Associations of pre-hospital statin treatment with in-hospital outcomes and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with first acute coronary syndrome-findings from the CCC-ACS project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The current burden of dyslipidemia, the pre-hospital application of statins and the association of pre-hospital statins with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and in-hospital outcomes in Chinese patients with first acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are very significant and remain unclear.

Methods

A total of 41,183 patients who underwent coronary angiography and were diagnosed with ACS for the first time from a nationwide registry study (CCC-ACS) were enrolled. The severity of CAD was assessed using the CAD prognostic index (CADPI). The patients were classified into statin and non-statin groups according to their pre-hospital statin treatment status. Clinical characteristics, CADPI and in-hospital outcomes were compared, and a logistic regression analysis w
