PG - 110206 LID - S0168-8227(22)01020-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.diabres.2022.110206 [doi] AB - AIMS: We aim to analyze the effect of liver fibrosis, assessed by the Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index, on cardiovascular events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: 6563 ACS patients undergoing PCI were analyzed in this study. Patients were divided into three groups according to literature-based FIB-4 cut-offs: < 1.45, 1.45-3.25, and >/= 3.25. RESULTS: During the median 2.4-year follow-up, 270 major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and 194 major bleeding were recorded. Intermediate or high FIB-4 scores were significantly associated with an elevated risk of MACCE, mortality, and MI but not associated with ischemic stroke and major bleeding. Further restricted cubic spline analysis showed that FIB-4 as a continuous variable was positively associated with an increased adjusted risk of MACCE. The results were consistent in subgroups with and without T2DM. CONCLUSIONS: Liver fibrosis staged by FIB-4 was correlated with an increased risk of MACCE, mortality, and MI in ACS patients who underwent PCI with and without T2DM. FIB-4 index may help risk stratification of ACS patients independent of T2DM status. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
