAD and type A AAD patients, respectively (OR 3.686, 95 % CI: 1.103~12.316, P = 0.034 and OR 14.010, 95 % CI: 2.481~79.103, P = 0.003). Recurrent pains were the risk factors (type A: OR 11.096, 95 % CI: 3.057~40.280, P < 0.001; type B: OR 14.412, 95 % CI: 3.662~56.723, P < 0.001), while invasive interventions were protective (type A: OR 0.133, 95 % CI: 0.035~0.507, P < 0.001; type B: OR 0.334, 95 % CI: 0.120~0.929, P = 0.036) for in-hospital mortality in AAD patients. Conclusions: Approximately one-fourth of AAD patients presented with recurrent pains, which might increase in-hospital mortality. Thus, interventional strategies at early stages are important.

Abstract OBJECTIVES The mortality of acute aortic dissection (AAD) remains high, and evidence-to-practice gaps exist in real-world treatment. We explored the first quality indicators (QIs) for AAD management and evaluated the associations between the achievement of these QIs and the outcome in a nationwide administrative database. METHODS A systematic search was performed to establish initial index items for QIs. An evaluation was performed through an expert consensus meeting using the Delphi method. We studied 18 348 patients who had AAD (type A: 10 131; type B: 8217) in the Japanese Registry of All Cardiac and Vascular Diseases database between April 2012 and May 2015. The associations between the achievement of QIs [categorized into tertiles (low, middle and high)] and in-hospital mortality were determined by multivariable mixed logistic regression analyses. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION We developed a total of 9 QIs (5 structural and 4 process). Lower achievement rates of QIs were significantly associated with higher in-hospital mortality in both types [type A = middle: odds ratio (OR) 4.03; 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.301–4.90; P &lt; 0.001; low: OR 15.68; 95% CI 11.67–21.06; P &lt; 0.001 vs high; type B = middle: OR 3.48; 95% CI 2.19–5.53; P &lt; 0.001; low: OR 7.79; 95% CI 4.65–13.06; P &lt; 0.001 vs high]. Various sensitivity analyses showed consistent results. High achievement rates of QIs were significantly associated with reduced in-hospital mortality. Evaluating each hospital’s management using QIs would help to equalize treatment quality and demonstrate the evidence-to-practice gaps in real-world treatments for AAD.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features, risk factors, and prognostic significance of different Stanford types of acute aortic dissection (AAD). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and prognostic predictors in 105 patients with AAD (37 with Stanford type A and 68 with Stanford type B) at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital and Tianjin 4th Central Hospital from January 2014 to November 2015. Results Patients with Marfan syndrome and bicuspid aortic valve constituted 24.3% and 8.1%, respectively, of patients with type A AAD; these proportions were significantly higher than those of patients with type B AAD (7.4% and 0.0%, respectively). The proportion of iatrogenic causes of type A AAD (8.1%) was significantly higher than that of type B AAD (0.0%). Computed tomography angiography showed that the proportion of involvement of the aortic arch and pericardial effusion (86.5% and 18.9%, respectively) in patients with type A AAD were higher than those in patients with type B AAD (23.5% and 5.9%, respectively). Endovascular treatment was performed in a higher proportion of patients with type B than A AAD (70.6% vs. 5.4%, respectively). Conclusion Systolic blood pressure, pericardial effusion, periaortic hematoma, conservative treatment, and open surgery were independent predictors of increased mortality in patients with AAD.

