Associations of pre-hospital statin treatment with in-hospital outcomes and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with first acute coronary syndrome-findings from the CCC-ACS project

BackgroundThe current burden of dyslipidemia, the pre-hospital application of statins and the association of pre-hospital statins with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and in-hospital outcomes in Chinese patients with first acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are very significant and remain u...

description BackgroundThe current burden of dyslipidemia, the pre-hospital application of statins and the association of pre-hospital statins with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and in-hospital outcomes in Chinese patients with first acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are very significant and remain unclear.MethodsA total of 41,183 patients who underwent coronary angiography and were diagnosed with ACS for the first time from a nationwide registry study (CCC-ACS) were enrolled. The severity of CAD was assessed using the CAD prognostic index (CADPI). The patients were classified into statin and non-statin groups according to their pre-hospital statin treatment status. Clinical characteristics, CADPI and in-hospital outcomes were compared, and a logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether pre-hospital statin therapy is associated with in-hospital outcomes and CADPI. A sensitivity analysis was used to further explore the issues above.ResultsThe non-statin group had more in-hospital all-cause deaths (1.2 vs. 0.8%, P = 0.010). However, no association exists between statin pretreatment and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) or all-cause deaths in the entire population and subgroups (all P > 0.05). Surprisingly, statin pretreatment was associated with an 8.9% higher risk of severely obstructive CAD (CADPI ≥ 37) (OR, 1.089; 95% CI, 1.010–1.175, P = 0.028), and similar results were observed in subgroups of females, those aged 50 to 75 years, and patients with hypertension.ConclusionStatin pretreatment was not related to MACEs or all-cause death during hospital stay, but it was associated with a higher risk of increased angiographic severity in patients with first ACS.
