Outcomes of the First Episode of STEMI in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients from the National Inpatient Sample Database, 2016-2019.
Current Problems in Cardiology 2022 October
Patients with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a higher burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but conflicting results were seen regarding in-hospital outcomes of STEMI in patients with RA compared to patients without RA. Our study aimed to compare in-hospital outcomes of the first episode of STEMI between patients with and without RA. The NIS database was used to conduct a retrospective study of U.S. hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of first-time STEMI from 2016 to 2019. We divided our study population into two cohorts, with diagnosis codes for RA and those without RA and compared baseline demographics, comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes and finally performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis after adjusting for baseline factors. Our analysis revealed that patients with RA were statistically more likely to be older, white, and female and had more hypertension, cardiomyopathy, CKD stage 3 or greater and heart failure. After adjusting for potential confounders, we found lower inpatient mortality in the first STEMI with RA cohort (adjusted OR: 0.70, 95% CI of 0.56-0.87, p <0.002) compared to the patients without RA. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in rates of in-hospital complications, including repeat MI, acute heart failure, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, and stroke. Further patient-level studies are needed to understand better the impact of newer biologics and the effect of risk factor modification on this patient subset.
