Geographic Differences in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction in The PARADISE-MI Trial.
Geographic Differences in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction in The PARADISE-MI Trial. European journal of heart failure Butt, J. H., Claggett, B. L., Miao, Z. M., Jering, K.

The globalization of clinical trials has highlighted geographic differences in patient characteristics, treatments, and outcomes. We examined these differences in PARADISE-MI.23.0% were randomized in Eastern Europe/Russia, 17.5% in Western Europe, 12.2% in Southern Europe, 10.1% in Northern Europe, 12.0% in Latin America (LA), 9.3% in North America (NA), 10.0% in East/South-East Asia and 5.8% in South Asia (SA). Those from Asia, particularly SA, were different from patients enrolled in the other regions, being younger and thinner. They also differed in terms of comorbidities (high prevalence of diabetes and low prevalence of AF), type of MI (more often STEMI), and treatment (low rate of primary PCI). By contrast, patients from LA did not differ meaningfully from those randomized in Europe or NA. Use of ACE-inhibitor/ARB (34.8%) and beta-blockers (65.5%) was low in SA, whereas MRA use was lowest in NA (22%) and highest in Eastern Europe/Russia (53%). Rates of the primary composite outcome of cardiovascular death or incident HF varied two-fold among regions, with the lowest rate in SA (4.6/100person-years) and the highest in LA (9.2/100person-years). Rates of incident HF varied almost six-fold among regions, with the lowest rate in SA (1.0/100person-years) and the highest in Northern Europe (5.9/100person-years). The effect of sacubitril/valsartan was not modified by region.In PARADISE-MI, there were substantial regional differences in patient characteristics, treatments and outcomes. Although the generalizability of these findings to a "real-world" unselected population may be limited, these findings underscore the importance of considering both regional and within-region differences when designing global clinical trials.
