There are limited contemporary data on the early use of clopidogrel or glycoprotein (Gp) IIb/IIIa inhibitors, alone versus combination therapies, in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).
This study included 5,806 Canadian NSTE-ACS patients with elevated cardiac biomarker and/or ST deviation on presentation in the prospective GRACE between 2003-2007. We stratified the study population according to the management strategy (non-invasive vs invasive) and into low-(GRACE risk score <or=108), intermediate- (109-140), and high-risk groups (>or=141).
Overall, 3,893 patients (67.1%) received early (<or=24 hours of admission) antiplatelet therapy; the rates of use were 76%, 73%, and 57% in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, respectively (P for trend < .001). Only 54% of the conservatively managed patients and 12% of the invasively managed patients received early clopidogrel and GpIIb/IIIa inhibitors, respectively. High-risk patients were less likely (adjusted odds ratio = 0.48, 95% CI 0.39-0.59, P < .001) to receive early clopidogrel or GpIIb/IIIa inhibitors, whereas in-hospital catheterization was an independent positive predictor (adjusted odds ratio = 2.02, 95% CI 1.74-2.34, P < .001) of use.
In this contemporary NSTE-ACS population, both clopidogrel and GpIIb/IIIa inhibitors were targeted toward patients treated with an invasive strategy but paradoxically toward the lower-risk group. In particular, clopidogrel appeared to be underused among conservatively managed patients despite its proven efficacy, whereas GpIIb/IIIa inhibitors were administered to only a minority of the high-risk patients with elevated cardiac biomarkers. Our findings emphasize the ongoing need to promote the optimal use of evidence-based antiplatelet therapies among high-risk patients with NSTE-ACS.
目前关于非 ST 段抬高型急性冠状动脉综合征(NSTE-ACS)患者早期使用氯吡格雷或糖蛋白(GP)IIb/IIIa 抑制剂的当代数据有限,单独使用或联合使用这两种药物的疗效也存在差异。
这项研究纳入了 5806 例于 2003 年至 2007 年期间在前瞻性 GRACE 研究中因心脏生物标志物升高和/或 ST 段偏移而就诊的加拿大 NSTE-ACS 患者。我们根据管理策略(非侵入性与侵入性)和低危(GRACE 风险评分≤108)、中危(109-140)和高危(>141)将研究人群进行分层。
总体而言,3893 例患者(67.1%)在入院后 24 小时内接受了早期(<24 小时)抗血小板治疗;低危、中危和高危组的使用比例分别为 76%、73%和 57%(趋势 P<.001)。仅 54%的保守治疗患者和 12%的侵入性治疗患者接受了早期氯吡格雷和 GPIIb/IIIa 抑制剂治疗。高危患者接受早期氯吡格雷或 GPIIb/IIIa 抑制剂治疗的可能性较小(校正比值比=0.48,95%CI 0.39-0.59,P<.001),而院内导管插入术是其独立的阳性预测因子(校正比值比=2.02,95%CI 1.74-2.34,P<.001)。
在这个当代 NSTE-ACS 人群中,氯吡格雷和 GPIIb/IIIa 抑制剂都针对接受侵入性治疗策略的患者使用,但却反常地针对风险较低的患者。特别是,尽管氯吡格雷已被证明有效,但在保守治疗的患者中其使用似乎不足,而高风险、心脏标志物升高的患者中仅少数接受了 GPIIb/IIIa 抑制剂治疗。我们的研究结果强调了在 NSTE-ACS 高危患者中,需要继续推广使用基于证据的抗血小板治疗。
