Abstract
With the increasing frequency of heart failure (HF) in elderly patients, polypharmacy has become a major concern owing to its adverse outcomes. However, reports on the clinical impact of polypharmacy and discharge medications in hospitalized super-aged patients with acute HF are rare. Data from 682 patients aged 80 years or older, hospitalized for treating acute HF, were analyzed. We recorded the number of medications at discharge and classified them into three groups: HF, non-HF cardiovascular, and non-cardiovascular medications. We investigated the correlation of polypharmacy, defined as daily administration of 10 or more medications at discharge, and the use of discharge medications with post-discharge prognosis. Polypharmacy was recorded in 24.3% of enrolled patients. Polypharmacy was not an independent predictor of all-cause mortality, the incidence of cardiac-related death, or HF-associated rehospitalization; however, the number of non-cardiovascular medications, multiple usage of potentially inappropriate medications, use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and doses of loop diuretics were associated with poor prognosis. Polypharmacy was significantly associated with higher mortality in patients with Barthel index ≥ 60 at discharge; hence, physical function at discharge was useful for the stratification of prognostic impacts of polypharmacy. The current study demonstrated that polypharmacy was not essentially associated with poor prognosis in super-aged patients with acute HF. Appropriate medications that consider the patient's physical function, rather than polypharmacy itself, are important for the management of HF.

Association of Malnutrition and High Bleeding Risk with Long-Term Prognosis in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. MEDICINES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:62. [PMID: 38132889 PMCID: PMC10744455 DOI: 10.3390/medicines10120062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition in cardiovascular disease is associated with poor prognosis, especially in patients with heart failure and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). High bleeding risk is also linked to coronary artery disease prognosis, including ACS. However, whether the extent of malnutrition and high bleeding risk have a cumulative impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with ACS who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention remains unclear. METHODS We analyzed 275 patients with ACS treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. The Controlling Nutritional Status score and Japanese version of the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk criteria (J-HBR) were retrospectively evaluated. The primary and secondary outcomes were adjusted using the inverse probability treatment weighting method. RESULTS The prevalence of moderate or severe malnutrition in this cohort was 16%. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly higher incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients who were moderately or severely malnourished than in those who were not. Notably, the incidence of these major events was similar between severely malnourished patients with J-HBR and those without. CONCLUSION Moderate or severe malnutrition has a significant impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with ACS who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention.
