Prognostic Value of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate 3–6 Months after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

2020 
Background: The prognostic significance of follow-up (f/u) renal function for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unknown. This study sought to investigate the prognostic implications of f/u renal function in patients undergoing PCI. Methods: A drug-eluting stent registry was used. We divided patients into 4 groups according to the change in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) before PCI and 3–6 months after PCI. Patients with normal pre-PCI eGFR and f/u eGFR were assigned to group 1. Those with normal pre-PCI eGFR and abnormal f/u eGFR were assigned to group 2. Patients with abnormal pre-PCI eGFR and normal f/u eGFR were assigned to group 3. Patients with abnormal pre-PCI eGFR and f/u eGFR were allocated into group 4. Results: A total of 4,899 PCI patients were enrolled. The death rate in group 1, 2, 3, and 4 at 3 years was 2, 11, 4, and 9%, respectively. This showed significant differences between groups, except between groups 2 and 4. The prognosis of a group with aggravation from normal renal function was worse than that of a group with recovery from abnormal renal function. A prediction model that combines clinical risk factors and f/u eGFR has more power for predicting clinical outcomes than a combination of clinical risk factors and pre-PCI eGFR. Conclusion: Post-PCI eGFR was more accurate for predicting patient outcomes than pre-PCI eGFR.
