The objective of our study was to assess whether calculated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is inferior to direct LDL-C (dLDL-C) in identifying patients at higher risk of all-cause mortality, recurrent acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE).
A total of 9,751 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the Fuwai PCI registry were included. DLDL-C was measured by the selective solubilization method (Kyowa Medex, Tokyo, Japan). Correct classification was defined as the proportion of estimated LDL-C in the same category as dLDL-C based on dLDL-C levels: less than 1.4, 1.4-1.8, 1.8-2.6, 2.6-3.0, and 3.0 mmol/L or greater.
Underestimation of LDL-C was found in 9.7% of patients using the Martin/Hopkins equation, compared with 13.9% using the Sampson equation and 24.6% with the Friedewald equation. Cox regression analysis showed compared the correct estimation group, underestimation of LDL-C by the Martin/Hopkins equation did not reduce all-cause mortality (HR 1.26, 95% CI: 0.72-2.20, = 0.4), recurrent AMI (HR 1.24, 95% CI: 0.69-2.21, = 0.5), and MACE (HR 1.02, 95% CI: 0.83-1.26, = 0.9). Similarly, the overestimated group did not exacerbate all-cause mortality (HR 0.9, 95% CI: 0.45-1.77, = 0.8), recurrent AMI (HR 0.63, 95% CI: 0.28-1.44, = 0.3), and MACE (HR 1.07, 95% CI: 0.86-1.32, = 0.6). The results of the diabetes subgroup analysis were similar to those of the whole population.
Compared with dLDL-C measurement, misclassification by the Martin/Hopkins and Sampson equations was present in approximately 20% of patients. However, directly measured vs. calculated LDL-C did not identify any more individuals in the PCI population with increased risk of all-cause mortality, recurrent AMI, and MACE, even in high-risk patients such as those with diabetes.
我们研究的目的是评估计算得出的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)在识别全因死亡、复发性急性心肌梗死(AMI)和主要不良心血管事件(MACE)风险较高的患者方面是否不如直接测量的LDL-C(dLDL-C)。
纳入了阜外PCI注册研究中9751例接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)的冠心病(CAD)患者。采用选择性溶解法(日本东京协和梅迪克公司)测量dLDL-C。正确分类定义为根据dLDL-C水平,估计的LDL-C与dLDL-C处于同一类别的比例:低于1.4、1.4 - 1.8、1.8 - 2.6、2.6 - 3.0以及3.0 mmol/L或更高。
使用Martin/Hopkins方程时,9.7%的患者LDL-C被低估,而使用Sampson方程时为13.9%,使用Friedewald方程时为24.6%。Cox回归分析显示,与正确估计组相比,Martin/Hopkins方程低估LDL-C并未降低全因死亡率(风险比[HR] 1.26,95%置信区间[CI]:0.72 - 2.20,P = 0.4)、复发性AMI(HR 1.24,95% CI:0.69 - 2.21)、P = 0.5)和MACE(HR 1.02,95% CI:0.83 - 1.26,P = 0.9)。同样,高估组也未加重全因死亡率(HR 0.9,95% CI:0.45 - 1.77,P = 0.8)、复发性AMI(HR 0.63,95% CI:0.28 - 1.44,P = 0.3)和MACE(HR 1.07,95% CI:0.86 - 1.32,P = 0.6)。糖尿病亚组分析结果与总体人群相似。
与测量dLDL-C相比,Martin/Hopkins和Sampson方程在约20%的患者中存在分类错误。然而,直接测量的LDL-C与计算得出的LDL-C相比,在PCI人群中并未识别出更多全因死亡、复发性AMI和MACE风险增加的个体,即使在糖尿病等高危患者中也是如此。
