Why the study?
Multivessel disease is associated with worse prognosis, increased complications, and higher in-hospital mortality than single-vessel disease, prompting the need to identify clinically relevant predictors of MVD in patients with ACS.
Multiple clinical factors including age >75, diabetes, hypertension, and LDL/HDL >1.98 independently predict the presence of multivessel disease in ACS patients, which is associated with higher in-hospital MACCEs.
Supports MVD risk stratification in ACS; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
BACKGROUND: Multivessel disease(MVD) is linked to a poorer prognosis, increased complications, longer hospital stays, and higher in-hospital mortality when compared to single-vessel disease(SVD).The purpose of this study is to explore the clinically relevant predictors of acute cornary syndrome (ACS) combined with MVD. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study included 68,378 ACS patients from 240 hospitals.The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed with univariate and multivariate analyses to identify the predictive factors for MVD. RESULTS: When compared to SVD group, the MVD group showed a higher incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events(MACCEs), including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and ischemic stroke during hospitalization, These differences were found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05) .The multivariate analysis revealed that age over 75 years (OR: 1.246, 95% CI: 1.176, 1.319), LDL/HDL ratio > 1.98 (OR: 1.245, 95% CI: 1.192, 1.302), history of heart failure (OR: 1.446, 95% CI: 1.143, 1.829), hypertension (OR: 1.274, 95% CI: 1.225, 1.325), diabetes (OR: 1.341, 95% CI: 1.278, 1.406), eGFRs < 60 ml/min·1.73m2 (OR: 1.179, 95% CI: 1.112, 1.249), family history of CAD (OR: 1.236, 95% CI: 1.108, 1.379), and high homocysteine levels (OR: 1.209, 95% CI: 1.029, 1.420) are independent predictors of MVD. The incidence of multivessel disease increased from 37.7 to 58.6% with an increase in the number of predictive factors, while the incidence of single vessel disease decreased from 62.3 to 41.4%. This trend was statistically significant (P trend < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: ), age over 75 years, and a history of heart failure. Furthermore, as the number of predictive factors increases, the odds ratio (OR) for patients with MVD also increases, reaching 2.344 times the OR for patients without any predictive factors.
