Pendahuluan. Pengaruh revaskularisasi terhadap kesintasan pasien non ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) masih belum jelas. Waktu revaskularisasi yang optimal pada pasien NSTEMI belum ditemukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh revaskularisasi terhadap kesintasan pasien NSTEMI, juga mengetahui pengaruh waktu revaskularisasi terhadap kesintasan pasien NSTEMI.Metode. Penelitian dengan disain kohort retrospektif dilakukan terhadap 300 pasien non ST elevation myocardial infarction yang dirawat di RSUPNCM pada kurun waktu Desember 2006-Maret 2011. Data klinis, laboratorium, elektrokardiografi (EKG), ekokardiografi, dan angiografi koroner dikumpulkan. Pasien yang telah terhitung enam bulan setelah onset kemudian dihubungi melalui telepon untuk melihat status mortalitasnya. Perbedaan kesintasan revaskularisasi ditampilkan dalam kurva Kaplan Meier dan perbedaan kesintasan diantara dua kelompok diuji dengan Log-rank test dengan batas kemaknaan <0,05, serta analisis multivariat dengan Cox proportional hazard regression untuk menghitung adjusted hazard ratio (dan interval kepercayaan 95%) antara pasien NSTEMI yang menjalani terapi medikamentosa dan revaskularisasi terhadap kelompok medikamentosa dengan memasukkan variabel perancu.Hasil. Terdapat perbedaan kesintasan yang bermakna pada uji log rank (p<0,001) antara pasien NSTEMI yang menjalani revaskularisasi dan terapi medikamentosa saja dengan crude HR 0,19 (IK95% 0,11-0,34) dan fully adjusted HR 0,33 (IK95% 0,17-0,64). Faktor perancu yang bermakna adalah penurunan fungsi ginjal dan syok kardiogenik. Pada analisis kesintasan berdasarkan waktu revaskularisasi tidak didapatkan perbedaan kesintasan antara pasien yang menjalani revaskularisasi < 1 minggu, 1-2 minggu, 2-3 minggu, 3-4 minggu, 4-5 minggu dengan p=0,853.Simpulan. Kesintasan enam bulan pasien NSTEMI yang menjalani terapi medikamentosa dan revaskularisasi lebih baik dibandingkan dengan terapi medikamentosa saja. Tidak terdapat perbedaan kesintasan enam bulan pasien NSTEMI berdasarkan waktu revaskularisasi.

The role of adjuvant therapy for malignant mixed müllerian tumors of the uterus has not been established. Our aim was to review our experience with sequential adjuvant therapy using cisplatin and ifosfamide chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgical staging. A retrospective study of 43 patients from 1995 to 2004 was undertaken. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to assess the effect of treatment on survival after adjustment for age and stage. Twenty-eight patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and 28 patients had adjuvant radiotherapy. Twenty-one patients underwent sequential adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Tumor recurrence occurred in 14 patients at a median duration of 10 months. The overall 2- and 5-year survival was 64% and 60%, respectively. The 2- and 5-year survival for stage I and II diseases was both 95%, while the 2-year survival for stage III and IV diseases was 25%. Patients who underwent sequential adjuvant therapy had an improved survival compared with patients who did not follow the protocol (P = 0.024). Our results with sequential adjuvant therapy are encouraging and justify future randomized trials.

Introduction. The data assessing the impact of beta blocker (BB) medication on survival in patients after heart transplantation (HTx) are scarce and unequivocal; therefore, we investigated this population. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed the HTx Zabrze Registry of 380 consecutive patients who survived the 30-day postoperative period. Results. The percentage of patients from the entire cohort taking BBs was as follows: atenolol 24 (17%), bisoprolol 67 (49%), carvedilol 11 (8%), metoprolol 28 (20%), and nebivolol 8 (6%). The patients receiving BBs were older (56.94 ± 14.68 years vs. 52.70 ± 15.35 years, p=0.008) and experienced an onset of HTx earlier in years (11.65 ± 7.04 vs. 7.24 ± 5.78 p≤0.001). They also had higher hematocrit (0.40 ± 0.05 vs. 0.39 ± 0.05, p=0.022) and red blood cells (4.63 (106/μl) ± 0.71 vs. 4.45 (106/μl) ± 0.68, p=0.015). Survival according to BB medication did not differ among the groups (p=0.655) (log-rank test). Univariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that the following parameters were associated with unfavorable diagnosis: serum concentration of albumin (g/l) HR: 0.87, 95% CI (0.81–0.94), p=0.0004; fibrinogen (mg/dl) HR: 1.006, 95% CI (1.002–1.008), p=0.0017; and C-reactive protein (mg/l) HR: 1.014, 95% CI (1.004–1.023), p=0.0044. Conclusions. The use of BBs in our cohort of patients after HTx was not associated with survival benefits.

