目的:比较CHADS2和CHA2DS2-VASc评分对非瓣膜性心房颤动(NVAF)患者卒中和血栓栓塞发生风险的预测价值。方法:系统性检索Cochrane图书馆,EMBASE、EBSCO和PubMed数据库中有关CHADS2和CHA2DS2-VASc评分预测NVAF患者卒中和血栓栓塞发生风险的英文文献。采用STATA 12.0软件进行统计分析。结果:本研究共纳入11篇文献。当C-统计量作为连续型变量分析时,CHADS2评分C-统计量分布从0.650到0.717,中位数0.660;CHA2DS2-VASc评分C-统计量分布从0.637到0.724,中位数0.697,合并后C-统计量分别为0.66(0.66~0.67)和0.67(0.66~0.68)。当C-统计量作为分类型变量分析时,CHADS2评分C-统计量分布从0.586到0.722,中位数0.630;CHA2DS2-VASc评分C-统计量分布从0.521到0.850,中位数0.606,合并后C-统计量分别为0.65(0.62~0.67)和0.63(0.59~0.68),但存在高异质性,结果需慎重分析。CHA2DS2-VASc评分低危组的不良事件发生率明显比CHADS2评分低(0.54%:1.40%,P〈0.05),且将更多的患者划分到高危组(81.0%:46.0%,P〈0.05)。结论:CHADS2和CHA2DS2-VASc评分对NVAF患者卒中和血栓栓塞发生风险的预测价值相类似。但CHA2DS2-VASc评分更容易发现真正"低危"患者,且将更多的患者纳入高危组,有利于指导临床上预防性治疗。
Objective:To perform a meta-analysis of comparing the predictive abilities of stroke and thromboembolism between CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation(NVAF)patients.Method:The data were systematically retrieved by searching the Cochrane Library,PubMed and Embase databases to identify relevant cohort studies published in English,which reported the diagnostic performance of both CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores.The STATA 12.0software was used to perform the statistical analysis.Result:Eleven studies were included.When analyzed as a continuous variable,the C-statistic ranged from 0.650 to 0.717(median 0.660)for CHADS2 and 0.637 to 0.724(median 0.697)for CHA2DS2-VASc.The pooled C-statistics were0.65(0.62-0.67)and 0.63(0.59-0.68),respectively.When analyzed as a categorical variable,the C-statistic ranged from 0.586 to 0.722(median 0.630)for CHADS2 and 0.521 to 0.850(median 0.606)for CHA2DS2-VASc.The pooled C-statistics were(0.62-0.67)and 0.63(0.59-0.68),respectively.Due to the high heterogeneity across studies,the results should be interpreted cautiously.The average ratio of adverse event in the low-risk group of CHA2DS2-VASc was less than that of CHADS2(0.54% vs 1.40%,P〈0.05).The average proportion of the high-risk group of CHA2DS2-VASc was greater than that of CHADS2(81.0% vs 46.0%,P〈0.05).Conclusion:The CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores indicate similar clinical utility in predicting stroke and thromboembolism.However,the CHA2DS2-VASc score is much more advantageous in identifying extremely low-risk patients with NVAF.It also classifies a greater proportion of patients as high risk.This is beneficial in guiding the clinical preventive treatment.
