Objective:
To assess the use of statins and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels at admission in hospitalized patients aged 75 years and older with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in China.
Methods:
Data used in this study derived from the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China (CCC)-ACS project, a nationwide registry with 150 tertiary hospitals reporting details of clinical information of ACS patients. This study enrolled patients 75 years and older with ACS in CCC-ACS project from November 2014 to June 2017. Patients were divided into two groups according to the history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Pre-hospital statin use, LDL-C levels at admission and prescription of statins at discharge were reported.
Results:
A total of 10 899 patients 75 years and older with ACS were enrolled. The median age was 79 years and 58.7% (6 397 cases) were male. Among patients with history of ASCVD, 33.9% (1 028 cases) of them received statins before hospitalization. Among patients without history of ASCVD, 12.7% (996/7 871) received statins before hospitalization. The mean level of LDL-C was (2.4±0.9) mmol/L and LDL-C was <1.8 mmol/L in 24.7% (747 cases) of patients with history of ASCVD. The mean level of LDL-C was (2.6±0.9) mmol/L and LDL-C was <2.6 mmol/L in 51.7% (4 072 cases) of patients without history of ASCVD. At discharge, 91.2% (9 524/10 488) of patients were prescribed with statins in patients without contraindications for statin.
Conclusion
In elderly patients with recurrent ASCVD, there was an inadequate statin use before hospitalization and most patients did not reach the LDL-C target level when they had the recurrent events. In the elderly ACS patients without history of ASCVD, more than half of the patients had an ideal LDL-C level. It seems that ideal LDL-C level for primary prevention of ACS in elderly people needs to be reevaluated with further studies.

Background::Reperfusion therapy is fundamental for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the details of contemporary practice and factors associated with reperfusion therapy in China are largely unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to explore reperfusion practice and its associated factors among hospitalized patients with STEMI in China.Methods::Patients with STEMI who were admitted to 159 tertiary hospitals from 30 provinces in China were included in the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Acute Coronary Syndrome project from November 2014 to December 2019. The associations of the characteristics of patients and hospitals with reperfusion were examined using hierarchical logistic regression. The associations between therapies and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events were examined with a mixed effects Cox regression model.Results::Among the 59,447 patients, 37,485 (63.1%) underwent reperfusion, including 4556 (7.7%) receiving fibrinolysis and 32,929 (55.4%) receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The reperfusion rate varied across geographical regions (48.0%-73.5%). The overall rate increased from 60.0% to 69.7% from 2014 to 2019, mainly due to an increase in primary PCI within 12 h of symptom onset. Timely PCI, but not fibrinolysis alone, was associated with a decreased risk of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events compared with no reperfusion, with an adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of 0.64 (0.54,0.76) for primary PCI at <12 h, 0.53 (0.37,0.74) for primary PCI at 12 to 24 h, 0.46 (0.25,0.82) for the pharmaco-invasive strategy, and 0.79 (0.54,1.15) for fibrinolysis alone.Conclusions::Nationwide quality improvement initiatives should be strengthened to increase the reperfusion rate and reduce inequality in China.Trial registration::www.ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02306616

Background::Oral anti-coagulants (OAC) are the intervention for the prevention of stroke, which consistently improve clinical outcomes and survival among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The main purpose of this study is to identify problems in OAC utilization among hospitalized patients with AF in China.Methods::Using data from the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Atrial Fibrillation (CCC-AF) registry, guideline-recommended OAC use in eligible patients was assessed.Results::A total of 52,530 patients with non-valvular AF were enrolled from February 2015 to December 2019, of whom 38,203 were at a high risk of stroke, 9717 were at a moderate risk, and 4610 were at a low risk. On admission, only 20.0% (6075/30,420) of patients with a diagnosed AF and a high risk of stroke were taking OAC. The use of pre-hospital OAC on admission was associated with a lower risk of new-onset ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack among the diagnosed AF population (adjusted odds ratio: 0.54, 95% confidence interval: 0.43–0.68; P <0.001). At discharge, the prescription rate of OAC was 45.2% (16,757/37,087) in eligible patients with high stroke risk and 60.7% (2778/4578) in eligible patients with low stroke risk. OAC utilization in patients with high stroke risk on admission or at discharge both increased largely over time (all P <0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that OAC utilization at discharge was positively associated with in-hospital rhythm control strategies, including catheter ablation (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 11.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 10.04–13.47; P <0.001), electronic cardioversion (adjusted OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.65–3.51; P <0.001), and anti-arrhythmic drug use (adjusted OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.38–1.53; P <0.001). Conclusions::In hospitals participated in the CCC-AF project, >70% of AF patients were at a high risk of stroke. Although poor performance on guideline-recommended OAC use was found in this study, over time the CCC-AF project has made progress in stroke prevention in the Chinese AF population.Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02309398.
