Abstract
Background: Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a cytokine responding to oxidative stress and inflammation, and it regulates appetite and energy balance. The association between GDF15 and clinical factors and its prognostic value in elderly multimorbid patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have not been well unknown.
Methods: This exploratory analysis is part of the Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction study (N=1231), an ongoing, prospective, multicentre observational study of acute decompensated HFpEF (UMIN000021831). A predefined subcohort of 212 patients underwent multi-biomarker testing. Of these, we analysed 181 patients with available GDF15 data. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and hospitalisation for HF.
Results: In this analysis population, the median age was 81 (75-85) years, with 48% male patients. GDF15 significantly correlated with cardiac burden, anaemia, renal dysfunction and inflammation. Notably, poor nutritional status was significantly associated with GDF15. GDF15 was linked to poor prognosis in this elderly multimorbid cohort with HFpEF (adjusted HR for log-transformed GDF15: 13.67, 95% CI: 2.78 to 67.22, p=0.001). Furthermore, GDF15 added significant incremental value to the MAGGIC risk score (net reclassification improvement=0.4955 (95% CI: 0.1367 to 0.8543), p=0.007; integrated discrimination improvement=0.0278 (95% CI: 0.0013 to 0.0543), p=0.040).
Conclusions: GDF15 was associated with anaemia, inflammation, renal dysfunction, cardiac burden and malnutrition. It demonstrated prognostic value in elderly multimorbid HFpEF patients, suggesting its potential role as a complementary marker for the prognostic risk assessment of HFpEF patients.
期刊介绍:
Open Heart is an online-only, open access cardiology journal that aims to be “open” in many ways: open access (free access for all readers), open peer review (unblinded peer review) and open data (data sharing is encouraged). The goal is to ensure maximum transparency and maximum impact on research progress and patient care. The journal is dedicated to publishing high quality, peer reviewed medical research in all disciplines and therapeutic areas of cardiovascular medicine. Research is published across all study phases and designs, from study protocols to phase I trials to meta-analyses, including small or specialist studies. Opinionated discussions on controversial topics are welcomed. Open Heart aims to operate a fast submission and review process with continuous publication online, to ensure timely, up-to-date research is available worldwide. The journal adheres to a rigorous and transparent peer review process, and all articles go through a statistical assessment to ensure robustness of the analyses. Open Heart is an official journal of the British Cardiovascular Society.
