Abstract

RESUMO Fundamento: Há carência de informações nacionais em relação a terapias utilizadas e evolução nos pacientes com síndrome coronária aguda com elevação de ST (SCACEST). Objetivos: Avaliar as terapias baseadas em evidência, a ocorrência de desfechos, uso de reperfusão e preditores para não receber reperfusão nos pacientes com SCACEST em um registro nacional multicêntrico. Métodos: Pacientes com SCACEST do Registro ACCEPT com até 12 horas de sintomas foram seguidos por 1 ano para ocorrência de eventos cardiovasculares maiores. Um p < 0,05 foi aplicado para todas análises. Resultados: Na análise de 1.553 pacientes, a taxa de reperfusão foi de 76,8%, variando de 47,5% na região Norte a até 80,5% na região Sudeste. A taxa de eventos cardiovasculares maiores foi de 12,5% em 1 ano. A prescrição de terapias baseadas em evidência na admissão hospitalar foi de 65,6%. A presença de hipertensão (odds ratio [OR] 1,47; intervalo de confiança [IC] 95% 1,11 a 1,96; p < 0,01), infarto agudo do miocárdio prévio (OR 1,81; IC 95% 1,32 a 2,48; p < 0,001) e as regiões Norte (OR 4,65; IC 95% 2,87 a 7,52; p < 0,001), Centro-Oeste (OR 4,02 IC 95% 1,26 a 12,7; p < 0,05) e Nordeste (OR 1,70; IC 95% 1,17 a 2,46; p < 0,01) foram preditores independentes de não utilização de terapia de reperfusão. Conclusões: No seguimento de 1 ano do Registro ACCEPT podemos verificar uma ampla variação dentre as regiões no que tange a aderência às melhores práticas de cuidado. Ser atendido nas regiões Norte, Centro-Oeste ou Nordeste, ter hipertensão arterial sistêmica ou infarto prévio foram preditores independentes de não utilização de terapia de reperfusão.

Abstract

Once a patient has been diagnosed with severe COVID-19 pneumonia, treatment options have limited effectiveness. Opaganib is an oral treatment under investigation being evaluated for treatment of hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 2/3 trial was conducted in 57 sites worldwide from August 2020 to July 2021. Patients received either opaganib (n = 230; 500 mg twice daily) or matching placebo (n = 233) for 14 days. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients no longer requiring supplemental oxygen by day 14. Secondary outcomes included changes in the World Health Organization Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement, viral clearance, intubation, and mortality at 28 and 42 days. Pre-specified primary and secondary outcome analyses did not demonstrate statistically significant benefit (except nominally for time to viral clearance). Post-hoc analysis revealed the fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) at baseline was prognostic for opaganib treatment responsiveness and corresponded to disease severity markers. Patients with FIO2 levels at or below the median value (≤60%) had better outcomes after opaganib treatment (n = 117) compared to placebo (n = 134). The proportion of patients with ≤60% FIO2 at baseline that no longer required supplemental oxygen (≥24 h) by day 14 of opaganib treatment increased (76.9% vs. 63.4%; nominal p-value = 0.033). There was a 62.6% reduction in intubation/mechanical ventilation (6.84% vs. 17.91%; nominal p-value = 0.012) and a clinically meaningful 62% reduction in mortality (5.98% vs. 16.7%; nominal p-value = 0.019) by day 42. No new safety concerns were observed. While the primary analyses were not statistically significant, post-hoc analysis suggests opaganib benefit for patients with severe COVID-19 requiring supplemental oxygen with an FIO2 of ≤60%. Further studies are warranted to prospectively confirm opaganib benefit in this subpopulation.

