Fri0553 development and validation of a biomarker-based cardiovascular risk prediction score in rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are at elevated risk for cardiovascular (CV) events, but risk stratification based on CV prediction models is not part of routine rheumatology practice. Objectives: To develop and validate a biomarker-based CV risk prediction model and compare it to alternative risk prediction models. Methods: We constructed a cohort of RA patients - age ≥40 with ≥1 RA diagnosis from a rheumatologist, excluding patients with malignancy, past myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke - by linking Medicare administrative data from 2006-2016 to multi-biomarker disease activity (MBDA) test results obtained as part of routine care. The cohort was split 2:1 to create training and internal validation datasets. The composite CV outcome was MI, stroke or CV death occurring within 3 years. Clinical predictors examined were: age, sex, race, traditional CV risk factors (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, high-risk CV conditions [e.g. angina]), RA-related factors (e.g. glucocorticoid use, MTX, number of prior biologics), adjusted MBDA score1 and its 12 biomarkers, log-transformed. Backward elimination was used to remove predictors with p ≥0.05. The resulting CV risk score was compared to four prediction models (age+sex; age+sex+CRP; age+sex+diabetes+hypertension+ smoking+high risk CV [±CRP]) in the validation dataset. We evaluated: 1) incremental improvement in the likelihood ratio test (LRT) statistic, 2) discrimination (AUROC), and 3) goodness-of-fit (predicted vs. observed, based on Kaplan-Meier estimates). Validation analyses were prespecified. Results: 30,751 RA patients with 904 CV events were linked to MBDA test results and eligible for analysis. Patient characteristics were mean (SD) age 68.7 (9.5) years; 23.4% age Compared to four simpler CV prediction models, significant improvement in the LRT statistic was observed with the addition of the biomarker-based CV risk score (Figure 1). Model fit was good across deciles (Figure 2). The AUROC was 0.70. The MBDA-based model reclassified 28.5% of patients vs. the model based on age+sex+diabetes+hypertension +smoking+high risk CV+CRP. Conclusion: A biomarker-based prediction score incorporating a few clinical risk factors appears to have good accuracy to predict CV risk in RA. Additional validation in independent cohorts will help verify its performance characteristics. References: [1] Curtis et al., Rheumatology 2018;58:874.
