ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study aimed to investigate the impact of indices of adrenal venous sampling (AVS) on postsurgical outcomes in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). DESIGN AND PATIENTS This retrospective study determined biochemical and clinical outcomes based on ACTH-stimulated AVS parameters (lateralisation index [LI], contralateral ratio [CLR], and ipsilateral ratio [ILR]) in 251 patients with PA at 3 months after surgery.RESULTS:
Modified complete biochemical success was achieved in 8 of 12 (66.7%) patients with LI = 3-4, 39 of 47 (83.0%) with LI = 4-10, and 155 of 169 (91.7%) with LI ≥ 10 (p = .004 for trend). Modified complete biochemical success was achieved in 29 of 38 (76.3%) patients with CLR ≥ 1 and ILR ≤ 2, 73 of 86 (84.9%) with CLR = 0.25-1 and ILR > 2, and 100 of 104 (96.2%) with CLR < 0.25 and ILR > 2 (p = .001 for trend). After adjusting for confounders, modified complete biochemical success was associated with an LI ≥ 10 (odds ratio [OR] = 6.32; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.33-29.93) using LI = 3-4 as a reference and combined CLR < 0.25 and ILR > 2 (OR = 11.49; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.49-53.01) using combined CLR ≥ 1 and ILR ≤ 2 as a reference. Using combined CLR ≥ 1 and ILR ≤ 2 as a reference, complete clinical success was associated with combined CLR < 0.25 and ILR > 2 (OR = 3.10; 95% CI = 1.03-9.28) and combined CLR = 0.25-1 and ILR > 2 (OR = 4.92; 95% CI = 1.64-14.76).CONCLUSION:
LI ≥ 10 may be appropriate for achieving biochemical success. With ILR > 2, CLR < 0.25, and CLR < 1 may be appropriate for achieving biochemical and clinical success, respectively.Key words
