47 Retrospective analysis of the impact of full vs culprit only revascularisation in octogenarians with multi-vessel coronary artery disease

Abstract

year a total of 253 (24.5%) patients had died. The Kaplan-Meier curves in figure 1 demonstrate a positive association between mortality and increasing hs-cTnI concentrations relative to the ULN. Specifically, using the log-rank test, the mortality at one year was significantly higher (p<0.001) in patients with hs-cTnI concentrations above the ULN. Furthermore, on multivariable Cox regression analysis, the log(10)hs-cTnI concentration was independently associated with the hazard of one year mortality (hazard ratio 1.587 (95% confidence interval 1.358 -1.856). Conclusions These data suggest that admission hs-cTnI is a biomarker for one year mortality in critical care patients. Further work is now required to assess whether any medical intervention can alter this risk. Conflict of Interest All of these assays used in our studies were provided by Beckman Coulter but they had no other role in the studies 47
