Recurrence of Cardiovascular Events After an Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients with Multivessel Disease and Associated Healthcare Costs: A German Claims Data Analysis.
Aim: This study sought to quantify the healthcare costs of multivessel disease (MVD) and determine the prevalence and incidence of recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in high-risk patients diagnosed with MVD following an acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods: This retrospective study utilized German claims data (AOK PLUS), between 01/01/2010 and 31/12/2020. Patients were included if they (1) had an inpatient diagnosis of an MI between 01/01/2012 and 31/12/2019 (index date), (2) were ≥ 18 years of age at date of MI diagnosis, and (3) had diabetes or met two of the following criteria: ≥ 65 years old, prior MI, peripheral arterial disease. MACE was defined as (1) MI, (2) stroke, or (3) death with a cardiovascular diagnosis within 30 days prior. To measure the burden of MVD, patients were identified during the index hospitalization by presence of MVD. Healthcare resource use and costs were compared after adjustment based on propensity score matching (PSM).
Results: A total of 5158 patients with evidence for MVD were included in the main analysis. 31.17% experienced a MACE within 365 days following the incident MI. After PSM adjustment, 33.22% of the MVD cohort experienced a MACE versus 36.48% of non-MVD patients. MVD patients had a higher rate of recurrent MI (14.22% vs. 9.81%). Additionally, public healthcare costs were about €4 million higher in the total MVD cohort than in the non-MVD cohort in the first year after an MI (€47,896,012.32 vs. €43,718,713.75, respectively), reflecting the MVD cohort's higher use of the public healthcare system. More MVD patients were prescribed guideline-recommended medication (61.4% vs. 46.0%).
Conclusion: This study found that presence of MVD contributed to higher rates of recurrent MI. Patients with MVD experienced higher rates of recurrent MI despite a higher proportion of patients receiving guideline-directed medication therapy compared to non-MVD patients. Conversely, there was a higher mortality rate observed in the non-MVD cohort.