Abstract

Aim: The SAMe-TT2R2 score helps identify patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) likely to have poor anticoagulation control during anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) and those with scores >2 might be better managed with a target-specific oral anticoagulant (NOAC). We hypothesized that in clinical practice, VKAs may be prescribed less frequently to patients with AF and SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 than to patients with lower scores. Methods and results: We analyzed the Phase III dataset of the Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (GLORIA-AF), a large, global, prospective global registry of patients with newly diagnosed AF and ≥1 stroke risk factor. We compared baseline clinical characteristics and antithrombotic prescriptions to determine the probability of the VKA prescription among anticoagulated patients with the baseline SAMe-TT2R2 score >2 and ≤ 2. Among 17,465 anticoagulated patients with AF, 4,828 (27.6%) patients were prescribed VKA and 12,637 (72.4%) patients an NOAC: 11,884 (68.0%) patients had SAMe-TT2R2 scores 0-2 and 5,581 (32.0%) patients had scores >2. The proportion of patients prescribed VKA was 28.0% among patients with SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 and 27.5% in those with scores ≤2. Conclusions: The lack of a clear association between the SAMe-TT2R2 score and anticoagulant selection may be attributed to the relative efficacy and safety profiles between NOACs and VKAs as well as to the absence of trial evidence that an SAMe-TT2R2-guided strategy for the selection of the type of anticoagulation in NVAF patients has an impact on clinical outcomes of efficacy and safety. The latter hypothesis is currently being tested in a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: This observational, cross-sectional study based aimed to test whether heart failure (HF)-disease management program (DMP) components are influencing care and clinical decision-making in Brazil. METHODS: The survey respondents were cardiologists recommended by experts in the field and invited to participate in the survey via printed form or email. The survey consisted of 29 questions addressing site demographics, public versus private infrastructure, HF baseline data of patients, clinical management of HF, performance indicators, and perceptions about HF treatment. RESULTS: Data were obtained from 98 centers (58% public and 42% private practice) distributed across Brazil. Public HF-DMPs compared to private HF-DMP were associated with a higher percentage of HF-DMP-dedicated services (79% vs 24%; OR: 12, 95% CI: 94-34), multidisciplinary HF (MHF)-DMP [84% vs 65%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-8), HF educational programs (49% vs 18%; OR: 4; 95% CI: 1-2), written instructions before hospital discharge (83% vs 76%; OR: 1; 95% CI: 0-5), rehabilitation (69% vs 39%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-9), monitoring (44% vs 29%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 1-5), guideline-directed medical therapy-HF use (94% vs 85%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 0-15), and less B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) dosage (73% vs 88%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-9), and key performance indicators (37% vs 60%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-7). In comparison to non- MHF-DMP, MHF-DMP was associated with more educational initiatives (42% vs 6%; OR: 12; 95% CI: 1-97), written instructions (83% vs 68%; OR: 2: 95% CI: 1-7), rehabilitation (69% vs 17%; OR: 11; 95% CI: 3-44), monitoring (47% vs 6%; OR: 14; 95% CI: 2-115), GDMT-HF (92% vs 83%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 0-15). In addition, there were less use of BNP as a biomarker (70% vs 84%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 1-8) and key performance indicators (35% vs 51%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 91,6) in the non-MHF group. Physicians considered changing or introducing new medications mostly when patients were hospitalized or when observing worsening disease and/or symptoms. Adherence to drug treatment and non-drug treatment factors were the greatest medical problems associated with HF treatment. CONCLUSION: HF-DMPs are highly heterogeneous. New strategies for HF care should consider the present study highlights and clinical decision-making processes to improve HF patient care.

Fundamento: As diretrizes baseiam-se em evidências para pautar suas recomendações; apesar disso, há uma lacuna entre o recomendado e a prática clínica. Objetivo: Descrever a prática de prescrição de tratamentos com indicação baseada em diretrizes para pacientes com síndrome coronariana aguda no Brasil. Métodos: Foi realizada uma subanálise do registro ACCEPT, na qual foram avaliados os dados epidemiológicos e a taxa de prescrição de ácido acetilsalicílico, inibidores P2Y12, antitrombóticos, betabloqueadores, inibidores da enzima conversora de angiotensina/bloqueadores AT1 e estatinas. Além disso, avaliou-se a qualidade da reperfusão coronariana no infarto com supradesnivelamento do segmento ST. Resultados: Foram avaliados 2.453 pacientes. As taxas de prescrição de ácido acetilsalicílico, inibidores de P2Y12, antitrombóticos, betabloqueadores, inibidores da enzima conversora de angiotensina/bloqueadores AT1 e estatinas foram, respectivamente, de 97,6%, 89,5%, 89,1, 80,2%, 67,9%, 90,6%, em 24 horas, e, respectivamente, de 89,3%, 53,6, 0%, 74,4%, 57,6%, 85,4%, em 6 meses. Com relação ao infarto com supradesnivelamento do segmento ST, somente 35,9% e 25,3% dos pacientes foram submetidos a angioplastia primária e trombólise, respectivamente, nos tempos recomendados. Conclusão: Este registro mostrou altas taxas de prescrição inicial de antiplaquetários, antitrombóticos e estatina, bem como taxas mais baixas de betabloqueadores e de inibidores da enzima conversora de angiotensina/bloqueadores AT1. Independentemente da classe, todos apresentaram queda do uso aos 6 meses. A maioria dos pacientes com infarto com supradesnivelamento do segmento ST não foi submetida a reperfusão coronariana no tempo recomendado.

