RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The relationship between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and longevity is not fully understood. We aimed to determine which SBP levels in women ≥65 years of age with or without blood pressure medication were associated with the highest probability of surviving to 90 years of age. METHODS: The study population consisted of 16 570 participants enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative who were eligible to survive to 90 years of age by February 28, 2020, without a history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or cancer. Blood pressure was measured at baseline (1993 through 1998) and then annually through 2005. The outcome was defined as survival to 90 years of age with follow-up. Absolute probabilities of surviving to 90 years of age were estimated for all combinations of SBP and age using generalized additive logistic regression modeling. The SBP that maximized survival was estimated for each age, and a 95% CI was generated. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 19.8 years, 9723 of 16 570 women (59%) survived to 90 years of age. Women with an SBP between 110 and 130 mm Hg at attained ages of 65, 70, 75, and 80 years had a 38% (95% CI, 34%-48%), 54% (52%-56%), 66% (64%-67%), or 75% (73%-78%) absolute probability to survive to 90 years of age, respectively. The probability of surviving to 90 years of age was lower for greater SBP levels. Women at the attained age of 80 years with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, or 100% time in therapeutic range (defined as an SBP between 110 and 130 mm Hg) had a 66% (64%-69%), 68% (67%-70%), 71% (69%-72%), 73% (71%-74%), 75% (72%-77%), or 77% (74%-79%) absolute survival probability to 90 years of age. CONCLUSIONS: For women >65 years of age with low cardiovascular disease and other chronic disease risk, an SBP level <130 mm Hg was found to be associated with longevity. These findings reinforce current guidelines targeting an SBP target <130 mm Hg in older women.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Guidelines suggest similar blood pressure (BP) targets in patients with and without diabetes and recommend ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) to diagnose and classify hypertension. It was explored whether different levels of ambulatory and office BP and different hypertension phenotypes associate with differences of risk in diabetes and no diabetes. METHODS: This analysis assessed outcome data from the Spanish ABPM Registry in 59 124 patients with complete available data. The associations between office, mean, daytime, and nighttime ambulatory BP with the risk in patients with or without diabetes were explored. The effects of diabetes on mortality in different hypertension phenotypes, i.e. sustained hypertension, white-coat hypertension, and masked hypertension, compared with normotension were studied. Analyses were done with Cox regression analyses and adjusted for demographic and clinical confounders. RESULTS: A total of 59 124 patients were recruited from 223 primary care centres in Spain. The majority had an office systolic BP >140 mmHg (36 700 patients), and 23 128 (40.6%) patients were untreated. Diabetes was diagnosed in 11 391 patients (19.2%). Concomitant cardiovascular (CV) disease was present in 2521 patients (23.1%) with diabetes and 4616 (10.0%) without diabetes. Twenty-four-hour mean, daytime, and nighttime ambulatory BP were associated with increased risk in diabetes and no diabetes, while in office BP, there was no clear association with no differences with and without diabetes. While the relative association of BP to CV death risk was similar in diabetes compared with no diabetes (mean interaction P = .80, daytime interaction P = .97, and nighttime interaction P = .32), increased event rates occurred in diabetes for all ABPM parameters for CV death and all-cause death. White-coat hypertension was not associated with risk for CV death (hazard ratio 0.86; 95% confidence interval 0.72-1.03) and slightly reduced risk for all-cause death in no diabetes (hazard ratio 0.89; confidence interval 0.81-0.98) but without significant interaction between diabetes and no diabetes. Sustained hypertension and masked hypertension in diabetes and no diabetes were associated with even higher risk. There were no significant interactions in hypertensive phenotypes between diabetes and no diabetes and CV death risk (interaction P = .26), while some interaction was present for all-cause death (interaction P = .043) and non-CV death (interaction P = .053). CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes increased the risk for all-cause death, CV, and non-CV death at every level of office and ambulatory BP. Masked and sustained hypertension confer to the highest risk, while white-coat hypertension appears grossly neutral without interaction of relative risk between diabetes and no diabetes. These results support recommendations of international guidelines for strict BP control and using ABPM for classification and assessment of risk and control of hypertension, particularly in patients with diabetes. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: Not applicable.