C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammation biomarker that can be a predictor of adverse events in cardiovascular procedures. Its use in the assessment of long-term prognosis of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is still incipient.
To evaluate CRP as a prognostic marker in the first year after TAVI in aortic stenosis (AoS).
CRP was assessed on the first postoperative week in a retrospective cohort of patients with AoS. Pre- and post- CRP levels were correlated with mortality, and predictors of 1-year mortality were investigated. Multivariate Cox regression was performed to identify independent factors of 1-year mortality.
This study evaluated 130 patients who underwent TAVI, with median age of 83 years, and 49% of women. High pre-TAVI CRP (> 0.5 mg/dL) was observed in 34.5% of the cases. Peak CRP was 7.0 (5.3-12.1) mg/dL no quarto dia. The rate of 1-year mortality was 14.5% (n = 19), being greater in the groups with high pre-TAVI CRP (68.8% vs 29.1%; p = 0,004) and with peak CRP ≥ 10.0 mg/dL (64.7% vs 30.8%; p = 0,009). Independent predictors of mortality were acute renal failure (ARF) (hazard ratio [HR] = 7.43; 95% confidence interval [95%CI], 2.1-24.7; p = 0,001), high pre-TAVI CRP (HR 4.15; 95%CI, 1.3-12.9; p = 0.01), and large blood transfusion [HR 4,68; 1,3-16,7; p = 0.02].
High pre-TAVI CRP showed to be an independent predictor of 1-year mortality, as well as the presence of ARF and large blood transfusions.
C 反应蛋白(CRP)是一种炎症生物标志物,可预测心血管手术中的不良事件。其在经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)长期预后评估中的应用仍处于初期阶段。
评估 CRP 作为主动脉瓣狭窄(AS)患者 TAVI 后 1 年的预后标志物。
回顾性分析了一组 AS 患者的术后第 1 周 CRP 情况。比较了 CRP 水平与死亡率之间的相关性,并探讨了 1 年死亡率的预测因素。采用多变量 Cox 回归分析确定 1 年死亡率的独立因素。
本研究共评估了 130 例接受 TAVI 的患者,中位年龄为 83 岁,女性占 49%。术前 CRP 升高(>0.5mg/dL)者占 34.5%。术后第 4 天 CRP 峰值为 7.0(5.3-12.1)mg/dL。1 年死亡率为 14.5%(n=19),术前 CRP 升高组(68.8% vs 29.1%;p=0.004)和 CRP 峰值≥10.0mg/dL 组(64.7% vs 30.8%;p=0.009)死亡率更高。死亡率的独立预测因素为急性肾损伤(ARF)(危险比[HR] = 7.43;95%置信区间[95%CI],2.1-24.7;p=0.001)、术前 CRP 升高(HR 4.15;95%CI,1.3-12.9;p=0.01)和大量输血(HR 4.68;1.3-16.7;p=0.02)。
术前 CRP 升高是 1 年死亡率的独立预测因素,与 ARF 和大量输血有关。
