The SYNTAX score affects clinical outcomes in early studies. However, the prognostic value of the SYNTAX Score for long-term outcomes and differences by SYNTAX score risk stratification in long-term prognosis between medical therapy and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) are not well known in the era of new generation drug-eluting stents and medication.
In this single-centre retrospective study, a total of 2364 patients with UAP from January 2014 to June 2017 at Beijing Friendship Hospital were enrolled. The primary endpoint was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including all-cause death, cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke at least 2 years after discharge.
In this study, 1695 patients had low SYNTAX scores ([Formula: see text]), 432 patients had medium SYNTAX scores (23-32), 237 patients had high SYNTAX scores (≥ 33), 1018 received medical therapy, and 1346 patients underwent PCI. Long-term MACEs occurred in 95 patients during the 3.38 ± 0.99-year follow-up. Compared to the medical therapy group, the PCI group showed lower MACEs and cardiac death in patients with high SYNTAX scores (7.4% vs. 16.7%, P = 0.048; 3.7% vs. 14.6%, P = 0.004) but no reduction in patients with low and medium SYNTAX scores. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that advanced age, diabetes mellitus, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), hs-CRP and high SYNTAX score were independent predictors for MACEs in the medical therapy group (P < 0.05), whereas chronic kidney disease (CKD) and LVEF were predictors of MACEs in the PCI group.
Compared to medical therapy, PCI could only significantly reduce long-term MACEs and cardiac death for patients with high SYNTAX scores but not for patients with low and medium SYNTAX scores. A high SYNTAX score could predict long-term MACEs for UAP patients in the medical therapy group but not in the PCI group.
SYNTAX 评分在早期研究中影响临床结局。然而,在新代药物洗脱支架和药物治疗时代,SYNTAX 评分对不稳定型心绞痛(UAP)患者长期预后的长期预后和经 SYNTAX 评分风险分层的经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)之间的差异的预后价值尚不清楚。
本研究为单中心回顾性研究,共纳入 2014 年 1 月至 2017 年 6 月在北京友谊医院就诊的 2364 例 UAP 患者。主要终点是复合主要不良心血管事件(MACEs),包括出院后至少 2 年内全因死亡、心脏死亡、非致死性心肌梗死和卒中等。
在这项研究中,1695 例患者 SYNTAX 评分较低([公式:见正文]),432 例患者 SYNTAX 评分中等(23-32),237 例患者 SYNTAX 评分较高(≥33),1018 例接受药物治疗,1346 例患者接受 PCI。在 3.38±0.99 年的随访中,95 例患者发生长期 MACEs。与药物治疗组相比,SYNTAX 评分较高的 PCI 组患者的 MACEs 和心脏死亡率较低(7.4%比 16.7%,P=0.048;3.7%比 14.6%,P=0.004),但在 SYNTAX 评分较低和中等的患者中没有降低。Cox 多变量回归分析显示,高龄、糖尿病、左心室射血分数(LVEF)、高敏 C 反应蛋白(hs-CRP)和高 SYNTAX 评分是药物治疗组 MACEs 的独立预测因子(P<0.05),而慢性肾脏病(CKD)和 LVEF 是 PCI 组 MACEs 的预测因子。
与药物治疗相比,PCI 仅能显著降低 SYNTAX 评分较高患者的长期 MACEs 和心脏死亡,但不能降低 SYNTAX 评分较低和中等患者的 MACEs。高 SYNTAX 评分可预测药物治疗组 UAP 患者的长期 MACEs,但不能预测 PCI 组患者的 MACEs。