Abstract

Resumo Fundamento Existe carência de informações prospectivas sobre a evolução em um ano após uma síndrome coronária aguda (SCA) em uma grande amostra de pacientes brasileiros. Objetivos Avaliar a prescrição de terapias baseadas em evidência, a ocorrência de desfechos graves e os preditores para estes desfechos em um registro brasileiro multicêntrico de pacientes com SCA. Métodos O ACCEPT é um estudo observacional prospectivo que incluiu pacientes internados com diagnóstico de SCA em 47 hospitais brasileiros. Os pacientes foram seguidos por 1 ano e coletou-se dados sobre prescrição médica e ocorrência de eventos cardiovasculares maiores (mortalidade cardiovascular, reinfarto e acidente vascular encefálico - AVE). Valores de p < 0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significantes. Resultados Um total de 5.047 pacientes foram incluídos neste registro, de agosto de 2010 até abril de 2014. Foi confirmado o diagnóstico de SCA em 4.782 pacientes (94,7%) e, dentre os 3 diagnósticos possíveis, o mais comum foi SCA com elevação do segmento ST (35,8%). A taxa de eventos cardiovasculares maiores foi de 13,6 % em 1 ano. A prescrição completa de terapias baseadas em evidência na admissão hospitalar foi de 62,1%. Idade, atendimento público, infarto agudo do miocárdio, AVE, insuficiência renal, diabetes e qualidade da terapia estiveram associados de forma independente à ocorrência de eventos cardiovasculares maiores. Conclusões No seguimento de 1 ano do registro ACCEPT, mais de 10% dos pacientes apresentaram eventos cardiovasculares maiores e esta taxa variou de acordo com a qualidade da terapia. Há necessidade da elaboração de estratégias para melhorar o uso de terapias baseadas em evidência no sentido de minimizar os eventos cardiovasculares na população brasileira.

Abstract

Summary Background The pathophysiology of COVID-19 includes immune-mediated hyperinflammation, which could potentially lead to respiratory failure and death. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is among cytokines that contribute to the inflammatory processes. Lenzilumab, a GM-CSF neutralising monoclonal antibody, was investigated in the LIVE-AIR trial to assess its efficacy and safety in treating COVID-19 beyond available treatments. Methods In LIVE-AIR, a phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, hospitalised adult patients with COVID-19 pneumonia not requiring invasive mechanical ventilation were recruited from 29 sites in the USA and Brazil and were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive three intravenous doses of lenzilumab (600 mg per dose) or placebo delivered 8 h apart. All patients received standard supportive care, including the use of remdesivir and corticosteroids. Patients were stratified at randomisation by age and disease severity. The primary endpoint was survival without invasive mechanical ventilation to day 28 in the modified intention-to-treat population (mITT), comprising all randomised participants who received at least one dose of study drug under the documented supervision of the principal investigator or sub-investigator. Adverse events were assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of study drug. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT04351152 , and is completed. Findings Patients were enrolled from May 5, 2020, until Jan 27, 2021. 528 patients were screened, of whom 520 were randomly assigned and included in the intention-to-treat population. 479 of these patients (n=236, lenzilumab; n=243, placebo) were included in the mITT analysis for the primary outcome. Baseline demographics were similar between groups. 311 (65%) participants were males, mean age was 61 (SD 14) years at baseline, and median C-reactive protein concentration was 79 (IQR 41–137) mg/L. Steroids were administered to 449 (94%) patients and remdesivir to 347 (72%) patients; 331 (69%) patients received both treatments. Survival without invasive mechanical ventilation to day 28 was achieved in 198 (84%; 95% CI 79–89) participants in the lenzilumab group and in 190 (78%; 72–83) patients in the placebo group, and the likelihood of survival was greater with lenzilumab than placebo (hazard ratio 1·54; 95% CI 1·02–2·32; p=0·040). 68 (27%) of 255 patients in the lenzilumab group and 84 (33%) of 257 patients in the placebo group experienced at least one adverse event that was at least grade 3 in severity based on CTCAE criteria. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events of grade 3 or higher were related to respiratory disorders (26%) and cardiac disorders (6%) and none led to death. Interpretation Lenzilumab significantly improved survival without invasive mechanical ventilation in hospitalised patients with COVID-19, with a safety profile similar to that of placebo. The added value of lenzilumab beyond other immunomodulators used to treat COVID-19 alongside steroids remains unknown. Funding Humanigen.

