Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the EQ-5D-3L Level Sum Score (LSS) in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced (HFrEF) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF) and the effect of sacubitril/valsartan on this score using patient-level data from the PARADIGM-HF and PARAGON-HF trials.
Methods: The LSS was calculated by summating the 3 levels (1-3) for each of the 5 domains (minimum sum score=5; maximum sum score=15). Patient characteristics and outcomes were compared across LSS tertiles (T1-T3) at baseline. Cox models were used to evaluate the primary endpoint (first HF hospitalization or cardiovascular death) according to tertiles of LSS. Changes in LSS severity at 8 months were analysed using ordinal logistic regression models to estimate the effect of sacubitril/valsartan versus enalapril or valsartan.
Results: Of 13,195 patients, 12,974 had a baseline LSS. Compared to lower LSS, patients with higher (worse) scores were older, more often women and White, and had more comorbidities and more severe HF. At 8 months, patients assigned to sacubitril/valsartan experienced more improvement and less worsening of LSS versus the comparator: OR:1.16 (95%CI: 1.08-1.24). Sacubitril/valsartan also reduced the risk of the primary outcome across LSS tertiles: T1: HR: 0.87 (95%CI: 0.75-1.00); T2: 0.80 (95%CI: 0.71-0.90); T3: 0.87 (95%CI: 0.77-0.97); Pinteraction=0.59. Higher LSS was independently associated with a greater risk of the primary endpoint, and the achieved LSS at 8 months may be more strongly associated with subsequent outcomes.
Conclusions: Sacubitril/valsartan significantly reduced the risk of HF events and improved health status across the LSS spectrum in HFrEF and HFmrEF/HFpEF.
期刊介绍:
The European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy (EHJ-CVP) is an international, peer-reviewed journal published in English, specifically dedicated to clinical cardiovascular pharmacology. EHJ-CVP publishes original articles focusing on clinical research involving both new and established drugs and methods, along with meta-analyses and topical reviews. The journal's primary aim is to enhance the pharmacological treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease by interpreting and integrating new scientific developments in this field.
While the emphasis is on clinical topics, EHJ-CVP also considers basic research articles from fields such as physiology and molecular biology that contribute to the understanding of cardiovascular drug therapy. These may include articles related to new drug development and evaluation, the physiological and pharmacological basis of drug action, metabolism, drug interactions, and side effects.
