摘要
Risk assessment for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) utilizing noninvasive prognostic variables could be more practical in real-world scenarios, especially at follow-up re-evaluations. Patients who underwent comprehensive evaluations both at baseline and at follow-up visits were enrolled. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Predictive variables identified by Cox analyses were further incorporated with the French noninvasive risk prediction approach. A total of 580 PAH patients were enrolled. During a median follow-up time of 47.0 months, 112 patients (19.3%) died. By multivariate Cox analyses, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), TAPSE/pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP), and CPET-derived peak oxygen consumption (VO2) remained independent predictors for survival. Regarding the French noninvasive risk prediction method, substituting N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) with the newly derived low-risk criteria of a TAPSE ≥ 17 mm or a TAPSE/PASP > 0.17 mm/mmHg, or alternating six-minute walking distance with a peak VO2≥ 44 %predicted retained the discrimination power. When recombining the low-risk criteria, the combination of World Health Organization functional class (WHO FC), TAPSE and peak VO2 at baseline, and the combination of WHO FC, NT-proBNP and peak VO2 at follow-up showed better discriminative ability than the other combinations. In conclusion, Peak VO2, TAPSE and TAPSE/PASP are significant prognostic predictors for survival in PAH, with incremental prognostic value when incorporated with the French noninvasive risk prediction approach, especially at re-evaluations. For better risk prediction, WHO FC, at least one measurement of exercise capacity and one measurement of right ventricular function should be considered. This article is protected by copyright.