Abstract

RationaleThere are few treatment options for severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Opaganib is an oral treatment under investigation.ObjectiveEvaluate opaganib treatment in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia.MethodsA randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 2/3 trial was conducted in 60 sites worldwide from August 2020 to July 2021.Patients received either opaganib (n=230; 500mg twice daily) or matching placebo (n=233) for 14 days.Main Outcome MeasurementsPrimary outcome was the proportion of patients no longer requiring supplemental oxygen by day 14. Secondary outcomes included changes in the World Health Organization Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement, viral clearance, intubation, and mortality at 28- and 42-days.Main ResultsPre-specified primary and secondary outcome analyses did not demonstrate statistically significant benefit (except for time to viral clearance). Post-hoc analysis revealed the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) at baseline was prognostic for opaganib treatment responsiveness and corresponded to disease severity markers. Patients with FiO2levels at or below the median value (≤60%) had better outcomes after opaganib treatment (n=117) compared to placebo (n=134). The proportion of patients with ≤60% FIO2 at baseline that no longer required supplemental oxygen (≥24 hours) by day 14 of opaganib treatment increased (76.9% vs 63.4%: p-value =0.033). There was a 62.6% reduction in intubation/mechanical ventilation (6.84% vs 17.91%; p-value=0.012) and a clinically meaningful 62% reduction in mortality (5.98% vs 16.7%; p-value=0.019) by day 42. No new safety concerns observed.ConclusionsPost-hoc analysis supports opaganib benefit in COVID-19 severe pneumonia patients that require lower supplemental oxygen (≤60% FiO2). Further studies are warranted.Trial registration numberNCT04467840

