Determine the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events among adults with clinically evident CVD who meet the inclusion criteria for the FOURIER clinical trial on PCSK9 inhibition in a real-world database.
We analyzed data from 2072 African American and 2972 white REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study participants 45-85 years of age with clinically evident CVD. Study participants meeting the FOURIER inclusion criteria (one major or two minor cardiovascular risk factors, fasting LDL cholesterol ≥ 70 mg/dL or non-HDL cholesterol ≥ 100 mg/dL, triglycerides ≤ 400 mg/dL, and taking statin) were followed for CVD events (myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization, and CVD death) from baseline in 2003-2007 through 2014.
Overall, 771 (37.2%) African Americans and 1200 (40.4%) whites met the FOURIER inclusion criteria. The CVD event rate per 1000 person years was 60.6 (95% CI 53.6-67.6) among African Americans and 63.5 (95% CI 57.7-69.3) among whites. The risk for CVD events among adults meeting the FOURIER inclusion criteria was higher for those with a history of multiple cardiovascular events (hazard ratios among African Americans and whites 1.34 [95% CI 1.05-1.71] and 1.34 [1.10-1.63], respectively), a prior coronary revascularization (1.44 [1.13-1.84] and 1.23 [1.00-1.52], respectively), diabetes (1.38 [1.08-1.76] and 1.41 [1.15-1.72], respectively), reduced glomerular filtration rate (1.63 [1.26-2.11] and 1.29 [1.03-1.62], respectively), and albuminuria (1.77 [1.37-2.27] and 1.33 [1.07-1.65], respectively).
The CVD event rate is high among African Americans and whites meeting the FOURIER inclusion criteria. Characteristics associated with a higher CVD risk may inform the decision to initiate PCSK9 inhibition.
在一个真实世界的数据库中,确定符合 FOURIER 临床试验 PCSK9 抑制条件的有临床明显心血管疾病(CVD)的成年人发生心血管疾病(CVD)事件的风险。
我们分析了 2072 名年龄在 45-85 岁之间的非洲裔美国人和 2972 名白种人 REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke(REGARDS)研究参与者的数据,这些参与者有临床明显的 CVD。研究参与者符合 FOURIER 纳入标准(一个主要或两个次要心血管危险因素,空腹 LDL 胆固醇≥70mg/dL 或非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇≥100mg/dL,甘油三酯≤400mg/dL,且服用他汀类药物),从 2003-2007 年的基线开始,随访 CVD 事件(心肌梗死、中风、冠状动脉血运重建和 CVD 死亡)至 2014 年。
总体而言,771 名(37.2%)非洲裔美国人和 1200 名(40.4%)白人符合 FOURIER 纳入标准。非洲裔美国人的 CVD 事件发生率为每 1000 人年 60.6(95%可信区间 53.6-67.6),白种人发生率为 63.5(95%可信区间 57.7-69.3)。在符合 FOURIER 纳入标准的成年人中,有多次心血管事件史(非洲裔美国人和白种人的风险比分别为 1.34 [95%可信区间 1.05-1.71]和 1.34 [1.10-1.63])、既往冠状动脉血运重建(1.44 [1.13-1.84]和 1.23 [1.00-1.52])、糖尿病(1.38 [1.08-1.76]和 1.41 [1.15-1.72])、肾小球滤过率降低(1.63 [1.26-2.11]和 1.29 [1.03-1.62])和白蛋白尿(1.77 [1.37-2.27]和 1.33 [1.07-1.65])的成年人发生 CVD 事件的风险更高。
符合 FOURIER 纳入标准的非洲裔美国人和白种人 CVD 事件发生率较高。与更高 CVD 风险相关的特征可能有助于决定是否开始使用 PCSK9 抑制剂。