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is a growing burden of non-obese people with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, their cardiovascular risk (CV), especially in the presence of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) comorbidities is poorly characterised. The aim of this study was to analyse the risk of major CV adverse events in people with DM according to the presence of obesity and comorbidities (hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and dyslipidaemia). METHODS: We analysed persons who were enrolled in the prospective Silesia Diabetes Heart Project (NCT05626413). Individuals were divided into 6 categories according to the presence of different clinical risk factors (obesity and CKM comorbidities): (i) Group 1: non-obese with 0 CKM comorbidities; (ii) Group 2: non-obese with 1-2 CKM comorbidities; (iii) Group 3: non-obese with 3 CKM comorbidities (non-obese "extremely unhealthy"); (iv) Group 4: obese with 0 CKM comorbidities; (v) Group 5: obese with 1-2 CKM comorbidities; and (vi) Group 6: obese with 3 CKM comorbidities (obese "extremely unhealthy"). The primary outcome was a composite of CV death, myocardial infarction (MI), new onset of heart failure (HF), and ischemic stroke. RESULTS: 2105 people with DM were included [median age 60 (IQR 45-70), 48.8% females]. Both Group 1 and Group 6 were associated with a higher risk of events of the primary composite outcome (aHR 4.50, 95% CI 1.20-16.88; and aHR 3.78, 95% CI 1.06-13.47, respectively). On interaction analysis, in "extremely unhealthy" persons the impact of CKM comorbidities in determining the risk of adverse events was consistent in obese and non-obese ones (Pint=0.824), but more pronounced in individuals aged < 65 years compared to older adults (Pint= 0.028). CONCLUSION: Both non-obese and obese people with DM and 3 associated CKM comorbidities represent an "extremely unhealthy" phenotype which are at the highest risk of CV adverse events. These results highlight the importance of risk stratification of people with DM for risk factor management utilising an interdisciplinary approach.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The association between baseline triglyceride glucose index (TyG index) and incident non-communicable diseases, mainly in Asian populations, has been reported. In the current study, we aimed to evaluate the association between index-year, average, and visit-to-visit variability (VVV) of the TyG index with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality among the Iranian population. METHODS: The study population included 5220 participants (2195 men) aged ≥ 30 years. TyG index was calculated as Ln (fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)/2). Average values of the TyG index and also VVV (assessed by the standard deviation (SD) and variability independent of mean) were derived during the exposure period from 2002 to 2011 (index-year). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the TyG index for incident different health outcomes. RESULTS: During more than 6 years of follow-up after the index year, 290, 560, 361, and 280 events of T2DM, hypertension, CVD, and all-cause mortality occurred. 1-SD increase in the TyG index values at the index-year was independently associated with the incident T2DM [HR (95% CI) 2.50 (2.13-2.93)]; the corresponding values for the average of TyG index were 2.37 (2.03-2.76), 1.12 (0.99-1.26, pvalue = 0.05), 1.18 (1.01-1.36), and 1.29 (1.08-1.53) for incident T2DM, hypertension, CVD, and all-cause mortality, respectively. Compared to the first tertile, tertile 3 of VVV of the TyG index was independently associated with incident hypertension [1.33 (1.07-1.64), Ptrend <0.01]. Likewise, a 1-SD increase in VVV of the TyG index was associated with an 11% excess risk of incident hypertension [1.11 (1.02-1.21)]. However, no association was found between the VVV of the TyG index and other outcomes. Moreover, the impact of index-year and average values of the TyG index was more prominent among women regarding incident CVD (P for interactions < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Although the higher TyG index at index-year and its VVV were only associated with the incident T2DM and hypertension, respectively, its average value was capable of capturing the risk for all of the health outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Prevention of heart failure (HF) is a public health issue. Using the National Vital Statistics, we explored risk factors for HF and coronary artery disease (CAD) mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS: Altogether, 7,556 Japanese individuals aged ≥30 years in 1990 were followed over 25 years; of these, 139 and 154 died from HF and CAD, respectively. In multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis, common risk factors for CAD and HF mortality were hypertension (hazard ratio [HR] 1.48 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.00-2.20] and 2.31 [95% CI 1.48-3.61], respectively), diabetes (HR 2.52 [95% CI 1.63-3.90] and 2.07 [95% CI 1.23-3.50], respectively), and current smoking (HR 2.05 [95% CI 1.27-3.31) and 1.86 [95% CI 1.10-3.15], respectively). Specific risk factors for CAD were male sex, chronic kidney disease, history of cardiovascular disease, and both abnormal T and Q waves, with HRs (95% CIs) of 1.75 (1.05-2.92), 1.78 (1.19-2.66), 2.50 (1.62-3.88), and 11.4 (3.64-36.0), respectively. Specific factors for HF were current drinking (HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.24-0.78) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C; HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.67-0.98). There was an inverse association between non-HDL-C and HF in those aged ≥65 years (HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.56-0.90), but not in those aged <65 years. CONCLUSIONS: We identified common risk factors