Abstract

Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:29:34Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-06-12 Background: COVID-19 is associated with a prothrombotic state leading to adverse clinical outcomes. Whether therapeutic anticoagulation improves outcomes in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 is unknown. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of therapeutic versus prophylactic anticoagulation in this population. Methods: We did a pragmatic, open-label (with blinded adjudication), multicentre, randomised, controlled trial, at 31 sites in Brazil. Patients (aged ≥18 years) hospitalised with COVID-19 and elevated D-dimer concentration, and who had COVID-19 symptoms for up to 14 days before randomisation, were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either therapeutic or prophylactic anticoagulation. Therapeutic anticoagulation was in-hospital oral rivaroxaban (20 mg or 15 mg daily) for stable patients, or initial subcutaneous enoxaparin (1 mg/kg twice per day) or intravenous unfractionated heparin (to achieve a 0·3–0·7 IU/mL anti-Xa concentration) for clinically unstable patients, followed by rivaroxaban to day 30. Prophylactic anticoagulation was standard in-hospital enoxaparin or unfractionated heparin. The primary efficacy outcome was a hierarchical analysis of time to death, duration of hospitalisation, or duration of supplemental oxygen to day 30, analysed with the win ratio method (a ratio >1 reflects a better outcome in the therapeutic anticoagulation group) in the intention-to-treat population. The primary safety outcome was major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding through 30 days. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04394377) and is completed. Findings: From June 24, 2020, to Feb 26, 2021, 3331 patients were screened and 615 were randomly allocated (311 [50%] to the therapeutic anticoagulation group and 304 [50%] to the prophylactic anticoagulation group). 576 (94%) were clinically stable and 39 (6%) clinically unstable. One patient, in the therapeutic group, was lost to follow-up because of withdrawal of consent and was not included in the primary analysis. The primary efficacy outcome was not different between patients assigned therapeutic or prophylactic anticoagulation, with 28 899 (34·8%) wins in the therapeutic group and 34 288 (41·3%) in the prophylactic group (win ratio 0·86 [95% CI 0·59–1·22], p=0·40). Consistent results were seen in clinically stable and clinically unstable patients. The primary safety outcome of major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding occurred in 26 (8%) patients assigned therapeutic anticoagulation and seven (2%) assigned prophylactic anticoagulation (relative risk 3·64 [95% CI 1·61–8·27], p=0·0010). Allergic reaction to the study medication occurred in two (1%) patients in the therapeutic anticoagulation group and three (1%) in the prophylactic anticoagulation group. Interpretation: In patients hospitalised with COVID-19 and elevated D-dimer concentration, in-hospital therapeutic anticoagulation with rivaroxaban or enoxaparin followed by rivaroxaban to day 30 did not improve clinical outcomes and increased bleeding compared with prophylactic anticoagulation. Therefore, use of therapeutic-dose rivaroxaban, and other direct oral anticoagulants, should be avoided in these patients in the absence of an evidence-based indication for oral anticoagulation.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: This observational, cross-sectional study based aimed to test whether heart failure (HF)-disease management program (DMP) components are influencing care and clinical decision-making in Brazil. METHODS: The survey respondents were cardiologists recommended by experts in the field and invited to participate in the survey via printed form or email. The survey consisted of 29 questions addressing site demographics, public versus private infrastructure, HF baseline data of patients, clinical management of HF, performance indicators, and perceptions about HF treatment. RESULTS: Data were obtained from 98 centers (58% public and 42% private practice) distributed across Brazil. Public HF-DMPs compared to private HF-DMP were associated with a higher percentage of HF-DMP-dedicated services (79% vs 24%; OR: 12, 95% CI: 94-34), multidisciplinary HF (MHF)-DMP [84% vs 65%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-8), HF educational programs (49% vs 18%; OR: 4; 95% CI: 1-2), written instructions before hospital discharge (83% vs 76%; OR: 1; 95% CI: 0-5), rehabilitation (69% vs 39%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-9), monitoring (44% vs 29%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 1-5), guideline-directed medical therapy-HF use (94% vs 85%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 0-15), and less B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) dosage (73% vs 88%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-9), and key performance indicators (37% vs 60%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-7). In comparison to non- MHF-DMP, MHF-DMP was associated with more educational initiatives (42% vs 6%; OR: 12; 95% CI: 1-97), written instructions (83% vs 68%; OR: 2: 95% CI: 1-7), rehabilitation (69% vs 17%; OR: 11; 95% CI: 3-44), monitoring (47% vs 6%; OR: 14; 95% CI: 2-115), GDMT-HF (92% vs 83%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 0-15). In addition, there were less use of BNP as a biomarker (70% vs 84%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 1-8) and key performance indicators (35% vs 51%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 91,6) in the non-MHF group. Physicians considered changing or introducing new medications mostly when patients were hospitalized or when observing worsening disease and/or symptoms. Adherence to drug treatment and non-drug treatment factors were the greatest medical problems associated with HF treatment. CONCLUSION: HF-DMPs are highly heterogeneous. New strategies for HF care should consider the present study highlights and clinical decision-making processes to improve HF patient care.

(Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 114(6):995-1003) Abstract Background There is lack of prospective data on evolution within one year of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in a representative population of Brazilian patients. Objectives To assess the prescription of evidence-based therapies, the incidence of severe outcomes and the predictors for these outcomes in a multicenter Brazilian registry of ACS patients. Methods The ACCEPT is a prospective observational study, which included patients hospitalized with a diagnostic of ACS in 47 Brazilian hospitals. The patients were followed for a 1 year and data were collected on the medical prescription and the occurrence of major cardiovascular events (cardiovascular mortality, reinfarction and cerebrovascular accident - CVA). Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results A total of 5,047 patients were included in this registry from August 2010 to April 2014. The diagnosis of ACS was confirmed in 4,782 patients (94.7%) and, among those, the most frequent diagnosis was ACS with ST segment elevation (35.8%). The rate of major cardiovascular events was 13.6 % within 1 year. Adherence to prescription of evidence-based therapy at admission was of 62.1%. Age, public service, acute myocardial infarction, CVA, renal failure, diabetes and quality of therapy were associated independently with the occurrence of major cardiovascular events. Conclusions During the one-year follow-up of the ACCEPT registry, more than 10% of the patients had major cardiovascular events and this rate ranged according with the quality of therapy. Strategies must be elaborated to improve the use of evidence-based therapies to minimize the cardiovascular events among the Brazilian population. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 114(6):995-1003)