Aim: Although, the effectiveness of metformin in diabetes treatment is well established, its preventive effect in the development of diabetes is still unclear in real world. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of metformin therapy as a single preventive agent in patients with prediabetes in a cohort study (IDPS). Study Design: In this prospective observational study. Place and Duration of Study: Isfahan Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. Methodology: We included 410 patients with prediabetes (168 metformin user, 242 non-users), who participated in IDPS. To determine the association between metformin use and incidence of type 2 diabetes, Cox proportional hazard method, Kaplan-Meier and log Rank test were used. Results: In fully adjusted model for all confounders, significant hazard ratio (HR) for staying prediabetes rather than returning to normal was detected in male group of metformin non-user (HR: 2·41 [95% CI 1.01-5.79]; P<0·05) and those metformin non-user who had both Impaired Fasting Glucose and Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IFG & IGT) (HR: 2.13 [95% CI 1.05-4.34]; P=0·04).  There was no significant difference in terms of developing diabetes risk between metformin users and non-users. Conclusion: This study evidenced that males and patients with IFG & IGT who had not used metformin are at higher risk to staying prediabetes than returning to normal.

Abstract Abstract 3797 Background: Since the time of initial proposal of the MD Anderson Prognostic Score (MDAPS) in 2000, there has been substantial development in diagnosis and treatment for patients (pts) with CMML. MDAPS did not incorporate cytogenetic abnormalities, which is one of the most important factors of prognostication in other myeloid malignancies. Therefore, we analyzed a large cohort of patients with CMML and developed new prognostic scoring system that also incorporates cytogenetic abnormalities (named MDAPS-R). Methods: From 2003 and 2012, we identified 358 pts with diagnosis of CMML, using standards strictly defined by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Potential prognostic factors were identified by log-rank test. Of those, independent prognostic factors were extracted after Cox proportional hazard regression. Based on the relative strength of hazard ratio (HR), MDAPS-R was developed and was verified by log-rank test. Result: Median age of the analyzed group was 68 years (range:23–89);113 (32%) pts were female. Two hundred twenty one (62%) pts were classified as CMML-1 and 104 (29%) were CMML-2 (unknown in 33 pts). Thirty nine (11%) pts had prior exposure to chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Mean (± SE) white blood cell count (WBC) was 24.5 ± 1.5 (x103/μL), hemoglobin (Hb) was 10.8 ± 0.1(g/dL), platelet count (Plt) was 132 ± 7.0 (x103/μL) and bone marrow blast count (BMBL) was 6.9 ± 0.3 (%), respectively. Cytogenetics was diploid in 224 (63%) pts. Trisomy 8 was detected in 14 (4%) pts, del 20q in 12 (3.4%), -Y in 13 (3.6%), del 7q/-7 in 25 (7%), and del 5q/-5 in 10 (2.8%) pts, respectively. Complex cytogenetic abnormality was detected in 16 (4.5%) pts. Two hundred eighty (78%) pts had RAS mutation analysis and 49 (18%) had NRAS mutation while 16 (5.7%) had KRAS mutation. FLT3 alteration was tested in 297 pts (83%):3 (1%) had D835 mutation while 10 (3.4%) had ITD. JAK2 mutation was tested in 161 (45%) pts of which 19 (12%) had V617F mutation. Less commonly occurring mutations included: NPM1 (5/88 tested), c-kit (3/156), CEBPA (6/83), IDH1 (1/59), IDH2 (3/58), and DNMT3a (1/4). During the median follow up duration of 15 months (range; 1–145), 53 (15%) pts transformed to acute leukemia and 182 (51%) pts died. Median transformation free survival (TFS) and overall survival (OS) of the analyzed group was 24.9 months (range; 1–145) and 26.8 months (range; 1–145), respectively. Log-rank test identified significant covariates in association with OS that include: BMBL (<10 vs. ≥10; P = 0.024), WBC (≤10 vs. >10; P = 0.01), Hb (<12 vs. ≥12; P < 0.001), CMML subtype (CMML-1 vs. 2; P = 0.007), prior exposure to chemo and/or radiation (Yes vs. No; P < 0.001), cytogenetics (diploid vs. complex or del7q/-7 vs. others; P < 0.001), serum β2 microglobulin (β2MG) (≤4.0 vs >4.0; P < 0.001), serum LDH (≤700 vs. >700; P < 0.001), peripheral absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) (≤2.5 vs. >2.5; P < 0.001), and peripheral absolute monocyte count (≤4.0 vs. >4.0; P = 0.012). None of the molecular mutations had impact on OS. After being fitted into Cox proportional hazard regression, following covariates remained independently significant: BMBL ≥10 % (vs. <10; HR = 1.6), Hb < 12 g/dL (vs. ≥12; HR = 1.9), LDH > 700 IU/L (vs. ≤700; HR = 1.5), ALC > 2.5 × 103/μL (vs. <2.5; HR = 1.7), β2MG > 4.0 mg/L (vs. ≤ 4.0; HR = 1.6), and complex cytogenetics or del 7q/-7 (vs. diploid; HR = 2.3 and others vs. diploid; HR = 1.5). We developed MDAPS-R based on relative strength of HR in each of these above factors (1 point assigned to each of the following: BM BL '10 %, Hb<12 g/dL, LDH 700 IU/L, ALC .2.5 × 103/μL, and β2MG > 4.0 mg/L; 0 points for diploid cytogenetics, 2 points for −7/del 7q or complex cytogenetics, and 1 point for all other abnormal karyotype). Among 358 pts, 282 (79%) were evaluable for analysis via MDAPS-R. MDAPS-R stratified pts into 4 distinct prognostic groups: score 0–1 = low risk (N = 70, median OS 56 months), 2–3 = intermediate-1 risk (N = 133, median OS 28 months), 4–5 = intermediate-2 risk (N = 68, median OS 18 months), and 6–7 = high risk (N = 11, median OS 7.5 months) (P < 0.001, Figure 1A). MDAPS-R also predicted TFS in the same cohort (median TFS: low = 54, int-1 = 26, int-2 = 15, and high = 7 months, P < 0.001, Figure 1B). Conclusion: We propose a refined version of MDAPS (MDAPS-R) specifically for pts with CMML that incorporates cytogenetic abnormalities. This model may help risk-stratified decision making in CMML pts. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Pendahuluan. Hipoalbuminemia merupakan salah satu penanda risiko mortalitas, tetapi belum banyak yang mempertimbangkan faktor waktu (seberapa cepat terjadinya mortalitas). Penelitian ini mengevaluasi pengaruh hipoalbuminemia terhadap kecepatan terjadinya mortalitas pada pasien usia lanjut dengan pneumonia komunitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi hipoalbuminemia dan pengaruhnya terhadap kesintasan pasien usia lanjut yang dirawat dengan pneumonia komunitas.Metode. Penelitian dengan disain kohort retrospektif dilakukan terhadap 142 pasien usia lanjut dengan pneumonia komunitas yang dirawat di RSCM pada kurun waktu Januari-Oktober 2010. Data klinis dan laboratoris diambil dalam 24 jam pertama kedatangan (data sekunder) dan kemudian diikuti dalam 30 hari untuk melihat status mortalitasnya. Perbedaan kesintasan hipoalbuminemia ditampilkan dalam kurva Kaplan Meier dan perbedaan kesintasan diantara dua atau lebih kelompok akan diuji dengan Log-rank test, dengan batas kemaknaan <0.05, serta analisis