Temporal trends and outcomes of peripheral artery disease revascularization and amputation among the HIV population.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

With antiretroviral therapy, people with HIV (PWH) are developing age-related diseases, including peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study examined frequency and outcomes of peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) and primary amputation in PWH.

Design

We used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to examine demographics, comorbidities, and temporal trends among PVI and primary amputation admissions by HIV status from 2012 to 2018.

Methods

Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to calculate adjusted odds of in-hospital death and amputation. Cost of hospitalization and length of stay were compared by HIV status and revascularization approach.

Results

Of the 347 824 hospitalizations for PVI/amputation, 0.6% were PWH, which was stable over time. PWH had more renal and hepatic disease, whereas uninfected individuals had more traditional PAD risk factors. 55.2% of HIV+ admissions were endovascular compared with 49.3% in HIV- admissions, and 28.9% of the HIV+ admissions were elective compared with 42.1% among HIV-. HIV status did not impact amputation following PVI. In-hospital death was similar between groups following PVI or primary amputation. PWH had lower costs of hospitalization and a trend towards shorter hospital stays.

Conclusion

Although PWH are developing more age-related chronic illnesses, the number of PAD-associated procedures has remained flat. Despite being younger with fewer traditional PAD risk factors, PWH had higher rates of unplanned PVI admissions and endovascular revascularization but similar in-hospital outcomes. These findings suggest PWH have different risk factors for PAD and are likely underdiagnosed and undertreated, whereas those who are treated have similar outcomes to the general population.

Project description:ImportanceThe prevalence and morbidity of peripheral artery disease (PAD) are high, with limb outcomes including revascularization and amputation. In community-dwelling patients with PAD, the role of noninvasive evaluation for risk assessment and rates of limb outcomes have not been established to date.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether ankle-brachial indices are associated with limb outcomes in community-dwelling patients with PAD.Design, setting, and participantsA population-based, observational, test-based cohort study of patients was performed from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2014. Data analysis was conducted from July 15 to December 15, 2017. Participants included a community-based cohort of 1413 patients with PAD from Olmsted County, Minnesota, identified by validated algorithms deployed to electronic health records. Automated algorithms identified limb outcomes used to build Cox proportional hazards regression models. Ankle-brachial indices and presence of poorly compressible arteries were electronically identified from digital data sets. Guideline-recommended management strategies within 6 months of diagnosis were also electronically retrieved, including therapy with statins, antiplatelet agents, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin-receptor blockers, and smoking abstention.Main outcomes and measuresAnkle-brachial index (index ≤0.9 indicates PAD; <.05, severe PAD; and ≥1.40, poorly compressible arteries) and limb revascularization or amputation.ResultsOf 1413 patients, 633 (44.8%) were women; mean (SD) age was 70.8 (13.3) years. A total of 283 patients (20.0%) had severe PAD (ankle-brachial indices <0.5) and 350 (24.8%) had poorly compressible arteries (ankle-brachial indices ≥1.4); 780 (55.2%) individuals with less than severe disease formed the reference group. Only 32 of 283 patients (11.3%) with severe disease and 68 of 350 patients (19.4%) with poorly compressible arteries were receiving 4 guideline-recommended management strategies. In the severe disease subgroup, the 1-year event rate for revascularization was 32.4% (90 events); in individuals with poorly compressible arteries, the 1-year amputation rate was 13.9% (47 events). In models adjusted for age, sex, and critical limb ischemia, poorly compressible arteries were associated with amputation (hazard ratio [HR], 3.12; 95% CI, 2.16-4.50; P < .001) but not revascularization (HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.69-1.20; P = .49). In contrast, severe disease was associated with revascularization (HR, 2.69; 95% CI, 2.15-3.37; P < .001) but not amputation (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 0.82-2.07; P = .27).Conclusions and relevanceCommunity-dwelling patients with severe PAD or poorly compressible arteries have high rates of revascularization or limb loss, respectively. Guideline-recommended management strategies for secondary risk prevention are underused in the community.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study reports all-payer amputation rates using state-based administrative claims data for high-risk patients with lower extremity (LE) ulcers and concomitant peripheral artery disease (PAD), diabetes mellitus (DM), or combination PAD/DM. In addition, we characterize patient factors that affect amputation-free survival. We also attempted to create a measure of a patient's ability to manage chronic diseases or to access appropriate outpatient care for ulcer management by accounting for hospital and emergency department (ED) visits in the preceding 60 days to determine how this also affects amputation-free survival.MethodsPatients admitted to nonfederal hospitals, seen in an ED, or treated in an eligible ambulatory surgery center within California from 2005 through 2013 with an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis code for a disease-specific LE ulcer were identified in the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development database. All subsequent hospital, ED, and ambulatory surgery center visits and procedures are captured to identify whether a patient underwent major amputation. Yearly amputation rates were determined to analyze trends. Amputation-free survival for the PAD, DM, and PAD/DM groups was determined. Cox modeling was used to evaluate the effect of patient characteristics.ResultsThere were 219,547 patients identified with an incident LE ulcer throughout the state. Of these, 131,731 were DM associated, 36,193 were PAD associated, and 51,623 were associated with both PAD and DM. From 2005 to 2013, the number of patients with LE ulcers who required inpatient admission, presented to the ED, or had outpatient procedures was stable. However, there was a statistically significant increase in overall disease-associated amputation rates from 5.1 in 2005 to 13.5 in 2013 (P < .001). Patients with PAD/DM had the greatest increase in amputation rates from 10 per 100 patients with LE ulcers in 2005 to 28 per 100 patients in 2013 (P < .001). Despite that patients with PAD/DM were 8 years younger than patients with PAD only, they had similar amputation-free survival. Within all age groups, men had worse amputation-free survival than women did. Race did not predict amputation-free survival, but having multiple prior ED or hospital admissions was a significant predictor of worse amputation-free survival.ConclusionsPotentially preventable amputations associated with high-risk diseases are increasing among patients who require inpatient hospital admission, present to the ED, or require outpatient interventional treatment. This trend is most notable among patients with a combination of PAD and DM. Patients with repeated hospitalizations before admission for the LE ulcer had the highest risk of amputation.
