The Prognostic Implications of Living Alone on Long-Term Mortality in Patients with Chronic Coronary Syndrome after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
International heart journal(2023)
摘要
Living alone is associated with increased cardiac events and mortality in patients with acute myocardial in-farction. However, the prognostic impact of living alone with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) still remains unclear. In the present study, we examined the relationship between living alone and long-term mortality in pa-tients with CCS who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Consecutive 830 patients with CCS who underwent PCI were enrolled and divided into 2 groups according to whether or not they were living alone at the time of admission (living alone group and non-living alone group). We compared the clinical characteristics between the 2 groups and followed up cardiac mortality. The living alone group was younger compared with the non-living alone group (67.5 versus 70.7 years old, P = 0.017). The prevalence of comorbidities, including coronary risk factors, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, stroke, peripheral artery disease, coronary lesion characteristics, laboratory data, and left ventricular ejection fraction, were comparable between the 2 groups. During the follow-up period (median 1,622 days), 52 cardiac deaths oc-curred. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, cardiac mortality was significantly higher in the living alone group than in the non-living alone group (24% versus 11%, P = 0.008). In the multivariable Cox proportional hazard analyses after adjusting for possible confounding factors, living alone was an independent predictor of cardiac mortality (hazard ratio, 2.426, 95% confidence interval 1.225-4.804, P = 0.011). Among CCS patients who underwent PCI, living alone was associated with high long-term cardiac mortality.