Abstract

BackgroundDoor-to-balloon time (DBT) has become a measure of performance and is the focus in quality of care improvement initiatives. This study aimed to evaluate the association between DBT and its impact on hospital costs.MethodsPatients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention between 2008 and 2013 were divided according to the DBT < or ≥ 90minutes. All costs recorded at hospital discharge were adjusted by the Medical-Hospital Cost Variation Index.ResultsA total of 141 patients were included, grouped as DBT < 90minutes (n = 77) and DBT ≥ 90minutes (n = 64). DBT was 64.0 ± 14.1minutes and 133.8 ± 35.2minutes, respectively. There were no differences in clinical outcomes between the groups. The costs were R$ 34,883.24 ± 27,749.46, with the mean cost for DBT < 90minutes being R$ 33,194.24 ± 27,387.61 and the cost for DBT ≥ 90minutes R$ 36,947.58 ± 28,267.80 (p = 0.43). The costs, according to the culprit artery, were R$ 29,588.53 ± 16,358.85 for the right coronary artery; R$ 48,494.62 ± 44,015.04 for the left circumflex artery; and R$ 34,016.96 ± 26,503.94 for the left anterior descending artery. There was a difference between the costs of procedures related to the left circumflex artery when compared to the right coronary or left anterior descending arteries (p = 0.01), but there was no difference between the costs related to the right coronary, when compared to the left anterior descending artery (p = 0.68).ConclusionsThere was no difference in hospital costs regarding the private health insurance, when the groups were divided according to the DBT. Clinical outcomes were similar and a difference in costs was found for patients with the circumflex artery as the culprit vessel.

Abstract

RESUMOIntroduçãoO tempo porta‐balão (TPB) tornou‐se uma medida de desempenho e é foco de iniciativas de melhoria da qualidade assistencial. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a relação entre o TPB e seu impacto nos custos de internação hospitalar.MétodosPacientes tratados com intervenção coronária percutânea primária, entre 2008 e 2013, foram divididos de acordo com o TPB < ou ≥ 90 minutos. Todos os custos registrados na alta hospitalar foram ajustados por meio do Índice de Variação de Custos Médico‐Hospitalares.ResultadosForam incluídos 141 pacientes, agrupados em TPB < 90 minutos (n=77) e TPB ≥ 90 minutos (n=64). Os TPB foram 64,0 ± 14,1 minutos e 133,8 ± 35,2 minutos, respectivamente. Não foram observadas diferenças nos desfechos clínicos entre os grupos. Os custos foram de R$ 34.883,24 ± 27.749,46, sendo o custo médio para TPB < 90 minutos de R$ 33.194,24 ± 27.387,61, e para TPB ≥ 90 minutos, de R$ 36.947,58 ± 28.267,80 (p=0,43). Os custos, segundo a artéria culpada, foram de R$ 29.588,53 ± 16.358,85 para a coronária direita; R$ 48.494,62 ± 44.015,04 para a circunflexa; e de R$ 34.016,96 ± 26.503,94 para a descendente anterior. Houve diferença entre os custos dos procedimentos relativos à artéria circunflexa comparados aos da coronária direita ou da descendente anterior (p=0,01), mas não houve diferença entre os custos relativos à coronária direita, comparados à descendente anterior (p=0,68).ConclusõesNão houve diferença nos custos hospitalares, no âmbito da saúde suplementar, quando os grupos foram divididos de acordo com o TPB. Os desfechos clínicos foram semelhantes, e foi encontrada uma diferença de custos em pacientes com a artéria circunflexa culpada.ABSTRACTBackgroundDoor‐to‐balloon time (DBT) has become a measure of performance and is the focus in quality of care improvement initiatives.

Abstract

Introduction: The time interval between symptom onset and coronary artery reperfusion for ST-elevation myocardial infarction is directly related to patient morbidity and mortality. The guidelines stipulate that door-to-balloon time, i.e., the time spent between hospital arrival and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), must not exceed 90 minutes. Few hospitals achieve this goal. Thus, the objective of the present study was to assess the efficacy of the implementation of hospital work processes with respect to reducing the door-to-balloon time. Methods: Two [...]