Abstract Background Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening medical condition with high morbidity and mortality. The association between female sex and poorer outcomes following surgery for AAD type A has been reported; however, the sex-related differences in clinical features and in-hospital outcomes of AAD type B remain to be elucidated. Methods We studied a total of 1877 patients with AAD type B who were enrolled in the Tokyo Acute Aortic Super-network from January 2013 to December 2016. Clinical features and in-hospital outcomes were compared between sexes. Independent predictors of in-hospital mortality were assessed using a multivariable analysis. Results The mean age of the patients was 69±13 years and 549 (29%) were females. Female patients were older than males (74±13 years vs 67±13 years; p&lt;0.001). Females had lower systolic blood pressure on admission (158±37 mmHg vs 164±38 mmHg; p=0.007) and were more likely to have altered consciousness level at presentation (8.7% vs 3.9%; p&lt;0.001), intramural hematoma (IMH)-type AAD (62.7% vs 53.6%; p&lt;0.001), and DeBakey type IIIa (28.4% vs 21.8%; p=0.002) compared with males. Females were treated with medical therapy alone more frequently (90.3% vs 85.9%; p=0.009) and had a higher in-hospital mortality rate (5.3% vs 2.6%; p=0.036). A multivariable analysis revealed that age [per year, odds ratio (OR) 1.06; 95% CI 1.04–1.09; p&lt;0.001], altered consciousness level (OR 3.28; 95% CI 1.54–6.98; p=0.002), shock/hypotension (OR 14.0; 95% CI 5.92–33.1; p&lt;0.001), classic-type AAD (OR 2.54; 95% CI 1.36–4.73; p=0.003), and medical therapy alone (OR 0.28; 95% CI 0.15–0.54; p&lt;0.001) were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality, whereas female sex was not predictive of in-hospital mortality (OR 1.64; 95% CI 0.91–2.96; p=0.10). Conclusion In AAD type B, females were older and had altered consciousness level, IMH-type, and a less widespread dissection more frequently than males. The overall in-hospital mortality was higher in females; however, female sex was not associated with in-hospital mortality after multivariable adjustment.

Purpose: Type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) is an uncommon catastrophic cardiovascular disease with high pre-hospital mortality rate without timely and effectively treated. The aim of this study was to assess the value of serum platelet to hemoglobin (PHR) in predicting in-hospital mortality in type A AAD patients. Methods: A total of 183 type A AAD patients were included in this retrospective investigation from January 2017 to December 2019. Admission blood routine parameters were gathered and PHR was computed. The outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality within 30 days. Results The average levels of serum PHR were significant higher in survivor group than those in non-survivor group (1.14 ± 0.57 vs 0.87 ± 0.47, p = 0.006) and serum PHR was an independent factor associated with in-hospital mortality (hazard ratio (HR): 2.831; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.108–7.231; p = 0.030). ROC noted that 0.8723 was chosen as the ideal cutoff value with a sensitivity of 64.3% and specificity of 72.5%. In addition, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.693 (95% CI 0.599–0.787, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Admission serum PHR can be used as an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with type A AAD.

Background: Acute aortic dissection (AD) is one of the lethal cardiac diseases involving the aorta. Although pain is a typical symptom, stroke may not rarely occur with the occlusive dissection of aortic branches or hypotension under the condition of AD. We attempted to explores the clinical features, possible mechanisms and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) related to AD Method: Medical records of 278 consecutive patients with AD (165 with type A and 113 with type B dissection) over 11.5 years were retrospectively analyzed for clinical history, CT or MRI findings and outcome. AIS were categorized into early- or delayed-onset stroke. Early-onset stroke was defined as an AIS presented at admission, and delayed-onset stroke was an AIS which were developed during the two months after the first admission. Results: 26 (9.4%) patients experienced an ischemic stroke, which included 22 with type A and 4 with type B dissection. 8 patients (2.9%) including a case of TIA had an early-onset stroke, whereas delayed-onset stroke occurred in 18 patients (6.5%) postoperatively or under medical treatment. Early-onset stroke was all referable to the anterior circulation, predominantly right-sided (87.5%). One or more main branches of the aortic arch were involved in 6 out of 8 patients (75%) with early-onset stroke. Innominate artery was most frequently involved (75.0%). In contrast, delayed-onset stroke affected similarly bilateral carotid territories, and also included lesions in bilateral carotid, posterior-circulation and anterior/posterior-circulation territories. Among the 26 patients, 8 patients (30.8%) expired within 6 months of the disease onset (3 cases from hemispheric stroke with brain herniation, 2 cases from aortic rupture, 2 cases from sepsis with multiple organ failure and a case from mesentery ischemia and renal failure). Additionally, 9 patients (34.6%) remained functionally dependent six months later. Conclusion: AD not infrequently causes AIS with grave prognosis, especially in patients with type A dissection. The presumed mechanisms were aortic branch dissection causing luminal occlusion and emboli from thrombosed vascular lumen and hypotension under the condition of AD.