for HF and CAD deaths; a history of cardiovascular disease was a specific risk for CAD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association (AHA) recently defined a new concept of cardiovascular health-Life's Essential 8 (LE8). We sought to examine whether LE8 score is associated with a risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality in individuals with hypertension. METHODS: This longitudinal study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2018 in people 20 years or older with hypertension. LE8 score (range 0-100) was measured according to the AHA definition and divided into unweighted tertiles into groups T1 (< 50.00), T2 (50.00-61.25), and T3 (≥ 61.25). Primary outcomes included all-cause mortality and CVD-specific mortality. RESULTS: A total of 15,318 individuals with hypertension were included in this study, with a mean ± standard error age of 55.06 ± 0.25 years. During the median follow-up period of 76 months, 2525 all-cause mortality occurred, of which 806 were due to CVD. Compared with participants with hypertension in the T1 group, those in T2 and T3 respectively had 28% (adjusted HR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.63-0.83, P < 0.001) and 39% (adjusted HR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.52-0.72, P < 0.001) lower risk of all-cause mortality, the T2 and T3 groups were associated with 32% (adjusted HR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.53-0.88, P = 0.003) and 36% (adjusted HR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.49-0.84, P = 0.001) reduced risk of CVD mortality separately. CONCLUSIONS: A higher LE8 score is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and CVD mortality, and the higher LE8 score can be maintained in the clinic to improve prognosis by modifying the diet and lifestyle habits of individuals with hypertension.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dyslipidemia frequently coexists with hypertension in the population. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is increasingly considered a more potent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Abnormal levels of serum ApoB can potentially impact the mortality risk. METHODS: The prospective cohort study employed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which was performed between 2005 and 2016, with follow-ups extended until December 2019. Serum ApoB concentrations were quantified using nephelometry. In line with the NHANES descriptions and recommendations, the reference ranges for ApoB concentrations are 55-140 and 55-125 mg/dL for men and women, respectively. Participants were categorized into low, normal, and high ApoB levels. The low and high groups were combined into the abnormal group. In this study, all-cause mortality (ACM) and CVD mortality (CVM) were the endpoints. Survey-weighted cox hazards models were used for evaluating the correlation between serum ApoB levels and ACM and CVM. A generalized additive model (GAM) was employed to examine the dose-dependent relationship between ApoB levels and mortality risk. RESULTS: After a median of 95 (interquartile range: 62-135) months of follow-up, 986 all-cause and 286 CVD deaths were recorded. The abnormal ApoB group exhibited a trend toward an elevated risk of ACM in relative to the normal group (HR 1.22, 95% CI: 0.96-1.53). The risk of CVM was elevated by 76% in the ApoB abnormal group (HR 1.76, 95% CI: 1.28-2.42). According to the GAM, there existed a nonlinear association between serum ApoB levels and ACM (P = 0.005) and CVM (P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS: In the US hypertensive population, serum Apo B levels were U-shaped and correlated with ACM and CVM risk, with the lowest risk at 100 mg/dL. Importantly, abnormal Apo B levels were related to an elevated risk of ACM and CVM. These risks were especially high at lower Apo B levels. The obtained findings emphasize the importance of maintaining appropriate Apo B levels to prevent adverse outcomes in hypertensive individuals.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted global health, with successive outbreaks leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. Hypertension, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease globally, has been identified as a critical comorbidity in patients with severe COVID-19, exacerbating the risk of adverse outcomes. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of hypertension on COVID-19 outcomes within the South African context. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted at King Edward VIII Hospital, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, encompassing patients aged 13 years and above admitted with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between June 2020 and December 2021. The study investigated the association between hypertension and COVID-19 outcomes, analysing demographic, clinical, and laboratory data. Statistical analysis involved univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify predictors of mortality among the hypertensive cohort. RESULTS: The study included 420 participants-encompassing 205 with hypertension. Hypertensive patients demonstrated significantly greater requirements for oxygen and steroid therapy (p < 0.001), as well as higher mortality rates (44.88%, p < 0.001)) compared to their non-hypertensive counterparts. Key findings demonstrated that a lower oxygen saturation (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.934, p = 0.006), higher pulse pressure (aOR 1.046, p = 0.021), elevated CRP (aOR 1.007, p = 0.004) and the necessity for mechanical ventilation (aOR 5.165, p = 0.004) were independent risk factors for mortality in hypertensive COVID-19 patients. Notably, the study highlighted the pronounced impact of hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) on patient outcomes, with ischemic heart disease being significantly associated with increased mortality (aOR 8.712, p = 0.033). CONCLUSION: Hypertension significantly exacerbates the severity and mortality risk of COVID-19 in the South African setting, underscoring the need for early identification and targeted management of hypertensive patients. This study contributes to the understanding of the interplay between hypertension and COVID-19 outcomes, emphasising the importance of considering comorbidities in the management and treatment strategies for COVID-19. Enhanced pandemic preparedness and healthcare resource allocation are crucial to mitigate the compounded risk presented by these concurrent health crises.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hypertension continues to be a major public health problem affecting almost half of the adults in the US. The intersection of hypertension with food insecurity has not been well-examined specifically among minority populations. We aimed to examine the influence of food insecurity on mortality among adult Hispanics. METHODS AND RESULTS: Data on adult Hispanic (age≥ 20 years) respondents of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2010 were analyzed. Mortality was assessed by linking these data with the National Death Index through December 31, 2019. Using complex samples Cox regression analysis, the relationship between hypertension, food insecurity, and mortality was assessed. Sociodemographic (age, gender, poverty-income-ratio, marital status, and citizenship status) and health-related characteristics (COPD, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease) of the population were included as covariates in the regression analysis to assess mortality risk. The crude hazard ratio (HR) for overall mortality related to hypertension was 4.95 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.22-5.82, p < .001). The adjusted HR was elevated, 2.01 (95%CI = 1.50-2.70, p < .001), among individuals with both hypertension and food insecurity. However, among individuals with hypertension and no food insecurity, there was no statistically significant increase in the risk of mortality (HR = 1.09, 95%CI = 0.89-1.34, p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In adult Hispanics, food insecurity significantly increases the risk of mortality among those with hypertension compared to food-secure individuals. Clinicians should be sensitized to the need for food security among Hispanics with hypertension to effectively manage hypertension and reduce premature mortality.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The impact of environmental chemical exposure on blood pressure (BP) is well-established. However, the relationship between secondhand smoke exposure (SHSE) and mortality in hypertensive patients in the general population remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: This cohort study included US adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2018. All-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality outcomes were determined by associating them with the National Death Index records. Cox proportional risk models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for SHSE. The cohort included 10,760 adult participants. The mean serum cotinine level was 0.024 ng/mL. During a mean follow-up period of 76.9 months, there were 1729 deaths, including 469 cardiovascular disease deaths recorded. After adjusting for lifestyle factors, BMI, hypertension duration, medication use, and chronic disease presence, the highest SHSE was significantly associated with higher all-cause and CVD mortality. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that higher SHSE is significantly associated with higher all-cause mortality and CVD mortality. Further research is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Malnutrition is associated with poor outcomes in patients with chronic diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition in patients with hypertension and relationship between malnutrition severity and long-term mortality in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study included 11,278 patients with hypertension from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. The degree of malnutrition was assessed using the Controlled Nutritional Status score, with patients divided into normal, mild, and moderate-to-severe groups. After 10 years of follow-up, the results showed that patients who died had higher CONUT scores, poorer nutritional status, and lower albumin, total cholesterol, and lymphocytes than those who survived (P < 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with poor nutritional status had a significantly higher risk of all-cause death. In the Non-Lipid Lowering Drugs group, the CONUT score (hazard ratio (HR): 1.225; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.162-1.292; P < 0.0001), as well as mild (HR: 1.532; 95% CI 1.340-1.751; P < 0.0001) and moderate-to-severe malnutrition (HR: 2.797; 95% CI: 1.441-5.428; P = 0.0024), were independent predictors of long-term mortality. The competing risk regression models showed that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality increased with increasing CONUT scores. The results were robust in both subgroup and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Malnutrition significantly impacts long-term mortality in hypertensive patients. The CONUT score may be a useful tool for assessing the nutritional status of patients with hypertension in the non-lipid-lowering population and for predicting their long-term mortality.