RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Poor cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health is associated with premature mortality and excess morbidity in the United States. Adverse social conditions have a prominent impact on cardiometabolic diseases during the life course. We aim to examine the association between social risk profile (SRP) and CKM multimorbidity among US adults. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2018. The definition of CKM syndrome is the coexistence of subclinical or clinical cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and metabolic disorders. We classified participants by 4 CKM stages according to the different clinical severity of different forms of CKM syndrome. We calculated the summed number of positive SRP measures, including employed, high-income level, food secure, high education attainment, private insurance, owning a house, and married, as SRP scores and classified them into 4 levels by quartiles: low (0-2), lower-middle (3-4), upper-middle (5-6), and high (7-8). A total of 18 373 US adults, aged 20 to 79 years, were included in our analyses. There were 2567 (9.4%) participants with low SRP score level. Most individual SRP measures and a combined SRP score were associated with CKM stages. Compared with high SRP score level, low SRP level was associated with higher odds of having CKM stage 1 (odds ratio [OR], 1.34 [95% CI, 1.06-1.70]), CKM stage 2 (OR, 2.03 [95% CI, 1.59-2.58]), CKM stage 3 (OR, 5.28 [95% CI, 3.29-8.47]), and CKM stage 4 (OR, 5.97 [95% CI, 4.20-8.49]). CONCLUSIONS: Cumulative social disadvantage, denoted by higher SRP burden, was associated with higher odds of CKM multimorbidity, independent of demographic and lifestyle factors.

OBJECTIVE: We aim to examine the association between long-term cumulative health status and subsequent mortality among patients with acute heart failure (HF). METHODS: Based on a national prospective cohort study of patients hospitalized for HF, we measured health status by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)-12 at 4 time points, i.e. admission, 1-,6- and 12-month after discharge. Cumulative health status was interpreted by cumulative KCCQ-12 score and cumulative times of good health status. Outcomes included subsequent all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were performed to examine the association between cumulative health status and subsequent mortality. RESULTS: Totally, 2328 patients (36.7% women and median age 66 [IQR: 56-75] years) were included, the median follow-up was 4.34 (IQR: 3.93-4.96) years. Compared with Quartile 4, the lowest Quartile 1 had the highest HR for all-cause mortality (2.96; 95% CI: 2.26-3.87), followed by Quartile 2 (1.79; 95% CI: 1.37-2.34) and Quartile 3 (1.62; 95% CI: 1.23-2.12). Patients with 0-time of good health status had the highest risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 2.41, 95% CI: 1.69-3.46) compared with patients with 4-times of good health status. Similar associations persisted for cardiovascular mortality. CONCLUSIONS: A greater burden of cumulative health status indicated worse survival among patients hospitalized for HF. Repeated KCCQ measurements could be helpful to monitor long-term health status and identify patients vulnerable to death. Clinical Trial Registration: www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02878811).
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: We aimed to develop and validate a model to predict 1-year mortality risk among patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF), build a risk score and interpret its application in clinical decision making. METHODS: By using data from China Patient-Centred Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Prospective Heart Failure Study, which prospectively enrolled patients hospitalized for AHF in 52 hospitals across 20 provinces, we used multivariate Cox proportional hazard model to develop and validate a model to predict 1-year mortality. RESULTS: There were 4,875 patients included in the study, 857 (17.58%) of them died within 1-year following discharge of index hospitalization. A total of 13 predictors were selected to establish the prediction model, including age, medical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertension, systolic blood pressure, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-12 score, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker at discharge, discharge symptom, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, high-sensitivity troponin T, serum creatine, albumin, blood urea nitrogen, and highly sensitive C-reactive protein. The model showed a high performance on discrimination (C-index was 0.759 [95% confidence interval: 0.739, 0.778] in development cohort and 0.761 [95% confidence interval: 0.731, 0.791] in validation cohort), accuracy, calibration, and outperformed than several existed risk scores. A point-based risk score was built to stratify low- (0-12), intermediate- (13-16), and high-risk group (≥17) among patients. CONCLUSIONS: A prediction model using readily available predictors was developed and internal validated to predict 1-year mortality risk among patients hospitalized for AHF. It may serve as a useful tool for individual risk stratification and informing decision making to improve clinical care.

