ABSTRACT
AIM: To evaluate the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on hospital outcomes of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cohort prospective study of the COPD effect on mortality and coronary microvascular obstruction (CMVO, no-reflow) development after PCI in ACS was carried out. 626 patients admitted in 2019-2020 were included, 418 (67%) - men, 208 (33%) - women. Median age - 63 [56; 70] years. Myocardial infarction with ST elevation identified in 308 patients (49%), CMVO - in 59 (9%) patients (criteria: blood flow <3 grade according to TIMI flow grade; perfusion <2 points according to Myocardial blush grade; ST segment resolution <70%). 13 (2.1%) patients died. Based on the questionnaire "Chronic Airways Diseases, A Guide for Primary Care Physicians, 2005", 2 groups of patients were identified: 197 (31%) with COPD (≥17 points) and 429 (69%) without COPD (<17 points). Groups were compared on unbalanced data (÷2 Pearson, Fisher exact test). The propensity score was calculated, and a two-way logistic regression analysis was performed. The data were balanced by the Kernel "weighting" method, logistic regression analysis was carried out using "weighting" coefficients. Results as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: The conducted research allowed us to obtain the following results, depending on the type of analysis: 1) analysis of unbalanced data in patients with COPD: OR death 3.60 (1.16-11.12); p=0.03; OR CMVO 0.65 (0.35-1.22); p=0,18; 2) two-way analysis with propensity score: OR death 3.86 (1.09-13.74); p=0.04; OR CMVO 0.61 (0.31-1.19); p=0.15; 3) regression analysis with "weight" coefficients: OR death 12.49 (2.27-68.84); p=0.004; OR CMVO 0.63 (0.30-1.33); p=0.22. CONCLUSION: The presence of COPD in patients with ACS undergoing PCI increases mortality and does not affect the incidence of CMVO.
