Abstract
Background: The fibrosis-4 (FIB4) index, a simple, noninvasive marker used for hepatic diseases, represents adverse outcomes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the FIB4 index can predict adverse outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: We investigated patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and were alive at discharge. The cut-off FIB4 index at discharge was investigated using the survival classification and regression tree (CART) model to predict adverse outcomes. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality.
Results: Between January 2006 and December 2018, 1354 patients with STEMI (median age, 68 years; men, 76.1%) were investigated. The median value of the FIB4 index was 1.21 (0.84-1.78). The CART model divided the study population into low (FIB4 index <0.945; n = 435), intermediate (0.945 ≤ FIB4 index < 2.185; n = 692), and high (FIB4 index ≥2.185; n = 227) groups based on the significant predictive values for all-cause death. During a median follow-up period of 4.3 years, all-cause death occurred in 208 patients (15.4%). The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant increase in mortality with higher FIB4 index values (log-rank, P < 0.001). The multivariate Cox regression model revealed that the FIB4 index was an independent risk predictor for all-cause death in patients with STEMI [low group as reference vs. intermediate group, hazard ratio: 1.975; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.166-3.346; P = 0.011 and vs. high group, hazard ratio: 4.633; 95% CI: 2.549-8.418; P < 0.001].
Conclusions: The FIB4 index was associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI.
期刊介绍:
Coronary Artery Disease welcomes reports of original research with a clinical emphasis, including observational studies, clinical trials, translational research, novel imaging, pharmacology and interventional approaches as well as advances in laboratory research that contribute to the understanding of coronary artery disease. Each issue of Coronary Artery Disease is divided into four areas of focus: Original Research articles, Review in Depth articles by leading experts in the field, Editorials and Images in Coronary Artery Disease. The Editorials will comment on selected original research published in each issue of Coronary Artery Disease, as well as highlight controversies in coronary artery disease understanding and management.
Submitted artcles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
