    Abstract: The chemokine CXCL16 (C-X-C motif ligand 16) is a scavenger receptor for OxLDL (oxidized low-density lipoproteins) and involved in inflammation at sites of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to investigate the association of CXCL16 with clinical outcome in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Approach and Results: Serial measurements of CXCL16 were performed in a subgroup of 5142 patients randomized in the PLATO trial (Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcome). Associations between CXCL16 and a composite of cardiovascular death, spontaneous myocardial infarction or stroke, and the individual components were assessed by multivariable Cox regression analyses. The hazard ratio per 50% increase in admission levels of CXCL16 analyzed as continuous variable was 1.64 (95% CI, 1.44–1.88), P 〈 0.0001. This association remained statistically significant after adjustment for randomized treatment, clinical variables, CRP (C-reactive protein), leukocytes, cystatin C, NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide), troponin T, GDF-15 (growth differentiation factor 15), and other biomarkers; hazard ratio 1.23 (1.05–1.45), P =0.0126. The admission level of CXCL16 was independently associated with cardiovascular death (1.50 [1.17–1.92], P =0.0014) but not with ischemic events alone, in fully adjusted analyses. No statistically independent association was found between CXCL16 measured at 1 month, or change in CXCL16 from admission to 1 month, and clinical outcomes. Conclusions: In patients with acute coronary syndrome, admission level of CXCL16 is independently related to adverse clinical outcomes, mainly driven by an association to cardiovascular death. Thus, CXCL16 measurement may enhance risk stratification in patients with this condition. Clinical Trial Registration: URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov . Unique identifier: NCT00391872

    Abstract: Elevated levels of osteoprotegerin, a secreted tumor necrosis factor–related molecule, might be associated with adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. We measured plasma osteoprotegerin concentrations on hospital admission, at discharge, and at 1 and 6 months after discharge in a predefined subset (n=5135) of patients with acute coronary syndromes in the PLATO (Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes) trial. Methods and Results The associations between osteoprotegerin and the composite end point of cardiovascular death, nonprocedural spontaneous myocardial infarction or stroke, and non–coronary artery bypass grafting major bleeding during 1 year of follow‐up were assessed by Cox proportional hazards models. Event rates of the composite end point per increasing quartile groups at baseline were 5.2%, 7.5%, 9.2%, and 11.9%. A 50% increase in osteoprotegerin level was associated with a hazard ratio ( HR ) of 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21–1.42) for the composite end point but was not significant in adjusted analysis (ie, clinical characteristics and levels of C‐reactive protein, troponin T, NT ‐pro BNP [N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide], and growth differentiation factor‐15). The corresponding rates of non–coronary artery bypass grafting major bleeding were 2.4%, 2.2%, 3.8%, and 7.2%, with an unadjusted HR of 1.52 (95% CI, 1.36–1.69), and a fully adjusted HR of 1.26 (95% CI, 1.09–1.46). The multivariable association between the osteoprotegerin concentrations and the primary end point after 1 month resulted in an HR of 1.09 (95% CI, 0.89–1.33); for major bleeding after 1 month, the HR was 1.33 (95% CI, 0.91–1.96). Conclusions In patients with acute coronary syndrome treated with dual antiplatelet therapy, osteoprotegerin was an independent marker of major bleeding but not of ischemic cardiovascular events. Thus, high osteoprotegerin levels may be useful in increasing awareness of increased bleeding risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome receiving antithrombotic therapy.

    Abstract: The Wnt/wingless signaling antagonist DKK1 (dickkopf-1) regulates platelet-mediated inflammation and may contribute to plaque destabilization. We hypothesized that DKK1 would be associated with cardiovascular outcomes. Approach and Results— We determined DKK1 levels in serum samples obtained before randomization, at discharge, and 1 and 6 months in a subset of 5165 patients with acute coronary syndromes in the PLATO trial (Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes; NCT00391872). The median (interquartile range) DKK1 concentrations were 0.61 (0.20–1.27) ng/mL at baseline and increased during follow-up. The hazard ratio (95% CIs) for the composite end point (cardiovascular death, nonprocedural spontaneous myocardial infarction, or stroke) during 1 year of follow-up, per 50% increase in baseline DKK1 concentration, was 1.06 (1.02–1.10), P =0.0011, and remained significant in fully adjusted analysis with 14 conventional clinical and demographic and 6 biochemical variables, including NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), hs-TnT (high-sensitivity troponin T), and GDF-15 (growth differentiation factor 15; 1.05 [1.00–1.09]; P =0.028). This association was mainly driven by the association with cardiovascular death, where a gradual increase in event rates was observed with increasing quartiles of DKK1 (2.7%, 3.0%, 4.3%, and 5.0%) and remained significant and unmodified in fully adjusted analysis (hazard ratio, 1.10 [1.04–1.17]; P =0.002). Change in DKK1 and levels at 1 month were unrelated to outcomes. A modifying effect of ticagrelor on DKK1 discharge levels was observed but not associated with prognosis. Conclusions— In patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with dual antiplatelet treatment, admission DKK1 levels were independently associated with a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke and with cardiovascular death alone.

