Abstract: Objective To investigate the risk of recurrent acute coronary syndrome(ACS)in patients who had undergone coronary revascularization for ACS. Methods A real-world study was conducted using data from patients diagnosed with ACS in the Cheeloo Lifespan Electronic Health Research Data-library(Cheeloo LEAD), employing a cohort design based on propensity score matching(PSM). Patients who underwent coronary revascularization were classified as the exposure group, while those who did not undergo the procedure and received only drug therapy were assigned to the control group. L1-regularized PSM was used to control for confounding bias. Descriptive analyses were performed using the covariate description table and the description table of incidence density before and after matching. Kaplan-Meier(KM)survival curves were plotted, and the average causal effect(ACE)was estimated using the Cox proportional hazards regression model, and sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses were also conducted. Results After L1-regularized PSM, the majority of standardized differences for covariates were below 0.1, indicating substantially improved post-matching balance and comparability between the groups. The P-values for covariate differences increased significantly after matching, further supporting the effectiveness of the matching procedure. Among patients with recurrent ACS, the incidence density in males was slightly higher than that in females both before and after matching, and the ages at onset were predominantly between 75 and 80 years. After matching, the five-year survival rate in the exposure group was significantly lower than that in the control group [0.46(95%CI: 0.42-0.51)vs. 0.57(95%CI: 0.54-0.60)], and the difference in the KM survival curves between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). The Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that coronary revascularization was associated with an increased risk of recurrent ACS(HR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.19-1.61, P<0.05). The Schoenfeld residual test indicated that coronary revascularization met the proportional hazards assumption(χ2=3.53, P>0.05). The results of the sensitivity analyses and the subgroup analysis of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)were consistent with those of the primary analysis, whereas the association between coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG)and an increased risk of recurrent ACS was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusion Patients with ACS who undergo coronary revascularization may have a risk of recurrent ACS. In clinical practice, clinicians should consider patients individual risk factors and potential long-term outcomes, weigh the risks and benefits of coronary revascularization, optimize treatment strategies, and improve the long-term prognosis of patients.