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The impact of inflammation on the prognosis of hypertension has received some attention. The current study examined the association between C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR), a novel indicator of inflammatory response, and mortality in individuals with hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 9561 eligible individuals diagnosed with hypertension were included in the final analysis. CAR was calculated as ratio of C-reactive protein to serum albumin concentration. Patients were categorized into tertiles based on their baseline CAR levels. The Kaplan-Meier survival method was employed to compare the survival times of patients throughout the follow-up period. Multivariable analysis was conducted using the Cox proportional regression model. In the entire study population, 3262 (27%) experienced all-cause mortality. Patients in tertile 3 exhibited a higher risk of mortality (23% vs. 28% vs. 31%, P < 0.001) in comparison to those in the other tertiles. The findings from the multivariable Cox regression analysis demonstrated that when patients in tertile 1 were used as the reference group, the highest CAR tertile displayed a 60% increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR, 1.60 [95%CI, 1.23-2.09] P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Among hypertensive patients, elevated CAR was found to be associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Therefore, CAR might be used for risk stratification within this population, facilitating the implementation of closer follow-up and the optimization of treatment strategies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, development of end-stage renal disease, and all-cause mortality. It affects around 10% of the population worldwide. The prevalence of hypertension in people with CKD ranges from 22% in stage 1 to 80% in stage 4. Elevated arterial blood pressure is one of the major independent risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events. Thereby, reducing blood pressure to below standard targets may be beneficial but could also increase the risk of adverse events. The optimal blood pressure target in people with hypertension and CKD remains unknown. OBJECTIVES: Primary: to compare the effects of standard and lower-than-standard blood pressure targets for hypertension in people with chronic kidney disease on mortality and morbidity outcomes. Secondary: to assess the magnitude of reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the proportion of participants reaching blood pressure targets, and the number of drugs necessary to achieve the assigned target. SEARCH METHODS: We used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. We searched the Cochrane Hypertension Specialized Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, one other database, and two trial registers up to 8 February 2023. We also contacted authors of relevant papers regarding further published and unpublished work. We applied no language restrictions. SELECTION CRITERIA: We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in people with hypertension and CKD that provided at least twelve months' follow-up. Eligible interventions compared lower targets for systolic/diastolic blood pressure (130/80 mmHg or lower) to standard targets for blood pressure (140 to 160/90 to 100 mmHg or lower). Participants were adults with CKD and elevated blood pressure documented in a standard way on at least two occasions, or already receiving treatment for elevated blood pressure. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: We used standard Cochrane methods. Our critical outcomes were: total mortality, total serious adverse events, total cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and progression to end-stage renal disease. Important outcomes were: participant withdrawals due to adverse effects, and number of participants with a doubling of serum creatinine level or at least a 50% reduction in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at the end of the study. We used GRADE to assess the certainty of the evidence for the critical outcomes. This review received no funding. MAIN RESULTS: We included six RCTs that contributed data for meta-analysis, involving 7348 participants overall (range 840 to 4733 people per study). The mean follow-up was 3.6 years (range 1.0 to 8.0 years). Three studies were publicly funded, two were privately funded, and one had both public and private funding. All RCTs provided individual participant data. None of the included studies blinded participants or clinicians because of the need to titrate antihypertensive drugs to reach a specific blood pressure target. However, an independent committee blinded to group allocation assessed clinical events in all studies. Critical outcomes. Compared with standard blood pressure targets, lower targets likely result in little to no difference in total mortality (risk ratio (RR) 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76 to 1.06; 6 studies, 7348 participants), total serious adverse events (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.08; 6 studies, 7348 participants), and total cardiovascular events (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.87 