Falta de adherencia a ticagrelor frente a clopidogrel y riesgo de eventos en pacientes con SCA. Resultados del registro CREA-ARIAM / Nonadherence to ticagrelor versus clopidogrel and clinical outcomes in patients with ACS. Results from the CREA-ARIAM registry

Introduction and objectives Prior studies have not determined whether the effect of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) cessation on the subsequent risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) varies by the choice of P2Y12-inhibitor after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods We performed a prespecified subanalysis of a multicenter, prospective registry of ACS patients discharged on ticagrelor or clopidogrel between 2015 and2019. Nonadherence to DAPT was categorized as physician-guided discontinuation and disruption due to adverse effects, nonadherence, or bleeding. The association between DAPT cessation and 1-year MACE was analyzed using multivariate time-updated Cox models with inverse probability of censoring weighted estimators. Results Out of 2180 patients, 174 (8.3%) prematurely discontinued DAPT (physician-guided, n=126; disruption, n=48). Nonadherent patients were older and had more comorbidities than those on DAPT. Compared with physician-guided discontinuation, disruption occurred earlier after discharge and was more frequent with ticagrelor than with clopidogrel. In time-varying analysis, DAPT cessation was associated with an increased risk of MACE (adjusted HR, 1.32, 95%CI, 1.10-1.76), largely driven by disruption (adjusted HR, 1.47, 95%CI, 1.22-1.73). There was an exponential increase in MACE risk after DAPT cessation within 90 days after ACS, especially after disruption of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel (Pinteraction<.001). After adjustment for DAPT duration, this interaction was not statistically significant on the additive scale (relative excess risk due to interaction 0.12, 95%CI,−0.99-1.24). Conclusions In this all-comers registry, 1 in 12 patients prematurely discontinued DAPT within 1 year after ACS. Compared with physician-recommended discontinuation, disruption resulted in a significantly higher risk of MACE. After adjustment for DAPT duration, this association was not moderated by the choice of P2Y12-inhibitor (AU)

Introducción y objetivos Una baja adherencia al tratamiento antiagregante plaquetario doble (TAPD) condiciona peor pronóstico tras un síndrome coronario agudo (SCA). Se analizó si el riesgo de eventos adversos cardiovasculares mayores (MACE) tras la interrupción prematura del TAPD varía según el inhibidor del P2Y12. Métodos Análisis preespecificado de pacientes con SCA tratados con ticagrelor o clopidogrel entre 2015 y 2019 dentro de un registro prospectivo multicéntrico. Se categorizó la suspensión prematura como indicada por el médico o como interrupción por hemorragia, efectos secundarios o incumplimiento del paciente. La asociación entre la suspensión del TAPD y los MACE se analizó mediante modelos multivariantes de Cox dependientes del tiempo, con estimadores robustos ponderados por probabilidad inversa de censura. Resultados De 2.180 pacientes, 174 (8,3%) suspendieron el TAPD precozmente (126 por indicación médica y 48 por disrupción). Los pacientes incumplidores tenían más edad y más comorbilidad que los adherentes. Frente a la suspensión indicada por el médico, la disrupción del TAPD fue más precoz y frecuente con el ticagrelor que con el clopidogrel. La suspensión del TAPD condicionó mayor riesgo de MACE (HRajustada=1,32; IC95%, 1,10-1,76), principalmente en caso de la disrupción (HRajustada=1,47; IC95%, 1,22-1,73). Este riesgo aumentó exponencialmente en los 90 días posteriores al SCA y fue más evidente con ticagrelor (pinteracción<0,001). Tras considerar la duración del TAPD, esta interacción no resultó significativa en la escala aditiva (exceso de riesgo debido a interacción=0,12; IC95%, –0,99 a 1,24)(AU)

Nonadherence to ticagrelor versus clopidogrel and clinical outcomes in patients with ACS. Results from the CREA-ARIAM registry.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Prior studies have not determined whether the effect of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) cessation on the subsequent risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) varies by the choice of P2Y12-inhibitor after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS: We performed a prespecified subanalysis of a multicenter, prospective registry of ACS patients discharged on ticagrelor or clopidogrel between 2015 and2019. Nonadherence to DAPT was categorized as physician-guided discontinuation and disruption due to adverse effects, nonadherence, or bleeding. The association between DAPT cessation and 1-year MACE was analyzed using multivariate time-updated Cox models with inverse probability of censoring weighted estimators. RESULTS: Out of 2180 patients, 174 (8.3%) prematurely discontinued DAPT (physician-guided, n=126; disruption, n=48). Nonadherent patients were older and had more comorbidities than those on DAPT. Compared with physician-guided discontinuation, disruption occurred earlier after discharge and was more frequent with ticagrelor than with clopidogrel. In time-varying analysis, DAPT cessation was associated with an increased risk of MACE (adjusted HR, 1.32, 95%CI, 1.10-1.76), largely driven by disruption (adjusted HR, 1.47, 95%CI, 1.22-1.73). There was an exponential increase in MACE risk after DAPT cessation within 90 days after ACS, especially after disruption of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel (Pinteraction<.001). After adjustment for DAPT duration, this interaction was not statistically significant on the additive scale (relative excess risk due to interaction 0.12, 95%CI,-0.99-1.24). CONCLUSIONS: In this all-comers registry, 1 in 12 patients prematurely discontinued DAPT within 1 year after ACS. Compared with physician-recommended discontinuation, disruption resulted in a significantly higher risk of MACE. After adjustment for DAPT duration, this association was not moderated by the choice of P2Y12-inhibitor. Clinical trial registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT02500290).
