Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease: A Nationwide Study of Veterans.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease represents a common crystalline arthritis with a range of manifestations. Our goal was to investigate risks for cardiovascular events in patients with CPPD.

Methods

We performed a retrospective matched cohort analysis in the Veterans Health Administration Corporate Data Warehouse, 2010-2014. CPPD was defined by ≥1 International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes for chondrocalcinosis or calcium metabolism disorder. CPPD patients were age- and sex-matched to approximately 4 patients without codes for CPPD; we excluded patients with a cardiovascular event during the 365 days prior to the index date. Demographic information, traditional cardiovascular risk factors, medications, and health care utilization were assessed at baseline. The primary outcome was a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE: myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, coronary revascularization, stroke, or death). Secondary outcomes included individual components of MACE. Cox proportional hazards models estimated fully adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs).

Results

We identified 23,124 CPPD patients matched to 86,629 non-CPPD patients with >250,000 person-years of follow-up. The study population was 96% male, mean age was 78 years, and 75% were White. The frequency of traditional cardiovascular risk factors was similar between the 2 cohorts. CPPD was not significantly associated with risk for MACE (HR 0.98 [95% CI 0.94-1.02]) in fully adjusted models, though risks of myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, and stroke were significantly higher in the CPPD cohort compared to the non-CPPD cohort.

Conclusion

CPPD did not confer an increased risk for MACE, a composite end point including all-cause mortality. Our results propose CPPD as a novel risk factor for MACE components, including myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, and stroke.

Project description:ObjectiveThe study objective was to examine the disease, demographic, and imaging features associated with different inflammatory phenotypes of calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease, ie, recurrent acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis, chronic CPP crystal inflammatory arthritis, and crowned dens syndrome (CDS).MethodsData from an international cohort (assembled from 25 sites in 7 countries for the development and validation of the 2023 CPPD classification criteria from the American College of Rheumatology/EULAR) that met the criteria were included. Three cross-sectional studies were conducted to determine the phenotypic characteristics of recurrent acute CPP crystal arthritis, chronic CPP crystal inflammatory arthritis, and CDS. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to calculate adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) to examine the association between potential risk factors and the inflammatory phenotype.ResultsAmong the 618 people included (56% female; mean age [standard deviation] 74.0 [11.9] years), 602 (97.4%) had experienced acute CPP crystal arthritis, 332 (53.7%) had recurrent acute arthritis, 158 (25.6%) had persistent inflammatory arthritis, and 45 (7.3%) had had CDS. Recurrent acute CPP crystal arthritis associated with longer disease duration (aOR 2.88 [95% CI 2.00-4.14]). Chronic CPP crystal inflammatory arthritis was associated with acute wrist arthritis (aOR 2.92 [95% CI 1.81-4.73]), metacarpophalangeal joint osteoarthritis (aOR 1.87 [95% CI 1.17-2.97]), and scapho-trapezo-trapezoid (STT) joint osteoarthritis (aOR 1.83 [95% CI 1.15-2.91]), and it was negatively associated with either metabolic or familial risk for CPPD (aOR 0.60 [95% CI 0.37-0.96]). CDS was associated with male sex (aOR 2.35 [95% CI 1.21-4.59]), STT joint osteoarthritis (aOR 2.71 [95% CI 1.22-6.05]), and more joints affected with chondrocalcinosis (aOR 1.46 [95% CI 1.15-1.85]).ConclusionCPPD disease encompasses acute and chronic inflammatory phenotypes, each with specific clinical and imaging features that need to be considered in the diagnostic workup.
