The elderly (≥75years) constitute a high-risk subset of patients who continue to have a poorer prognosis than non-elderly (<75years). Whether the effects of everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are independent of age has not been reported. We investigated the outcomes following primary PCI (PPCI) with bare-metal stent (BMS) or EES in elderly vs. non-elderly STEMI patients.
The EXAMINATION trial randomized 1498 STEMI patients to BMS or EES. The primary patient-oriented endpoint (POCE) was the combined of all-cause death, any-recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) and any-revascularization at 1-year. The secondary endpoint included the device-oriented combined (DOCE) of cardiac death, target-vessel MI and target-lesion revascularization. These endpoints and their components were compared between elderly and non-elderly.
Among patients enrolled in the trial, 245 (16.3%) were elderly, allocated to BMS (n=132) or EES (n=113), while the remaining 1253 (83.7%) were non-elderly, allocated to BMS (n=615) or EES (n=638). At 1-year, both the POCE and DOCE were observed more frequently in elderly vs. non-elderly group (24.5% vs. 10.5%, p<0.001 and 15.9% vs. 5.1%, p<0.001). Whereas in non-elderly, both POCE and DOCE were lower in EES vs. BMS (12.4% vs. 8.8%, p=0.03 and 6.7% vs. 3.6%, p=0.01), no differences were found in elderly, with a tendency for interaction between age and stent type for POCE (p=0.05). On multivariate analysis age ≥75 years was an independent predictor of POCE (HR 2.19 [95%CI 1.59-3.01], p<0.0001) and DOCE (HR 2.42 [95%CI 1.60-3.7], p<0.001) at 1-year.
In STEMI patients undergoing PPCI, advanced age (≥75 years) is associated with worse outcomes. The beneficial effects of EES over BMS tended to be age-dependent.
老年人(≥75岁)是一类高危患者亚组,其预后持续比非老年人(<75岁)差。依维莫司洗脱支架(EES)在ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)中的作用是否独立于年龄尚未见报道。我们调查了老年与非老年STEMI患者接受裸金属支架(BMS)或EES的直接经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PPCI)后的结局。
EXAMINATION试验将1498例STEMI患者随机分为BMS组或EES组。以患者为导向的主要终点(POCE)是1年时全因死亡、任何复发性心肌梗死(MI)和任何再血管化的联合终点。次要终点包括心脏死亡、靶血管MI和靶病变再血管化的器械导向联合终点(DOCE)。比较老年和非老年患者的这些终点及其组成部分。
在试验纳入的患者中,245例(16.3%)为老年人,分配至BMS组(n = 132)或EES组(n = 113),其余1253例(83.7%)为非老年人,分配至BMS组(n = 615)或EES组(n = 638)。1年时,老年组的POCE和DOCE发生率均高于非老年组(24.5%对10.5%,p<0.001;15.9%对5.1%,p<0.001)。在非老年人中,EES组的POCE和DOCE均低于BMS组(12.4%对8.8%,p = 0.03;6.7%对3.6%,p = 0.01),而在老年人中未发现差异,POCE存在年龄与支架类型之间的交互作用趋势(p = 0.05)。多因素分析显示,年龄≥75岁是1年时POCE(HR 2.19 [95%CI 1.59 - 3.01],p<0.0001)和DOCE(HR 2.42 [95%CI 1.60 - 3.7])的独立预测因素,p<0.001)。
在接受PPCI的STEMI患者中,高龄(≥75岁)与更差的结局相关。EES相对于BMS的有益作用往往与年龄有关。
