Comparison of clinical cardiovascular outcomes among smokers and non-smokers.
| References | Pt number | Pt characteristics | Parameter | Results |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MC Cruz et al. (11) | 2727 | ACS | Current smokers Never smokers |
Current smokers received more evidence-based treatments and had less in-hospital complications, in-hospital mortality and adverse outcomes at 1 year. More frequent percutaneous coronary intervention at 1 year was noted in current smoker |
| Weisz et al. (12) | 2082 | AMI | Former smokers Current smokers Never smokers |
The “smoker's paradox” extends to patients undergoing primary PCI for AMI, with increased survival seen in current smokers |
| Redfors et al. (13) | 2564 | STEMI | Recent smokers Never smokers |
In the present large-scale individual patient-data pooled analysis, recent smoking was unrelated to infarct size or microvascular obstruction, but was associated with a worse prognosis after primary PCI in STEMI. |
| Steele et al. (14) | 1796 | STEMI | Current smokers Ex-smokers Never-smokers |
No evidence of an association between mortality and smoking status in patients with acute STEMI treated with PCI, and thus no evidence of a “smoker's paradox.” |
| Ciccarelli et al. (15) | 713 | STEMI | Current smokers Non-smokers |
Not being a current smoker and ongoing DAPT at admission, in patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI, represent independent negative prognostic value. |
| Symons et al. (16) | 471 | STEMI | Smokers Non-smokers |
Smoking is strongly and independently associated with intramyocardial hemorrhage at baseline. smoking was an independent predictor of more favorable post-infarction LV remodeling. |
| Robertson et al. (17) | 13819 | NSTE-ACS | Smokers Non-smokers |
Smoking to be an independent predictor of higher 1-year mortality in patients presenting with NSTE-ACS and angiography study demonstrates CAD in smokers that is comparable to that in non-smokers but evident 1 decade earlier. |
| Amor-Salamanca et al. (18) | 563 | NSTE-ACS | Smokers Non-smokers |
Confirms the “smoking paradox” amongst NSTACS patients, which is explained by the lower prevalence of previous myocardial infarction, diabetes or multivessel disease |