Abstract

FUNDAMENTO: Sao escassos os registros documentando a pratica clinica brasileira na vigencia de uma sindrome coronaria aguda. OBJETIVOS: Descricao da demografia, ocorrencia de desfechos graves e analise comparativa dentre aqueles que efetivaram ou nao uma estrategia invasiva (cinecoronariografia e revascularizacao miocardica) em um registro brasileiro multicentrico de portadores de uma sindrome coronaria aguda. METODOS: O registro ACCEPT/SBC coletou prospectivamente, em 47 centros hospitalares brasileiros, pacientes na vigencia de uma sindrome coronaria aguda. Apresentamos a ocorrencia de desfechos clinicos graves, de modo integral, e de acordo com a submissao ou nao a um procedimento de revascularizacao do miocardio ao final dos primeiros 30 dias de seguimento. RESULTADOS: De agosto de 2010 ate dezembro de 2011, 2.485 pacientes foram incluidos neste registro. Destes, 31,6% eram portadores de angina instavel e 34,9% e 33,4%, com sindrome sem e com supradesnivel do segmento ST. Aos 30 dias, a submissao a procedimento de revascularizacao do miocardio foi progressivamente maior de acordo com a gravidade da apresentacao clinica (38,7% versus 53,6% versus 77,7%; p < 0,001). A ocorrencia de mortalidade cardiaca, dentre aqueles submetidos ou nao a revascularizacao miocardica, foi de 1,0% versus 2,3% (p = 0,268), 1,9% versus 4,2% (p = 0,070) e 2,0% versus 8,1% (p < 0,001), angina instavel, sindrome sem e com supradesnivel do segmento ST, respectivamente. CONCLUSOES: A prescricao de revascularizacao do miocardio foi progressivamente mais frequente de acordo com a gravidade da apresentacao clinica; naqueles atendidos na vigencia de sindrome coronaria sem e com supradesnivel do segmento ST, promoveu tendencia e reducao significativa da mortalidade, aos 30 dias, respectivamente.

Abstract

Background: The recommendations in guidelines are based on evidence; however, there is a gap between recommendations and clinical practice. Objective: To describe the practice of prescribing evidence-based treatments for patients with acute coronary syndrome in Brazil. Methods: This study carried out a subanalysis of the ACCEPT registry, assessing epidemiological data and the prescription rate of acetylsalicylic acid, p2y12 inhibitors, antithrombotic drugs, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin-receptor blockers (IAT1RB), and statins. In addition, the quality of myocardial reperfusion in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was evaluated. Results: This study assessed 2,453 patients. The prescription rates of acetylsalicylic acid, p2y12 inhibitors, antithrombotic drugs, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/IAT1RB, and statins were as follows: in 24 hours - 97.6%, 89.5%, 89.1%, 80.2%, 67.9% and 90.6%; and at six months - 89.3%, 53.6%, 0%, 74.4%, 57.6% and 85.4%, respectively. Regarding ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, only 35.9% and 25.3% of the patients underwent primary angioplasty and thrombolysis, respectively, within the recommended times. Conclusion: This registry showed high initial prescription rates of antiplatelet drugs, antithrombotic drugs, and statins, and lower prescription rates of beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/IAT1RB. Independently of the class, the use of all drugs decreased by six months. Most patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction did not undergo myocardial reperfusion within the time recommended.

Abstract

Background Several local registries have sought to individually depict clinical characteristics of patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF) in Brazilian hospitals and communities. Overall, the analysis of these data suggests that there are important differences in etiology, decompensation factors, treatment and prognosis of patients with HF in different Brazilian regions. Objectives To evaluate the demographic, clinical and prognostic characteristics of 1,200 patients admitted with a clinical diagnosis of decompensated HF in a group of 60 hospitals representative of the different Brazilian regions. Methods Transversal observational study (registry) with a longitudinal twelve-month follow-up (admission consultations, hospital discharge, three months, six months and twelve months after inclusion), in which patients admitted to public and private hospitals clinical with a primarily defined HF diagnosis will be studied. Results The results will be shown soon after data collection completion, quality assessment and statistical analysis. Conclusions The results of this multicenter registry will allow for a more appropriate planning of financial, technological and personal resource supply for the health care area, as well as the planning of more effective preventive measures in decompensated HF.
