Abstract

Introduction:

The ABCD-GENE score, which includes Age, Body mass index, Chronic kidney disease (CKD; estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60 mL/min/1,73m2), Diabetes, and CYP2C19 GENE variants, is associated with high platelet reactivity (HPR) and increased risk for major cardiovascular events (MACE) in clopidogrel-treated patients following percutaneous coronary innervation (PCI); a score = 10 predicts increased risk. However, genotype information might not be available for patients undergoing PCI.

Research Question or Hypothesis:

We sought to determine if the ABCD score alone (without genotype) is predictive of risk for MACE in clopidogrel-treated patients after PCI.

Study Design:

Multi-center, cohort study

Methods:

The ABCD score was calculated for individuals treated with clopidogrel following PCI. Points are allocated as follows: 4 points for age>75 years, 4 points for BMI >30 kg/m², 3 points for diabetes, and 3 points for CKD. The primary outcome of MACE, defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or stent thrombosis, was compared between patients with an ABCD score <10 vs =10. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional-hazards regression was performed after adjusting for multiple factors (e.g., gender, smoking status, PCI indication, stent type, and site).

Results:

Of 2,770 patients included (mean age 64±12, 20% (n=567) Black, and 35% (n=968) female), 314 (11%) had a score =10. The risk of MACE was higher among patients with a score =10 vs <10 (10.2 vs 5.5 events per 100 patient-years, adjusted HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.30-2.90, P=0.001).

Conclusion:

An ABCD score of =10 was associated with an increased risk of MACE in post-PCI clopidogrel-treated patients. Whether alternative P2Y12 inhibitor therapy reduces this risk remains to be determined.