OBJECTIVE: This study examined the association between physical activity patterns and abdominal and general adiposity. METHODS: Data were extracted among 20- to 59-year-old participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2018. Abdominal and general adiposity was assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and anthropometric measures. DXA-measured indicators were further normalized into z scores. Physical activity levels were collected by questionnaire and classified as inactive, "weekend warrior" (WW), and regularly active (RA). Survey linear regression models were used to assess associations between physical activity patterns and adiposity indicators. RESULTS: Among 9629 participants, 772 (8.2%) reported the WW pattern and 3277 (36.9%) reported the RA pattern. Compared with inactive, both WW and RA had lower DXA-measured abdominal adiposity (WW: ß: -0.24, 95% CI: -0.38 to -0.10; RA: -0.18, 95% CI: -0.29 to -0.07), waist circumference (WW: ß: -1.94, 95% CI: -3.16 to -0.73; RA: -1.31, 95% CI: -2.32 to -0.29), whole-body fat mass (WW: ß: -0.16, 95% CI: -0.25 to -0.08; RA: -0.11, 95% CI: -0.18 to -0.04), and BMI (WW: ß: -0.78, 95% CI: -1.27 to -0.28; RA: -0.47, 95% CI: -0.89 to -0.04). CONCLUSIONS: The WW pattern was associated with similarly lower abdominal and general adiposity to the RA pattern versus the inactive pattern.

BACKGROUND: To examine the associations between cumulative depressive symptoms and subsequent mortality among patients hospitalized for acute hear failure (AHF). METHODS: By using data from a prospective cohort study of patients with HF, depressive symptoms were measured by using Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) at admission, 1-and 12-month after discharge. Cumulative depressive symptoms were interpreted by cumulative PHQ-2 score and cumulative times of depressive symptoms. Outcomes included subsequent 3-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS: We included 2347 patients with the median follow-up of 4.4 (interquartile range [IQR]: 4.0-5.0) years. Tertile 3 of cumulative PHQ-2 score had the highest risk of all-cause (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.47, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.21-1.78) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.51, 95 % CI: 1.21-1.89) compared with Tertile 1; patients with≥2 times of depressive symptoms had the highest risk of all-cause (HR: 1.62, 95 % CI: 1.31-2.00) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.60, 95 % CI: 1.25-2.05) compared with patients without any depressive symptom. Cumulative PHQ-2 score provided the highest level of incremental prognostic ability in predicting the risk of all-cause (C-statistics: 0.64, 95 % CI: 0.62-0.66) and cardiovascular mortality (C-statistics: 0.65, 95 % CI: 0.62-0.67) on the basis of Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure score. CONCLUSION: Cumulative depressive symptoms were associated with the increased risk of subsequent mortality and provided incremental prognostic ability for the outcomes among patients with HF. Repeated depressive symptom measurements could be helpful to monitor long-term depressive symptoms, identify targeted patients and perform psychological interventions and social support to improve clinical outcomes among patients with AHF.

BACKGROUND: To examine the association between cumulative cognitive function and subsequent mortality among patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS: Based on a prospective cohort of patients hospitalized for AHF, cognitive function was measured using Mini-Cog test at admission, 1- and 12-month following discharge. Cumulative cognitive function was interpreted by cumulative Mini-Cog score and cumulative times of cognitive impairment. Outcomes included subsequent all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS: 1 454 patients hospitalized for AHF with median follow-up of 4.76 (interquartile range [IQR]: 4.18-5.07) years were included. Tertile 1 of cumulative Mini-Cog score had the highest risk of all-cause (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-2.03) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.02-1.93) compared with Tertile 3; patients with ≥2 times of cognitive impairment had the highest risk of all-cause (HR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.03-1.73) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.25, 95% CI: 0.93-1.67) compared with patients without any cognitive impairment. Cumulative Mini-Cog score provided the highest incremental prognostic ability in predicting all-cause (C-statistics: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.61-0.66) and cardiovascular mortality (C-statistics: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.60-0.67) risk on the basis of Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure score. CONCLUSIONS: Poor cumulative cognitive function was associated with increased risk of subsequent mortality and provided incremental prognostic ability for the outcomes among patients with AHF. Longitudinal assessment and monitoring of cognitive function among patients with AHF would be of great importance in identifying patients at greater risk of self-care absence for optimizing personal disease management in clinical practice.
