To externally validate the prognostic impact of copeptin, either alone or integrated in risk stratification models, in pulmonary embolism (PE), we performed a analysis of 843 normotensive PE patients prospectively included in three European cohorts.Within the first 30 days, 21 patients (2.5%, 95% CI 1.5-3.8) had an adverse outcome and 12 (1.4%, 95% CI 0.7-2.5) died due to PE. Patients with copeptin ≥24 pmol·L had a 6.3-fold increased risk for an adverse outcome (95% CI 2.6-15.5, p<0.001) and a 7.6-fold increased risk for PE-related death (95% CI 2.3-25.6, p=0.001). Risk classification according to the 2014 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline algorithm identified 248 intermediate-high-risk patients (29.4%) with 5.6% (95% CI 3.1-9.3) at risk of adverse outcomes. A stepwise biomarker-based risk assessment strategy (based on high-sensitivity troponin T, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and copeptin) identified 123 intermediate-high-risk patients (14.6%) with 8.9% (95% CI 4.5-15.4) at risk of adverse outcomes. The identification of patients at higher risk was even better when copeptin was measured on top of the 2014 ESC algorithm in intermediate-high-risk patients (adverse outcome OR 11.1, 95% CI 4.6-27.1, p<0.001; and PE-related death OR 13.5, 95% CI 4.2-43.6, p<0.001; highest risk group all other risk groups). This identified 85 patients (10.1%) with 12.9% (95% CI 6.6-22.0) at risk of adverse outcomes and 8.2% (95% CI 3.4-16.2) at risk of PE-related deaths.Copeptin improves risk stratification of normotensive PE patients, especially when identifying patients with an increased risk of an adverse outcome.
为了对外验证 copeptin 在预测肺动脉栓塞(PE)中的预后影响,无论是单独使用还是整合到风险分层模型中,我们对前瞻性纳入的三个欧洲队列的 843 例血压正常的 PE 患者进行了分析。在最初的 30 天内,21 例(2.5%,95%CI1.5-3.8)患者出现不良结局,12 例(1.4%,95%CI0.7-2.5)死于 PE。copeptin≥24 pmol·L 的患者发生不良结局的风险增加 6.3 倍(95%CI2.6-15.5,p<0.001),PE 相关死亡的风险增加 7.6 倍(95%CI2.3-25.6,p=0.001)。根据 2014 年欧洲心脏病学会(ESC)指南算法进行的风险分类,确定了 248 例中高危患者(29.4%),其中 5.6%(95%CI3.1-9.3)存在不良结局风险。基于高敏肌钙蛋白 T、N 末端脑钠肽前体和 copeptin 的逐步生物标志物风险评估策略确定了 123 例中高危患者(14.6%),其中 8.9%(95%CI4.5-15.4)存在不良结局风险。当在中高危患者中测量 copeptin 时,甚至可以更好地识别更高风险的患者(不良结局的优势比 11.1,95%CI4.6-27.1,p<0.001;PE 相关死亡的优势比 13.5,95%CI4.2-43.6,p<0.001;最高风险组与所有其他风险组相比)。这确定了 85 例(10.1%)患者,其中 12.9%(95%CI6.6-22.0)存在不良结局风险,8.2%(95%CI3.4-16.2)存在 PE 相关死亡风险。copeptin 改善了血压正常的 PE 患者的风险分层,尤其是在识别不良结局风险增加的患者时。