multivariat dengan Cox’s proportional hazard regression untuk menghitung adjusted hazard ratio (dan interval kepercayaan 95%-nya) antara pasien usila dengan pneumonia yang mengalami hipoalbuminemia terhadap yang normoalbuminemia dengan koreksi terhadap variabel-variabel perancu.Hasil. Prevalensi hipoalbuminemia pada pasien usila dengan pneumonia komunitas sebesar 71,1% (IK95% 0,64-0,78). Rerata kesintasan pada kelompok dengan kadar albumin normal adalah 27 hari (IK95% 24,35-30,98), sedangkan pada kelompok albumin 2,5-3,4 g/dL rerata kesintasannya adalah 22 hari (IK95% 19,66-25,13) dan pada kelompok albumin kurang dari 2,5 g/dL rerata kesintasannya adalah 19 hari (IK95% 13,07-26,23). Crude hazard ratio (HR) pasien dengan kadar albumin antara 2,5-3,4 g/dL adalah 4,49 (IK95% 1,05-19,20) dan pada pasien dengan kadar albumin kurang dari 2,5 g/dL adalah 7,26 (IK95% 1,46-36,09) bila dibandingkan dengan pasien dengan kadar albumin normal (≥3,5 g/dL). Setelah penambahan variabel perancu, didapatkan fully adjusted hazard ratio sebesar 3,81 (IK95% 0,86-16,95) untuk kelompok albumin antara 2,5-3,4 g/dL dan 11,09 (IK95% 1,79-68,65) untuk kelompok albumin kurang dari 2,5 g/dL.Simpulan. Prevalensi hipoalbuminemia pada usia lanjut dengan pneumonia komunitas adalah 71,1%. Terdapat perbedaan kesintasan 30 hari pasien pneumonia usia lanjut yang mengalami hipoalbuminemia dibanding dengan yang normoalbuminemia (≥3,5 g/dL). Kesintasan pada pasien dengan keadaan hipoalbuminemia yang berat lebih buruk dibandingkan pada keadaan hipoalbuminemia ringan.

Introduction: The outcomes of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with prior coronary bypass graft (CABG) surgery have received limited study. Methods: We compared the clinical and procedural characteristics and outcomes of STEMI patients with and without prior CABG surgery in a contemporary STEMI registry of consecutive STEMI patients with STEMI or new left bundle-branch block within 24 hours of symptom onset presenting between March 2003 and April 2020. Morality and major cardiac adverse events (MACE: death, MI or stroke) were the primary outcomes of the study. Survival curves are depicted using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with log-rank test. Results: Of the 6,311 patients included in the analyses, 6.9% had history of prior CABG. Mean age was 63.4 ± 13.9 years and most of the patients were men (71%), 21% had prior MI and 19% had diabetes mellitus. Prior CABG patients were older (70.4±11.7 vs. 62.9±13.9 years, p<0.001) and more likely to have diabetes (39% vs. 18%, p<0.001), prior MI (68% vs. 18%, p<0.001) and cardiogenic shock at presentation (14% vs. 9%, p=0.001) compared with patients without CABG. Median door to balloon time (69 [52, 88] vs. 55 [41, 79] min, p<0.001) as well as length of hospital stay (3 [2, 5] vs. 3 [2, 4] days, p=0.032) were longer in prior CABG patients. Survival evaluated by the Kaplan Meier method at 30 days, 1 year, and 5 years were significantly lower in patients with prior CABG (p<0.001, Figure). Landmark survival analyses, with landmark time of hospital discharge, were similar at 30 days (p=0.158) but showed lower survival rates at 1 year and 5 years. MACE occurred with similar incidence at 30 days follow up, but were more common at 1 year follow up. Outcomes were similar to saphenous vein graft and native coronary culprits. Conclusions: Patients with STEMI and previous CABG represent a higher risk cohort with worse in-hospital and long-term outcomes compared to those without previous CABG.

