COPD has high mortality, compounded by comorbid cardiovascular disease. We investigated two ECG markers, Cardiac Infarction Injury Score (CIIS) and P pulmonale, as prognostic tools for adverse cardiopulmonary events in COPD.
This was a analysis of the IMPACT trial. Outcomes included odds (odds ratio, 95% confidence intervals) of adverse cardiopulmonary events stratified by CIIS threshold (<20 ≥20) and P pulmonale (baseline). Events included all-cause death, hospitalisation or death, cardiovascular adverse event of special interest, severe COPD exacerbations, and moderate/severe COPD exacerbations. We also assessed the effects of fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol fluticasone furoate/vilanterol or umeclidinium/vilanterol based on CIIS and P pulmonale.
We included 9448 patients. Patients with CIIS ≥20 ( CIIS <20) had greater odds of all-cause death (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.27-2.37, p<0.001), hospitalisation or death (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.17-1.50, p<0.001), cardiovascular adverse event of special interest (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.08-1.48, p<0.005), severe COPD exacerbations (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.21-1.64, p<0.001) and moderate/severe COPD exacerbations (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.13-1.40, p<0.001). Patients with P pulmonale ( without) had greater odds of all-cause death (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.54-3.29, p<0.001), hospitalisation or death (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.28-1.79, p<0.001), severe COPD exacerbations (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.65-2.41, p<0.001) and moderate/severe COPD exacerbations (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.08-1.46, p<0.001). A combined model demonstrated that patients with CIIS ≥20 and P pulmonale had increased risk of all-cause death (OR 3.38, 95% CI 1.23-9.30, p=0.019), hospitalisation or death (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.14-2.22, p=0.004) and rate of severe COPD exacerbations (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.22-2.91, p=0.004) and moderate/severe COPD exacerbations (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.00-1.56, p=0.046). The risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular adverse events of special interest was reduced with fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol umeclidinium/vilanterol in patients with CIIS ≥20, but not CIIS <20.
These findings suggest the potential clinical relevance of CIIS and P pulmonale as risk indicators for adverse cardiopulmonary events in COPD.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)死亡率高,合并心血管疾病时情况更复杂。我们研究了两种心电图标志物,即心肌梗死损伤评分(CIIS)和肺型P波,作为COPD患者发生不良心肺事件的预后工具。
这是对IMPACT试验的一项分析。结局包括按CIIS阈值(<20与≥20)和肺型P波(基线)分层的不良心肺事件的比值比(优势比,95%置信区间)。事件包括全因死亡、住院或死亡、特别关注的心血管不良事件、重度COPD急性加重以及中度/重度COPD急性加重。我们还基于CIIS和肺型P波评估了糠酸氟替卡松/乌美溴铵/维兰特罗、糠酸氟替卡松/维兰特罗或乌美溴铵/维兰特罗的效果。
我们纳入了9448例患者。CIIS≥20(与CIIS<20相比)的患者全因死亡(优势比1.73,95%置信区间1.27 - 2.37,p<0.001)、住院或死亡(优势比1.33,95%置信区间1.17 - 1.50,p<0.001)特别关注的心血管不良事件(优势比1.27,95%置信区间1.08 - 1.48,p<0.005)、重度COPD急性加重(优势比1.41,95%置信区间1.21 - 1.64,p<0.001)以及中度/重度COPD急性加重(优势比1.25,95%置信区间1.13 - 1.40,p<0.001)的比值比更高。有肺型P波(与无肺型P波相比)的患者全因死亡(优势比2.25,95%置信区间1.54 - 3.29,p<0.001)、住院或死亡(优势比1.51,95%置信区间1.28 - 1.79,p<0.001)、重度COPD急性加重(优势比2.00,95%置信区间1.65 - 2.41,p<0.001)以及中度/重度COPD急性加重(优势比1.25,95%置信区间1.08 - 1.46,p<0.001)的比值比更高。一个联合模型表明,CIIS≥20且有肺型P波的患者全因死亡(优势比3.38,95%置信区间1.23 - 9.30,p = 0.019)、住院或死亡(优势比1.61,95%置信区间1.14 - 2.22,p = 0.004)以及重度COPD急性加重率(优势比1.89,95%置信区间1.22 - 2.91,p = 0.004)和中度/重度COPD急性加重(优势比1.25,95%置信区间1.00 - 1.56,p = 0.046)的风险增加。在CIIS≥20但不是CIIS<20的患者中,糠酸氟替卡松/乌美溴铵/维兰特罗与乌美溴铵/维兰特罗相比,可降低全因死亡和特别关注的心血管不良事件的风险。
这些发现表明CIIS和肺型P波作为COPD患者发生不良心肺事件的风险指标具有潜在的临床相关性。
