Résumé

Nonagenarians are a fast-growing age group among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. While new therapeutic options have improved outcomes of ACS patients, data regarding very elderly ACS patients are limited. We aimed to evaluate temporal trends in the treatment and outcomes of nonagenarian ACS patients. Included were ACS patients aged below 90 years enrolled in ACS Israeli Survey. Patients were divided into two groups according to enrolment period: early (2000-2010) and recent (2012-2021). The primary endpoints were 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital and 1-year all-cause mortality. Included were 316 elderly ACS patients. Of them, 184 were enrolled in the early and 132 in recent surveys. Patients enrolled in the recent period were more commonly referred for an invasive strategy and more commonly received guideline-based medical therapy. All-cause mortality at 30 days was significantly lower in the recent group compared with the early group (12.5 and 26.1%, respectively, P = 0.005). Rates of 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events were also significantly lower in the recent group (21.9 and 35.9%, respectively, P = 0.012). Patients in the recent group received more aggressive medical therapy in discharge but at 30-day follow-up, no difference in medical treatment was observed in the two groups. There were no significant differences in 1-year mortality rates. Treatment of nonagenarians with ACS has improved over the past decade. Treatment improvement was associated with a significant improvement in 30-day outcomes without any effect in 1 year. Nevertheless, even with contemporary treatment, nonagenarians with ACS remain a high-risk group with high mortality rates.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Nonagenarians are a fast-growing age group among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. While new therapeutic options have improved outcomes of ACS patients, data regarding very elderly ACS patients are limited. We aimed to evaluate temporal trends in the treatment and outcomes of nonagenarian ACS patients.
METHODS METHODS
Included were ACS patients aged below 90 years enrolled in ACS Israeli Survey. Patients were divided into two groups according to enrolment period: early (2000-2010) and recent (2012-2021). The primary endpoints were 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital and 1-year all-cause mortality.
RESULTS RESULTS
Included were 316 elderly ACS patients. Of them, 184 were enrolled in the early and 132 in recent surveys. Patients enrolled in the recent period were more commonly referred for an invasive strategy and more commonly received guideline-based medical therapy. All-cause mortality at 30 days was significantly lower in the recent group compared with the early group (12.5 and 26.1%, respectively, P = 0.005). Rates of 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events were also significantly lower in the recent group (21.9 and 35.9%, respectively, P = 0.012). Patients in the recent group received more aggressive medical therapy in discharge but at 30-day follow-up, no difference in medical treatment was observed in the two groups. There were no significant differences in 1-year mortality rates.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Treatment of nonagenarians with ACS has improved over the past decade. Treatment improvement was associated with a significant improvement in 30-day outcomes without any effect in 1 year. Nevertheless, even with contemporary treatment, nonagenarians with ACS remain a high-risk group with high mortality rates.
