ImportanceA composite score for guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for patients with heart failure (HF) is associated with increased survival. Whether hospital performance according to a GDMT score is associated with a broader array of clinical outcomes at lower costs is unknown.ObjectivesTo evaluate hospital variability in GDMT score at discharge, 90-day risk-standardized clinical outcomes and costs, and associations between hospital GDMT score and clinical outcomes and costs.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis was a retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2015 to September 2019. Included for analysis were patients hospitalized for HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in the Get With the Guidelines-Heart Failure Registry, a national hospital-based quality improvement registry. Study data were analyzed from July 2022 to April 2023.ExposuresGDMT score at discharge.Main Outcomes and MeasuresHospital variability in GDMT score, a weighted index from 0 to 1 of GDMT prescribed divided by the number of medications eligible, at discharge was evaluated using a generalized linear mixed model using the hospital as a random effect and quantified with the adjusted median odds ratio (AMOR). Parallel analyses centering on 90-day mortality, HF rehospitalization, mortality or HF rehospitalization, home time, and costs were performed. Costs were assessed from the perspective of the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services. Associations between hospital GDMT score and clinical outcomes and costs were evaluated using Spearman coefficients.ResultsAmong 41 161 patients (median [IQR] age, 78 [71-85] years; 25 546 male [62.1%]) across 360 hospitals, there was significant hospital variability in GDMT score at discharge (AMOR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.21-1.26), clinical outcomes (mortality AMOR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.14-1.24; HF rehospitalization AMOR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.18-1.27; mortality or HF rehospitalization AMOR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.18-1.26; home time AMOR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.06-1.10) and costs (AMOR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.21-1.26). Higher hospital GDMT score was associated with lower hospital mortality (Spearman ρ, -0.22; 95% CI, -0.32 to -0.12; P < .001), lower mortality or HF rehospitalization (Spearman ρ, -0.17; 95% CI, -0.26 to -0.06; P = .002), more home time (Spearman ρ, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.03-0.24; P = .01), and lower cost (Spearman ρ, -0.11; 95% CI, -0.21 to 0; P = .047) but not with HF rehospitalization (Spearman ρ, -0.10; 95% CI, -0.20 to 0; P = .06).Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this cohort study reveal that hospital variability in GDMT score, clinical outcomes, and costs was significant. Higher GDMT score at discharge was associated with lower mortality, lower mortality or hospitalization, more home time, and lower cost. Efforts to increase health care value should include GDMT optimization.

ImportanceRisk estimation is an integral part of cardiovascular care. Local recalibration of guideline-recommended models could address the limitations of existing tools.ObjectiveTo provide a machine learning (ML) approach to augment the performance of the American Heart Association's Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Events (AHA-PREVENT) equations when applied to a local population while preserving clinical interpretability.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study used a New England-based electronic health record cohort of patients without prior atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) who had the data necessary to calculate the AHA-PREVENT 10-year risk of developing ASCVD in the event period (2007-2016). Patients with prior ASCVD events, death prior to 2007, or age 79 years or older in 2007 were subsequently excluded. The final study population of 95 326 patients was split into 3 nonoverlapping subsets for training, testing, and validation. The AHA-PREVENT model was adapted to this local population using the open-source ML model (MLM) Extreme Gradient Boosting model (XGBoost) with minimal predictor variables, including age, sex, and AHA-PREVENT. The MLM was monotonically constrained to preserve known associations between risk factors and ASCVD risk. Along with sex, race and ethnicity data from the electronic health record were collected to validate the performance of ASCVD risk prediction in subgroups. Data were analyzed from August 2021 to February 2024.Main Outcomes and MeasuresConsistent with the AHA-PREVENT model, ASCVD events were defined as the first occurrence of either nonfatal myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, ischemic stroke, or cardiovascular death. Cardiovascular death was coded via government registries. Discrimination, calibration, and risk reclassification were assessed using the Harrell C index, a modified Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test and calibration curves, and reclassification tables, respectively.ResultsIn the test set of 38 137 patients (mean [SD] age, 64.8 [6.9] years, 22 708 [59.5]% women and 15 429 [40.5%] men; 935 [2.5%] Asian, 2153 [5.6%] Black, 1414 [3.7%] Hispanic, 31 400 [82.3%] White, and 2235 [5.9%] other, including American Indian, multiple races, unspecified, and unrecorded, consolidated owing to small numbers), MLM-PREVENT had improved calibration (modified Hosmer-Lemeshow P > .05) compared to the AHA-PREVENT model across risk categories in the overall cohort (χ23 = 2.2; P = .53 vs χ23 > 16.3; P < .001) and sex subgroups (men: χ23 = 2.1; P = .55 vs χ23 > 16.3; P < .001; women: χ23 = 6.5; P = .09 vs. χ23 > 16.3; P < .001), while also surpassing a traditional recalibration approach.