to 1.15; 5 studies, 6508 participants), all with moderate-certainty evidence. Compared with standard blood pressure targets, lower targets may result in little to no difference in cardiovascular mortality (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.16; 6 studies, 7348 participants) and progression to end-stage renal disease (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.11; 4 studies, 4788 participants), both with low-certainty evidence. Important outcomes. We found little to no differences in: participant withdrawals due to adverse effects; and the number of participants with a doubling of serum creatinine level, or at least a 50% reduction in GFR at the end of the study. Exploratory outcomes. Compared to the standard blood pressure target groups, participants in the lower target groups achieved lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure values after one year, and required a higher number of antihypertensive drugs at the end of the studies. A higher proportion of participants in the standard blood pressure target groups achieved the targets they were assigned than did participants in the intensive target groups. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: Compared to a standard blood pressure target, lower blood pressure targets probably result in little to no difference in total mortality, total serious adverse events, and total cardiovascular events, and may result in little to no difference in total cardiovascular mortality or in the progression to end-stage renal disease in people with hypertension and CKD. However, the evidence underpinning these conclusions has several limitations. All studies were open design, blood pressure measurement was performed at a medical office, and there was scant information about adverse events. Future research should include high-quality adverse event data, report results for people with different levels of proteinuria, and consider out-of-office blood pressure monitoring. Several studies are ongoing, and may provide new evidence for this topic in the near future.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The association between ambient temperature and mortality has yielded inconclusive results with previous studies relying on in-patient data to assess the health effects of temperature. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the effect of ambient temperature on non-accidental mortality among elderly hypertensive patients through a prospective cohort study conducted in northeastern China. METHODS: A total of 9634 elderly hypertensive patients from the Kailuan research who participated in the baseline survey and follow-up from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2017, were included in the study. We employed a Poisson generalized linear regression model to estimate the effects of monthly ambient temperature and temperature variations on non-accidental mortality. RESULTS: After adjusting for meteorological parameters, the monthly mean temperature (RR = 0.989, 95% CI: 0.984-0.993, p < 0.001), minimum temperature (RR = 0.987, 95% CI: 0.983-0.992, p < 0.001) and maximum temperature (RR = 0.989, 95% CI: 0.985-0.994, p < 0.001) exhibited a negative association with an increased risk of non-accidental mortality. The presence of higher monthly temperature variation was significantly associated with an elevated risk of mortality (RR = 1.097, 95% CI:1.051-1.146, p < 0.001). Further stratified analysis revealed that these associations were more pronounced during colder months as well as among male and older individuals. CONCLUSIONS: Decreased temperature and greater variations in ambient temperature were observed to be linked with non-accidental mortality among elderly hypertensive patients, particularly notable within aging populations and males. These understanding regarding the effects of ambient temperature on mortality holds clinical significance for appropriate treatment strategies targeting these individuals while also serving as an indicator for heightened risk of death.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Evidence of the optimal blood pressure (BP) target for older adults with disability in long-term care is limited. We aim to analyze the associations of BP with mortality in older adults in long-term care setting with different levels of disability. METHODS: This prospective cohort study was based on the government-led long-term care programme in Chengdu, China, including 41,004 consecutive disabled adults aged ≥ 60 years. BP was measured during the baseline survey by trained medical personnel using electronic sphygmomanometers. Disability profile was assessed using the Barthel index. The association between blood pressure and mortality was analyzed with doubly robust estimation, which combined exposure model by inverse probability weighting and outcome model fitted with Cox regression. The non-linearity was examined by restricted cubic spline. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoints were cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS: The associations between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and all-cause mortality were close to a U-shaped curve in mild-moderate disability group (Barthel index ≥ 40), and a reversed J-shaped in severe disability group (Barthel index < 40). In mild-moderate disability group, SBP < 135 mmHg was associated with elevated all-cause mortality risks (HR 1.21, 95% CI, 1.10-1.33), compared to SBP between 135 and 150 mmHg. In severe disability group, SBP < 150 mmHg increased all-cause mortality risks (HR 1.21, 95% CI, 1.16-1.27), compared to SBP between 150 and 170 mmHg. The associations were robust in subgroup analyses in terms of age, gender, cardiovascular comorbidity and antihypertensive treatment. Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) < 67 mmHg (HR 1.29, 95% CI, 1.18-1.42) in mild-moderate disability group and < 79 mmHg (HR 1.15, 95% CI, 1.11-1.20) in severe disability group both demonstrated an increased all-cause mortality risk. CONCLUSION: The optimal SBP range was found to be higher in older individuals in long-term care with severe disability (150-170mmHg) compared to those with mild to moderate disability (135-150mmHg). This study provides new evidence that antihypertensive treatment should be administered cautiously in severe disability group in long-term care setting. Additionally, assessment of disability using the Barthel index can serve as a valuable tool in customizing the optimal BP management strategy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hypertension and frailty often coexist in older people. The present study aimed to evaluate the association of frailty status with overall survival in elderly hypertensive patients, using data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. METHODS: A total of 10,493 elderly hypertensive patients were included in the present study (median age 87.0 years, 58.3% male). Frailty status was assessed according to a 36-item frailty index (FI), which divides elderly individuals into four groups: robustness (FI ≤ 0.10), pre-frailty (0.10 < FI ≤ 0.20), mild-frailty (0.20 < FI ≤ 0.30), and moderate-severe frailty (FI > 0.30). The study outcome was overall survival time. Accelerated failure time model was used to evaluate the association of frailty status with overall survival. RESULTS: During a period of 44,616.6 person-years of follow-up, 7327 (69.8%) participants died. The overall survival time was decreased with the deterioration of frailty status. With the robust group as reference, adjusted time ratios (TRs) were 0.84 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.80-0.87) for the pre-frailty group, 0.68 (95% CI: 0.64-0.72) for the mild frailty group, and 0.52 (95% CI: 0.48-0.56) for the moderate-severe frailty group, respectively. In addition, restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a nearly linear relationship between FI and overall survival (p for non-linearity = 0.041), which indicated the overall survival time decreased by 17% with per standard deviation increase in FI (TR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.82-0.85). Stratified and sensitivity analyses suggested the robustness of the results. CONCLUSIONS: The overall survival time of elderly hypertensive patients decreased with the deterioration of frailty status. Given that frailty is a dynamic and even reversible process, early identification of frailty and active intervention may improve the prognosis of elderly hypertensive patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previous researches examining the impact of dietary nutrition on mortality risk have mainly focused on individual nutrients, however the interaction of these nutrients has not been considered. The purpose of this study was to identify of nutrient deficiencies patterns and analyze their potential impact on mortality risk in older adults with hypertension. METHODS: We included participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study. The latent class analysis (LCA) was applied to uncover specific malnutrition profiles within the sample. Risk of the end points across the phenogroups was compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression model. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine the influencing factors of specific malnutrition profiles. RESULTS: A total of 6924 participants aged 60 years or older with hypertension from NHANES 2003-2014 was followed until December 31, 2019 with a median follow-up of 8.7 years. Various nutrients included vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, fiber, folate, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and selenium, and LCA revealed 4 classes of malnutrition. Regarding all-cause mortality, "Nutrient Deprived" group showed the strongest hazard ratio (1.42 from 1.19 to 1.70) compared with "Adequate Nutrient" group, followed by "Inadequate Nutrient" group (1.29 from 1.10 to 1.50), and "Low Fiber, Magnesium, and Vit E" group (1.17 from 1.02 to 1.35). For cardiovascular mortality, "Nutrient Deprived" group showed the strongest hazard ratio (1.61 from 1.19 to 2.16) compared with "Adequate Nutrient" group, followed by "Low Fiber, Magnesium, and Vit E" group (1.51 from 1.04 to 2.20), and "Inadequate Nutrient" group (1.37 from 1.03 to 1.83). CONCLUSIONS: The study revealed a significant association between nutrients deficiency patterns and the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in older adults with hypertension. The findings suggested that nutrients deficiency pattern may be an important risk factor for mortality in older adults with hypertension.