Abstract

Background Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) still experience a high rate of in-hospital complications. Liver fibrosis (LF) is a risk factor for mortality in the general population. We investigated whether the presence of LF detected by the validated fibrosis 4 (FIB-4) score may indicate ACS patients at higher risk of poor outcome.Methods In the prospective ongoing REAl-world observationaL rEgistry of Acute Coronary Syndrome (REALE-ACS), LF was defined by a FIB-4 score> 3.25. We repeated the analysis using an APRI score> 0.7. The primary endpoint was in-hospital adverse events (AEs) including a composite of in-hospital cardiogenic shock, PEA/asystole, acute pulmonary edema and death.Results A total of 469 consecutive ACS consecutive patients were enrolled. Overall, 21.1% of patients had a FIB-4 score> 3.25. Patients with LF were older, less frequently on P2Y12 inhibitors (p = 0.021) and admitted with higher serum levels of white blood cells (p < 0.001), neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio (p < 0.001), C-reactive protein (p = 0.013), hs-TnT (p < 0.001), creatine-kinase MB (p < 0.001), D-Dimer levels (p < 0.001). STEMI presentation and higher Killip class/GRACE score were more common in the LF group (p < 0.001). 71 patients experienced 110 AEs. At the multivariate analysis including clinical and laboratory risk factors, FIB-4> 3.25 (OR 3.1, 95%CI 1.4-6.9), admission left ventricular ejection fraction% below median (OR 9.2, 95%CI 3.9-21.7) and Killip class >= II (OR 6.3, 95%CI 2.2-18.4) were the strongest independent predictors of in-hospital AEs. Similar results were obtained using the APRI score.Conclusion LF detected by FIB-4 score> 3.25 was associated with more severe ACS presentation and worse in-hospital AEs irrespective of clinical and laboratory variables.[GRAPHICS].
