Abstract
Background/Synopsis
Metabolic dysfunction-assoc-iated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasingly recognized as a multisystemic disorder and an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although MASLD has been implicated in worsened atherosclerosis, its direct impact on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes remains uncertain.
Objective/Purpose
To evaluate whether MASLD (in the absence of cirrhosis, alcohol use disorder, or alcoholic fatty liver) affects in-hospital outcomes among patients undergoing PCI.
Methods
Using data from the 2021 National Inpatient Sample, we identified patients who underwent PCI and classified them based on MASLD status, as determined by the International Classification of Diseases codes (ICD-10 codes). We excluded patients with co-existing alcohol use disorder, alcoholic fatty liver disease, or cirrhosis. Outcomes of interest were in-hospital mortality, vasopressor requirements, length of hospital stay, and total hospital charges. Multivariate logistic regression models, adjusted for age, sex, and Charlson comorbidity index, were used to assess the association between MASLD and these outcomes.
Results
A total of 314,505 patients underwent PCI, of whom 4,320 (1.4%) had MASLD. These patients were younger (median age 61 vs. 66 years; p < 0.001) but had a higher comorbidity burden (Charlson comorbidity index of 3.9 vs. 2.8; p < 0.001), with no significant difference in gender distribution. In unadjusted analyses, there were no differences in in-hospital mortality (p = 0.725) or vasopressor requirement (p = 0.376). Patients with MASLD experienced a slightly longer hospital stay (additional 0.47 days; p = 0.02) and higher total charges (+8,496 USD; p = 0.039). After adjustment for confounders, MASLD was not associated with increased in-hospital mortality (p = 0.634), vasopressor requirement (p = 0.234), length of stay (p = 0.102), or total hospital charges (p = 0.514).
Conclusions
In this nationwide cohort, MASLD was not independently associated with adverse in-hospital outcomes following PCI. Despite having a higher comorbidity burden, patients with MASLD did not experience increased in-hospital mortality or need for vasopressors. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term implications of MASLD on PCI outcomes
期刊介绍:
Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner.
Sections of Journal of clinical lipidology will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
