| Sumario: | Introduction and objectives: The presence of comorbidities in elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome worsens its prognosis. The objective of the study was to analyze the impact of the burden of comorbidities in the decision of using invasive management in these patients. Methods: A total of 7211 patients > 70 years old from 11 Spanish registries were included. Individual data were analyzed in a common database. We assessed the presence of 6 comorbidities and their association with coronary angiography during admission. Results: The mean age was 79 +/- 6 years and the mean CRACE score was 150 +/- 21 points. A total of 1179 patients (16%) were treated conservatively. The presence of each comorbidity was associated with less invasive management (adjusted for predictive clinical variables): cerebrovascular disease (OR, 0.78; 95%CI, 0.64-0.95; P =.01), anemia (OR, 0.64; 95%CI, 0.54-0.76; P <.0001), chronic kidney disease ( OR, 0.65; 95%CI, 0.56-0.75; P <.0001), peripheral arterial disease (OR, 0.79; 95%CI, 0.65-0.96; P =.02), chronic lung disease (OR, 0.85; IC95%, 0.71-0.99; P =.05), and diabetes mellitus (OR, 0.85; 95%CI, 0.74-0.98; P <.03). The increase in the number of comorbidities (comorbidity burden) was associated with a reduction in coronary angiographies after adjusting for the GRACE score: 1 comorbidity (OR, 0.66; 95%CI, 0.54-0.81), 2 comorbidities (OR, 0.55; 95%CI, 0.45-0.69), 3 comorbidities (OR, 0.37; 95%CI, 0.29-0.47), 4 comorbidities (OR, 0.33; 95%CI, 0.24- 0.45), = 5 comorbidities (OR, 0.21; 95%CI, 0.12-0.36); all P values <.0001 compared to 0. Conclusions: The number of coronary angiographies performed drops as the number of comorbidities increases in elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. More studies are still needed to know what the best management of these patients should be. |
