The incident rate of events was 62.8 per 1,000 patients-year including all-cause mortality of 17.5 and total cardiac events of 47.4 per 1,000 patients-year.

Overview

Elevated event rates inform prognosis in Japanese CAD with confirmed stenosis; extends observational data but leaves open need for prospective validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
13,812 Japanese patients diagnosed as having 75% or higher stenosis according to the American Heart Association classification in at least 1 branch of the coronary arteries by cardiac catheterization, mean age 65.5, 76.9% male.
O
Outcome
Incident rate of events (all-cause deaths, cerebral, cardiac and vascular events)hard clinical

This large Japanese cohort study provides foundational data on the baseline characteristics and event rates of CAD patients with angiographically confirmed significant stenosis, highlighting higher event rates than previously reported in the general Japanese population.

Limitations

  • Unique patient characteristics limit comparability with other controlled studies or general population studies
  • Potential inappropriateness of some comparisons despite attempts to match background data