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association recently introduced a new model for cardiovascular health (CVH) known as Life's Essential 8 (LE8). The impact of LE8 on hypertensive individuals is currently unclear. In our study, we investigated the correlation between comprehensive and individual CVH indicators as defined by LE8, and the mortality rates in hypertension patients. METHODS: We analyzed a total of 8,448 hypertensive individuals aged ≥ 20 years who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2016. These participants were nonpregnant and noninstitutionalized. We identified their mortality by linking their data to the National Death Index until December 31, 2019. The overall cardiovascular health (CVH) was assessed using the LE8 score, which ranged from 0 to 100. Additionally, we evaluated the scores for each component of diet, physical activity, tobacco/nicotine exposure, sleep duration, body mass index, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure. The CVH were categorized into low (0-49), moderate (50-79), and high (80-100) CVH. RESULTS: Over an average follow-up period of 7.41 years, 1,482 (17.54%) of the participants died, among which 472 deaths were attributed to CVD. When compared to adults with lower total CVH scores, those with elevated total CVH scores displayed a 37% reduced risk of mortality from all causes (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 0.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.45-0.88). In relation to CVD-specific mortality, the corresponding aHRs for moderate and high total CVH scores were 0.76 (0.60-0.97) and 0.54 (0.31-0.94), respectively. Furthermore, after adjusting for potential confounders, it was observed that higher scores on the LE8 index were associated with a reduced risk of both all-cause mortality (aHR for every 10-score increase, 0.91; 95% CI = 0.86-0.96) and CVD-specific mortality (aHR for every 10-score increase, 0.82; 95% CI = 0.75-0.90). Notably, a linear dose-response relationship was observed in this association. Similar patterns were identified in the relationship between health behavior and both all-cause and CVD-specific mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Achieving a higher CVH score, as per the new LE8 guidelines, has been found to be associated with a reduced risk of mortality from all causes and specifically from CVD in patients with hypertension. Therefore, public health and healthcare initiatives that focus on promoting higher CVH scores could potentially yield significant benefits in terms of reducing mortality rates among individuals with hypertension.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Blood pressure readings taken before anesthesia often influence the decision to delay or cancel elective surgeries. However, the implications of these specific blood pressure values, especially how they compare to baseline, on postoperative in-hospital 30-day mortality remain underexplored. This research aimed to examine the effect of discrepancies between the baseline blood pressure evaluated in the ward a day before surgery, and the blood pressure observed just before the administration of anesthesia, on the postoperative mortality risks. METHODS: The study encompassed 60,534 adults scheduled for non-cardiac surgeries at a tertiary care center in Seoul, Korea. Baseline blood pressure was calculated as the mean of the blood pressure readings taken within 24 hours prior to surgery. The preanesthetic blood pressure was the blood pressure measured right before the administration of anesthesia. We focused on in-hospital 30-day mortality as the primary outcome. RESULTS: Our research revealed that a lower preanesthetic systolic or mean blood pressure that deviates by 20 mmHg or more from baseline significantly increased the risk of 30-day mortality. This association was particularly pronounced in individuals with a history of hypertension and those aged 65 and above. Higher preanesthetic blood pressure was not significantly associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality. CONCLUSION: We found that a lower preanesthetic blood pressure compared to baseline significantly increased the 30-day postoperative mortality risk, whereas a higher preanesthetic blood pressure did not. Our study emphasizes the critical importance of accounting for variations in both baseline and preanesthetic blood pressure when assessing surgical risks and outcomes.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate surgical outcomes of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis MATERIALS AND METHODS: The National Inpatient Sample Database (2000-2015 Q3) was queried for patients with a diagnosis of aspergillosis and/or mucormycosis and a diagnosis of acute sinusitis using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition. Factors associated with inpatient mortality were then identified with multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: 514 adult patients with a median age of 57.0 years were identified, of which 231 (44.9 %) underwent sinus surgery. Surgical patients had a longer length of stay (17.0 vs 9.0 days, p < 0.001) and higher total charges ($139,762.00 vs $57,945.00, p < 0.001). The number of sinus procedures was associated with reduced odds of inpatient mortality (OR 0.69; p < 0.001) in multivariate analysis. Hypertension (OR 0.34, p = 0.002) and chronic kidney disease (OR 0.23, p = 0.034) were associated with reduced odds of inpatient mortality. Total number of procedures (OR 1.24; p = 0.002), mucormycosis (OR 2.75, p = 0.002), age (OR 1.03, p = 0.006) and acid-base disorders (OR 2.85, p = 0.012) were associated with increased odds of inpatient mortality. CONCLUSION: This represents the first large scale study to evaluate outcomes for invasive fungal rhinosinusitis. These findings suggest the odds of inpatient mortality decrease with greater extent of sinus surgery performed. The potentially protective roles of hypertension and chronic kidney disease should be evaluated in future research.
