C-reactive protein levels and outcomes in infarct-related cardiogenic shock: data from the ECLS-SHOCK trial

The impact of systemic inflammation in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) is still a matter of debate. The present ECLS-SHOCK sub-study investigates the association of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with short-term outcomes in patients with AMI-CS.Patients with AM...

Description
Summary:The impact of systemic inflammation in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) is still a matter of debate. The present ECLS-SHOCK sub-study investigates the association of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with short-term outcomes in patients with AMI-CS.Patients with AMI-CS enrolled in the multicentre, randomized ECLS-SHOCK trial between 2019 and 2022 were included. The prognostic impact of CRP levels on admission, as well as the effect of extracorporeal life support (ECLS), stratified by CRP levels, was tested with regard to the primary endpoint of 30-day all-cause mortality. In 371 patients with AMI-CS and available CRP level on baseline, the median CRP level was 18.0 mg/L. Patients with CRP levels in the highest tertile were older and less often resuscitated from cardiac arrest. The highest tertile (i.e. CRP >61.0 mg/L) was associated with an increased risk of 30-day all-cause mortality compared with patients with lower CRP levels (lowest tertile: ≤5.0 mg/L) [adjusted odds ratio: 3.54; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.88-6.68; P = 0.001]. The use of ECLS did not reduce 30-day all-cause mortality, irrespective of CRP levels on admission. The additional inclusion of CRP to the IABP-SHOCK II score was associated with a slight improvement of the prediction of 30-days all-cause mortality (area under the curve: 0.74; 95% CI 0.68-0.79).Higher CRP levels were independently associated with the risk of 30-day all-cause mortality in AMI-CS. The additional inclusion of CRP to a validated CS risk score may further improve the prediction of short-term prognosis.
