Abstract
Background/Introduction
The REAL-CAD study identified that aggressive lipid lowering with high-dose statin reduced cardiovascular events also in Japanese patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, data from the SPARCL trial found that the benefits of high-dose atorvastatin treatment were partially offset by an increase in haemorrhagic stroke (HS). Although meta-analysis showed statin does not increase HS in Western countries, the evidence about the relation between statin and HS in Asian countries is still conflicting. In addition, the CREDO-Kyoto score is one of the prediction scorings for bleeding after coronary revascularization and might be a useful tool for the prediction of HS in this cohort. Recognizing the risk of HS and predicting of HS in the Asian cohort is clinically important.
Purpose
This study examined the factors associated with HS using the REAL-CAD cohort. Furthermore, we evaluated the performance of the CREDO-Kyoto bleeding risk score to predict HS in this cohort. We also performed the corresponding analysis of ischaemic stroke for reference purposes.
Methods
We sub-analysed the REAL-CAD study, prospective, multicentre, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint study, in which 13,054 Japanese patients with stable CAD were randomized to high-dose (4 mg/day) or low-dose (1 mg/day) pitavastatin. Associations for stroke were determined using competing risk models: the Fine and Gray subdistribution hazards model accounting for the competing risk of death in models of haemorrhagic and ischaemic stroke in REAL-CAD trial. Patients were categorized to low (score 0), moderate (score 1–2), and high (score>3) according to CREDO-Kyoto bleeding score for predicting of HS.
Results
The HS events in high-dose group tended to be higher than low-dose group (4mg vs. 1mg: 43 (0.7%) vs. 30 (0.5%)). The associated factors of HS on univariate analysis were non-prior myocardial (hazard ratio (HR): 0.62, 95% CI: 0.39–0.99) and non-prior cerebral (HR: 0.25, 95% CI: 0.09–0.70) infarction, atrial fibrillation (HR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.2–4.7), prior HS (HR: 4.2, 95% CI: 1.5–11.8), anaemia (HR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.4–4.1), and non-statins use before run-in period (HR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.28–0.99). High-dose pitavastatin was not a correlate with HS. The multivariate analysis revealed anaemia might have a relation with HS (HR: 4.3, 95% CI: 0.90–20.6). The number of HS was the highest in the high CREDO-Kyoto bleeding score group (Figure 1, HR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.3–4.6), whereas there was no significant difference in the number of HS between the moderate- and low-risk groups (HR: 1.4, 95% CI: 0.84–2.3).
Conclusions
High-dose pitavastatin was not associated with the incidence of HS in this large Japanese cohort with stable CAD. High CREDO-Kyoto bleeding score was associated with HS as compared with low or moderate scores, even each of the variables consisting of CREDO-Kyoto score was not associated with HS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The relation between very low on-treatment low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level and the cardiovascular event risk is still unclear in patients receiving the same doses of statins.
Methods
From the REAL-CAD study comparing high-dose with low-dose pitavastatin therapy in Japanese patients with stable coronary artery disease, 11105 patients without reported non-adherence for the study drug were divided into 3 groups according to the on-treatment LDL-C level at 6-month (<70 mg/dL, 70–100 mg/dL, and ≥100 mg/dL; N=1016, N=3078, and N=1665 in the pitavastatin 1 mg/day stratum; N=2431, N=2524, and N=391 in the pitavastatin 4 mg/day stratum). Primary outcome measure was a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal ischemic stroke, or unstable angina requiring emergent admission.
Results
In the pitavastatin 1 mg/day stratum, cumulative 4-year incidence of the primary outcome measure was not significantly different across the 3 groups (5.0%, 5.7%, and 5.2%, P=0.51), while in the 4 mg/day stratum, it was significantly higher in the LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL group than in other groups (4.5%, 3.4%, and 9.1%, P<0.001). The adjusted risks of the LDL-C <70 mg/dL group relative to the LDL-C 70–100 mg/dL group (reference) remained insignificant for the primary outcome measure in both 1 mg/day and 4 mg/day strata (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.58–1.18, P=0.32, and HR 1.25, 95% CI 0.88–1.79, P=0.22). The adjusted risk of LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL group relative to the reference group was not significant for the primary outcome measure in the 1 mg/day stratum (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.60–1.11, P=0.21), while it was highly significant in the 4 mg/day stratum (HR 3.32, 95% CI 2.08–5.17, P<0.001). In the on-treatment LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL group in the 4 mg/day stratum, LDL-C increased by 6.3 mg/dL from baseline to 6-month despite dose escalation of pitavastatin from 1 mg/day to 4 mg/day, suggesting the presence of unreported poor adherence in this small subgroup.
Adjusted Effects of On-treatment LDL-C
Conclusions
Very low on-treatment LDL-C level (<70 mg/dL) was not associated with lower cardiovascular event risk compared with moderately low on-treatment LDL-C level (70–100 mg/dL) in patients receiving the same doses of statins. Too much emphasis on the target LDL-C strategy might mislead the clinical practice.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The effect of statins on lowering high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as well as low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) has been associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular events in patients with elevated hs-CRP. However, it remains unclear whether this statin effect applies to low-risk patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). In this pre-specified sub-study within the REAL-CAD trial, we explored the association between achieved LDL-C/hs-CRP levels and cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with stable CAD who were treated with pitavastatin 1 mg or 4 mg/day.
Methods
The REAL-CAD trial randomly allocated 13,054 patients with stable CAD to pitavastatin 1 mg or 4 mg/day. LDL-C and hs-CRP were measured at baseline and at 6 months after randomization. We excluded those patients without 6-month data and those with endpoint events before 6 months (N=1915). The primary endpoint of the study was a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal ischemic stroke, or unstable angina requiring emergency hospitalization. Outcomes were assessed by landmark analysis beyond 6 months among 4 groups that were configured based on LDL-C (median) and hs-CRP (median) targets: achieving neither target, achieving LDL-C target only, achieving hs-CRP target only, and achieving both targets. Data were adjusted for baseline characteristics including age, gender, diabetes and baseline values of LDL-C and hs-CRP.