    Abstract: There are no evidence-based recommendations on the optimal time point to initiate non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) after acute ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of early versus delayed initiation of NOAC in these patients. Methods: TIMING (Timing of Oral Anticoagulant Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke With Atrial Fibrillation) was a registry-based, randomized, noninferiority, open-label, blinded end-point study at 34 stroke units using the Swedish Stroke Register for enrollment and follow-up. Within 72 hours from stroke onset, patients were randomized to early (≤4 days) or delayed (5–10 days) NOAC initiation, with choice of NOAC at the investigators’ discretion. The primary outcome was the composite of recurrent ischemic stroke, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage, or all-cause mortality at 90 days. The prespecified noninferiority margin was 3%. Secondary outcomes included the individual components of the primary outcome. Results: Between April 2, 2017, and December 30, 2020, 888 patients were randomized to either early (n=450) or delayed (n=438) initiation of NOAC. No patient was lost to 90-day follow-up. Mean age was 78.3 years (SD, 9.9 years); 46.2% were women; 49.1% had previously known atrial fibrillation; and 17.5% prior stroke. The primary outcome occurred in 31 patients (6.89%) assigned to early initiation and in 38 patients (8.68%) assigned to delayed NOAC initiation (absolute risk difference, −1.79% [95% CI, −5.31% to 1.74%]; P noninferiority =0.004). Ischemic stroke rates were 3.11% and 4.57% (risk difference, −1.46% [95% CI, −3.98% to 1.07%]) and all-cause mortality rates were 4.67% and 5.71% (risk difference, −1.04% [95% CI, −3.96% to 1.88%] ) in the early and delayed groups, respectively. No patient in either group experienced symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Conclusions: Early initiation was noninferior to delayed start of NOAC after acute ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Numerically lower rates of ischemic stroke and death and the absence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhages implied that the early start of NOAC was safe and should be considered for acute secondary stroke prevention in patients eligible for NOAC treatment.

    Abstract: A goal for rehabilitation after stroke is to regain the ability to manage activities of daily living (ADL). The Swedish health care legislation recognizes that individuals bring unique sets of needs and preferences to encounters with the health care system, which should impact the services delivered. Consequently rehabilitation needs to be designed to meet each individual’s concern i.e., be client-centered. This implies interventions tailored to the client’s ability and perceived needs, services that take the client’s unique life-world experiences as the point of departure for goals and collaboration during the rehabilitation. However, studies on such services are scarce. Thus the aim was to compare a client-centered ADL intervention (CADL) to usual ADL training (UADL) regarding perceived participation, independence in ADL and life satisfaction at 3 months after inclusion. Methods: Sixteen rehabilitation units in Stockholm, Uppsala and Gävleborg, Sweden were randomly assigned to deliver either CADL or UADL to people in need of ADL rehabilitation after stroke. The occupational therapists (OT) who delivered the CADL were specifically trained. At 3 months perceived participation was assessed with the Stroke impact scale (SIS) and the Occupational Gaps questionnaire (OGQ), self-reported dependence in ADL with the Barthel Index (BI) and the Katz Extended ADL Index (KE), and life satisfaction with the LiSat-11. Number of contacts with an OT was collected in the clients’ medical records. Intention-to-treat analysis was applied. The significance level was set to 0.05. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01417585 . Results: Two hundred and eighty persons with stroke were included (CADL n=126, UADL n=154). The mean number of OT sessions in the CADL was 19 and 14 in the UADL group. There were no differences regarding SIS (p=0.64), OGQ (p=0.15), BI (p=0.06), KE (p=0.78) or in LiSat-11 (p=0.77). Conclusion: Albeit people with stroke who receive CADL tend to be more independent in ADL at 3 months it is likely that differences in perceived participation and life satisfaction will not be present until later. Thus there is a need to evaluate such services in the long term, their impact on significant others and qualitative studies of the clients’ experiences.