ImportanceThe epidemiological link between immune-mediated diseases (IMIDs) and cardiovascular disease has often been attributed to systemic inflammation. However, the direction of causality and the biological mechanisms linking cardiovascular disease with IMIDs are incompletely understood. Given the robust epidemiological association and the growing body of supportive mechanistic evidence, psoriasis is an exemplary IMID model for exploring this relationship.ObjectiveTo assess the bidirectional relationships between genetic predictors of psoriasis and the 2 major forms of cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke, and to evaluate the association between genetic predictors of cardiovascular disease with 9 other IMIDs.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis was a genetic association study using mendelian randomization (MR), a powerful genetic tool to help distinguish causation from associations observed in epidemiological studies, to provide supportive evidence for causality between traits. The study conducted 2-sample MR analyses using summary-level data from large-scale genome-wide association meta-analysis studies (GWAS) for each trait. The analysis focused on individuals of European descent from GWAS meta-analyses, involving CAD, stroke, psoriasis, and 9 other IMIDs. Data were analyzed from January 2023 to May 2024.ExposuresGenetic predictors of CAD, stroke, psoriasis, and 9 other IMIDs.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were the associations of genetic predictors of CAD and stroke with the risk of psoriasis and 9 other IMIDs, determined using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) MR estimates.ResultsThis study included 181 249 cases and 1 165 690 controls with CAD, 110 182 cases and 1 503 898 controls with stroke, 36 466 cases and 458 078 controls with psoriasis, for a total of approximately 3 400 000 individuals, and 9 other IMIDs. In contrast to previous assumptions, genetic predictors of psoriasis were found to have no association with CAD or stroke. In the reverse direction, genetic predictors of both CAD (MR estimate IVW odds ratio [OR], 1.07; 95% CI, 1.04-1.10; P = .003) and stroke (IVW OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.05-1.41; P = .01) were found to have risk-increasing associations with psoriasis. Adjusting for stroke rendered the associations of genetically predicted CAD with psoriasis risk nonsignificant (and vice versa), suggesting that a shared effect underlying genetic risk for CAD and stroke associates with increased psoriasis risk. No risk-increasing associations were observed for genetic predictors of cardiovascular disease with other common IMIDs, including rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.Conclusions and RelevanceFindings of this mendelian randomization study indicate that genetic predictors of cardiovascular disease were associated with increased psoriasis risk with no reciprocal effect or association with other IMIDs.

ImportanceSouth Asian adults in the US experience excess cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with other racial and ethnic groups. The effectiveness and reach of guideline-recommended lifestyle interventions have not been evaluated in this population.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether a culturally adapted, group lifestyle intervention will improve CVD risk factors more effectively than written health education materials among US South Asian adults.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis single-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted from March 6, 2018, to February 11, 2023 at community sites in the Chicago, Illinois, metropolitan area. South Asian adults aged 18 to 65 years who were overweight or obese, had no history of CVD events, and had at least 1 additional CVD risk factor (hypertension, dyslipidemia, prediabetes, or diabetes) were eligible for inclusion.InterventionA 16-week, culturally adapted, group-based lifestyle intervention led by community health coaches. Lifestyle modification counseling was delivered in English, Gujarati, Hindi, and Urdu. Participants tracked their diet and physical activity (PA) and received 4 optional group maintenance sessions between months 5 and 11 of follow-up. The intervention was delivered in person prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and via videoconference starting in March 2020. The control group received written health education materials, delivered monthly.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPrimary outcomes were the between-group differences in CVD risk factor changes from baseline to 12 months, including weight, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), glycated hemoglobin (HbA<jats:sub>1<jats:sc>c</jats:sc></jats:sub>), and total cholesterol, estimated using multivariate mixed-effects regression models. Secondary outcomes were self-reported diet quality, PA, and self-efficacy, estimated using univariate mixed-effects regression models.ResultsAmong 549 randomized participants, 318 (57.9%) were women, and mean (SD) participant age was 49.2 (9.5) years. Mean differences in CVD risk factor changes from baseline to 12 months in the intervention vs control group were calculated for weight (mean difference, −0.07 kg; 95% CI, −0.55 to 0.42), SBP (mean difference, 0.47 mm Hg; 95% CI, −1.85 to 2.79), DBP (mean difference, 0.44 mm Hg; 95% CI, −1.06 to 1.95), cholesterol (mean difference, −2.47 mg/dL; 95% CI, −8.51 to 3.57), and HbA<jats:sub>1<jats:sc>c</jats:sc></jats:sub> (mean difference, −0.07%; 95% CI −0.20% to 0.07%).
