Publicized adverse events after vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) raised concern among patients with coronary atherosclerosis disease (CAD). We sought to study the association between SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and long-term clinical outcomes including ischaemic and bleeding events among patients with CAD.
Inpatients diagnosed with CAD by coronary angiography, without a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination, were included between 1 January and 30 April 2021, and underwent follow-up until 31 January 2022. Two doses of inactivated whole-virion SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (CoronaVac, BBIBPCorV, or WIBP-CorV) were available after discharge, and the group was stratified by vaccination. The primary composite outcomes were cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, unplanned revascularization, ischaemic stroke, venous thrombo-embolism, or peripheral arterial thrombosis. The bleeding outcomes were Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5 bleeding. Cox regression models with vaccination status as a time-dependent covariate were used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) for the outcomes. A propensity score matching method was used to reduce confounding biases. This prospective cohort study included 2078 individuals with CAD, 1021 (49.1%) were vaccinated. During a median follow-up of 9.1 months, 45 (4.3%) primary composite outcomes occurred in the unvaccinated group, and 33 (3.2%) in the vaccinated group. In Cox regression, the adjusted HR was 1.13 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.65-1.93]. The adjusted HR for the bleeding outcomes associated with vaccination was 0.81 [95% CI 0.35-1.19]. After matching, the adjusted HR for the primary composite outcomes associated with vaccination was 1.06 [95% CI 0.57-1.99] and for the bleeding outcomes was 0.91 [95% CI 0.35-2.38]. Similar results were found in the seven prespecified subgroups. No grade 3 adverse reactions after vaccination were recorded.
Our results indicated no evidence of an increased ischaemic or bleeding risk after vaccination with inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine among Chinese patients with CAD, with limited statistical power.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)疫苗接种后的不良事件被广泛报道,这引起了冠心病(CAD)患者的担忧。我们旨在研究 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗接种与长期临床结局之间的关联,包括 CAD 患者的缺血和出血事件。
本研究纳入了 2021 年 1 月 1 日至 4 月 30 日期间因冠状动脉造影诊断为 CAD、无 SARS-CoV-2 感染和疫苗接种史的住院患者,并在 2022 年 1 月 31 日前进行了随访。出院后可接种两剂灭活全病毒 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗(科兴中维、BBIBP-CorV 或 WIBP-CorV),根据接种情况对患者进行分层。主要复合结局为心血管死亡、非致死性心肌梗死、支架血栓形成、计划外血运重建、缺血性卒中、静脉血栓栓塞或外周动脉血栓形成。出血结局为 Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)3 型或 5 型出血。采用以接种状态为时间依赖性协变量的 Cox 回归模型计算结局的风险比(HR)。采用倾向评分匹配法减少混杂偏倚。这项前瞻性队列研究纳入了 2078 例 CAD 患者,其中 1021 例(49.1%)接种了疫苗。中位随访 9.1 个月期间,未接种组发生 45 例(4.3%)主要复合结局,接种组发生 33 例(3.2%)。在 Cox 回归中,调整后的 HR 为 1.13(95%置信区间[CI]:0.65-1.93)。与接种相关的出血结局的调整后 HR 为 0.81(95%CI:0.35-1.19)。匹配后,与接种相关的主要复合结局的调整后 HR 为 1.06(95%CI:0.57-1.99),出血结局的调整后 HR 为 0.91(95%CI:0.35-2.38)。在七个预先指定的亚组中也观察到了相似的结果。接种后未记录到 3 级不良反应。
我们的研究结果表明,在中国 CAD 患者中,接种灭活 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗不会增加缺血或出血风险,但其统计效能有限。
