Abstract / Description of output
Background
Information from cardiac computed tomography angiography can be summarized using visual semi-quantitative scores. However, the optimal method and their prognostic utility is unknown.
Methods
Five semi-quantitative scores were calculated in the SCOT-HEART trial, including segment involvement score (SIS), segment stenosis score (SSS), CT Leaman (CT-LeSc), multivessel aggregate stenosis score (MVAS), and CAD-RADS 2.0 including plaque modifier (P). Prediction of fatal or non-fatal myocardial infarction and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was compared to the 10-year cardiovascular risk score.
Results
Imaging was performed in 1,769 individuals (age 58±10 years, 56% male) with 41 (2.3%) experiencing myocardial infarction and 74 (4%) MACE over 4.9±1.1 years. P based on calcium score and SIS had good agreement (weighted Cohen’s kappa 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79, 0.79). SIS, SSS, CT-LeSec, and MVAS performed similarly for the prediction of myocardial infarction (area under the curve [AUC] 0.74, 0.75, 0.75, 0.74, all p>0.1) and MACE (AUC 0.73, 0.74, 0.74, 0.73, all p>0.1), and were superior to the cardiovascular risk score (AUC 0.62 and 0.65, both p<0.001). High semi-quantitative scores were associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction and MACE, with the greatest adjusted risk associated with CT-LeSc≥8 (Hazard ratio [HR] 5.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.7, 11.6, p<0.001 and HR 5.2, 95% CI 3.1, 8.7, p<0.001 ) and SSS≥10 (HR 4.7, 95% CI 2.4, 8.9, p<0.001 and HR 5.3, 95% CI 3.3, 8.5, p<0.001).
Conclusions
Semi-quantitative scores performed similarly for the prediction of myocardial infarction and MACE, with all superior to the cardiovascular risk score.