Background:The available biosimilars of etanercept are as effective and well tolerated as their bio originator molecule in the naive treatment of chronic autoimmune arthritis. More data about the switching from the bio originator are needed.Objectives:To compare the clinical outcomes of the treatment with etanercept biosimilars (SB4 and GP2015) naïve and after the switch from their corresponding originator in patients affected by autoimmune arthritis in a real life settingMethods:We retrospectively analyzed the baseline characteristics and the retention rate in a cohort of patients who received at least a course of etanercept (originator or biosimilar) in our Rheumatology Units from January 2000 to January 2020. We stratified the study population according to biosimilar use. Descriptive data are presented by medians (interquartile range [IQR]) for continuous data or as numbers (percentages) for categorical data. Drug survival distribution curves were computed by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by a stratified log-rank test. A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis stratified by indication, drug, age, disease duration, sex, treatment line, biosimilar use and prescription year was performed. P values≤0.05 were considered statistically significant.Results:477 patients (65% female, median age 56 [46-75] years, median disease duration 97 [40.25-178.75] months) treated with etanercept were included in the analysis. 257 (53.9%) were affect by rheumatoid arthritis, 139 (29.1%) by psoriatic arthritis, and 81 (17%) by axial spondylarthritis. 298 (62.5%) were treated with etanercept originator, 97 (20.3%) with SB4, and 82 (17.2%) with GP2015. Among the biosimilars 90/179 (50.3%) patients were naïve to etanercept treatment. Among the 89 switchers we observed 8 treatment discontinuations: one due to surgical infection complication, three due to disease flare, two due to subjective worsening and one due to remission. The overall 6- and 12-month retentions rate were 92.8% and 80.2%. The 6- and 12-month retention rate for etanercept, SB4 and GP2015 were 92.7%, 93.4% and 90.2%, and 82%, 74.5% and 88.1% respectively, without significant differences among the three groups (p=0.374). Patients switching from originator to biosimilars showed and overall higher treatment survival when compared to naive (12-month retention rate 81.2% vs 70.8%, p=0.036). The Cox proportional hazard regression analysis highlighted that the only predictor significantly associated with an overall higher risk of treatment discontinuation was the year of prescription (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.13; p<0.0001).Conclusion:In our retrospective study etanercept originator and its biosimilars (SB4 and GP2015) showed the same effectiveness. Patients switching from originator to biosimilar showed an significant higher retention rate when compared to naive. The only predictor of treatment discontinuation highlighted by the Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was the year of treatment prescription.Disclosure of Interests:Francesco Girelli: None declared, Alarico Ariani: None declared, Marco Bruschi: None declared, Andrea Becciolini Speakers bureau: Sanofi-Genzyme, UCB and AbbVie, Lucia Gardelli: None declared, Maurizio Nizzoli: None declared

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Inflammation appears to be at the biological core of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction, and the occurrence of AVF dysfunction is related to high death and disability in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Despite several studies on the correlations between AVF dysfunction and inflammatory indicators, how AVF dysfunction is related to the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) is much unclear. We hypothesize that preoperative MLR is associated with AVF dysfunction in Chinese HD patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this single-center retrospective cohort study, totally 769 adult HD patients with a new AVF created between 2011 and 2019 were included. Association of preoperative MLR with AVF dysfunction (thrombosis or decrease of normal vessel diameter by &#x3e;50%, requiring either surgical revision or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) was assessed by multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The patients were aged 55.8 ± 12.2 years and were mostly males (55%). During the average 32-month follow-up (maximum 119 months), 223 (29.0%) patients had permanent vascular access dysfunction. In adjusted multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analyses, the risk of AVF dysfunction was 4.32 times higher with 1 unit increase in MLR (hazard ratio [HR]: 5.32; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.1–9.11). Compared with patients with MLR &#x3c;0.28, HRs associated with an MLR of 0.28–0.41 and ≥0.41 are 1.54 (95% CI: 1.02–2.32) and 3.17 (2.18–4.62), respectively. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> A higher preoperative MLR is independently connected with a severer risk of AVF dysfunction in HD patients. Its clinical value should be determined in the future.