Results
Median LDL-C and hs-CRP levels were 88 mg/dL and 0.52 mg/L at baseline and 80 mg/dL and 0.48 mg/L after 6 months, respectively. There was no correlation between the change in LDL-C and hs-CRP levels from baseline to 6 months (correlation coefficient: 0.009, P=0.331). Of the 11,677 patients included in the study, 25.1% (N=2799) achieved both LDL-C and hs-CRP targets, 25.3% (N=2282) met neither target, 24.8% (N=2765) met only the hs-CRP target, and 24.7% (N=2753) met only the LDL-C target. Risk of primary endpoint occurrence was significantly lower in those achieving either or both targets than in those meeting neither target (Figure A). In the subgroup analysis stratified by the randomized dose of pitavastatin, the risk for the primary endpoint was significantly lower in patients achieving both targets in both the 1mg and 4 mg arms, and in patients achieving only hs-CRP target in the 1 mg arm (Figure B, C).

Conclusions
In this subanalysis of the REAL-CAD trial, the hs-CRP lowering effect of pitavastatin was independent from LDL-C lowering. Lower achieved hs-CRP was associated with lower risk for cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with stable CAD.

Abstract
AIM Hypoglycaemia is a common complication in diabetes patients. However, its relationship with retinopathy has not been well documented in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to investigate the associations between hypoglycaemia and the incidence and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS In this longitudinal cohort study, which was part of the Japan Diabetes Complications Study (JDCS), adult patients with T2D were recruited at 59 diabetes clinics across Japan. Their history of hypoglycaemia was assessed by standardized self-reported questionnaires. Severe hypoglycaemia was defined as having at least one episode with coma requiring an outpatients visit or hospitalization. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for incidence and progression of DR over 8 years of follow-up were determined. RESULTS Of 1221 patients without DR, 127 (10.4%) had experienced non-severe hypoglycaemia within the previous year, whereas 10 (0.8%) reported severe hypoglycaemia episodes. During the 8-year follow-up involving 8492 person-years, 329 patients developed DR. In 410 patients with prevalent DR, the adjusted HRs for incident DR were 4.35 (95% CI: 1.98-9.56; P<0.01) and, for progression of DR, 2.29 (95% CI: 0.45-11.78; P=0.32) with severe hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSION Having a history of severe hypoglycaemia was one of the strongest predictors of incident DR in patients with T2D, with a fourfold increased risk. Identifying patients with greater risks of DR based on their history of hypoglycaemia may help to personalize risk evaluation in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of the study was to determine the transition rate and factors associated with the progression of normo- and low microalbuminuria to diabetic nephropathy (overt proteinuria). METHODS For 8 years we prospectively observed 1,558 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose basal urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR) had been measured as <17.0 mg/mmol at entry. The incidence of nephropathy (UACR >33.9 mg/mmol) was determined by measuring UACR twice a year. RESULTS Progression to nephropathy occurred in 74 patients. The annual transition rate was 0.67%, and was substantially higher for the low-microalbuminuric group than for the normoalbuminuric group (1.85% and 0.23%, respectively; hazard ratio for the low-microalbuminuric group 8.45, p < 0.01). The hazard ratio for an HbA(1c) of 7-9% or ≥9% was 2.72 (p < 0.01) or 5.81 (p < 0.01) relative to HbA(1c) <7.0%, respectively. In comparison with individuals with a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of <120 mmHg, the hazard ratios for patients with an SBP of 120-140 mmHg or ≥140 mmHg were 2.31 (p = 0.06) and 3.54 (p < 0.01), respectively. Smoking also affected progression to proteinuria (hazard ratio 1.99, p < 0.01). In contrast, 30.3% of the low-microalbuminuric group returned to normoalbuminuria (i.e. were in remission). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These results suggest that if patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are receiving treatment from diabetologists for hyperglycaemia and hypertension when they are in the early stages of nephropathy (i.e. normo- or low microalbuminuria), their rate of transition to proteinuria is considerably lowered, and that differentiating patients with low microalbuminuria from those with high microalbuminuria might be clinically useful.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of the study was to clarify whether a therapeutic intervention focused on lifestyle modification affected the incidence of vascular complications in patients with established diabetes. METHODS A total of 2,033 eligible Japanese men and women aged 40-70 years with type 2 diabetes from 59 institutes were randomised to a conventional treatment group (CON), which continued to receive the usual care, and a lifestyle intervention group (INT), which received education on lifestyle modification regarding dietary habits, physical activities and adherence to treatment by telephone counselling and at each outpatient clinic visit, in addition to the usual care. Randomisation and open-label allocation were done by a central computer system. Primary analysis regarding measurements of control status and occurrence of macro- and microvascular complications was based on 1,304 participants followed for an 8 year period. RESULTS Although status of control of most classic cardiovascular risk factors, including body weight, glycaemia, serum lipids and BP, did not differ between groups during the study period, the incidence of stroke in the INT group (5.48/1,000 patient-years) was significantly lower than in the CON group (9.52/1,000 patient-years) by Kaplan- Meier analysis (p=0.02 by logrank test) and by multivariate Cox analysis (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.39-0.98, p=0.04). The incidence of CHD, retinopathy and nephropathy did not differ significantly between groups. Lipoprotein(a) was another significant independent risk factor for stroke. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These findings suggest that lifestyle modification had limited effects on most typical control variables, but did have a significant effect on stroke incidence in patients with established type 2 diabetes.
