ObjectivesTo determine the incidence of HF in a prevalent COPD cohort. To determine the impact of incident HF on short- and long-term mortality of patients with COPD.MethodsCrude incidence of HF in the HF-na?ve primary care COPD population was calculated for each year from 2006-2016 using UK data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). Patients with COPD were identified using a validated code list and were required to be over 35 years old at COPD diagnosis, have a history of smoking, and have documented airflow obstruction. Office of National Statistics provided mortality data for England. Adjusted mortality rate ratios (aMRR) from Poisson regression were calculated for patients with COPD and incident HF (COPD-iHF) in 2006, 2011, and 2015 compared temporally and with patients with COPD and without incident HF (COPD-no HF) in those years. Regression was adjusted for age, sex, BMI, severity of airflow limitation, smoking status, history of cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.ResultsWe identified 95,987 HF-na?ve patients with COPD. Crude incidence of HF was steady from 2006-2016 (1.18 per 100 person-years (95%CI: 1.09, 1.27)). Patients with COPD-iHF experienced greater than threefold increase in one-year mortality and twofold increase in five-year and 10-year mortality compared with patients with COPD-no HF, with no change based on year of HF diagnosis. Mortality of patients with COPD-iHF did not improve over time, comparing incident HF in 2011 (1-year aMRR 1.26, 95%CI: 0.83, 1.90; 5-year aMRR 1.26, 95%CI: 0.98, 1.61) and 2015 (1-year aMRR 1.63, 95%CI: 0.98, 2.70) with incident HF in 2006.ConclusionsThe incidence of HF in the UK COPD population was stable in the last decade. Survival of patients with COPD and incident HF has not improved over time in England. Bespoke guidelines for the diagnosis and management of HF in the COPD population are needed to improve identification and survival of patients.IntroductionChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) are both systemic disorders that share risk factors and pathophysiological pathways, with the ability of either condition to exacerbate the other leading to increased healthcare costs PEVuZE5vdGU+PENpdGU+PEF1dGhvcj5Db3dpZTwvQXV0aG9yPjxZZWFyPjIwMTQ8L1llYXI+PFJl

Additionally, we investigated the impact of incident HF on short- and long-term mortality and on the underlying cause of death among patients with COPD in England.MethodsData sourceData were obtained from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), a primary care database of anonymised electronic health records from general practitioners representing 6.9% of the UK population and representative in terms of sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and ethnicity PEVuZE5vdGU+PENpdGU+PEF1dGhvcj5IZXJyZXR0PC9BdXRob3I+PFllYXI+MjAxNTwvWWVhcj48

HF was identified using a code list created by clinicians (Table E1). All patients with a diagnosis of HF (prevalent HF) prior to the start of follow up were excluded. Patients with incident HF were defined as those for whom the first occurrence of a HF diagnostic code in primary care occurred during the study period, 2006-2016. The start of follow-up was defined as the latest date of the following: 1) the date from which practice data was deemed eligible for research per CPRD, 2) the date from which the patient has continuous data, 3) the patient’s 35th birthdate, 4) the start of the study on 01 January 2006, or 5) the date of COPD diagnosis.CovariatesThe most recent measures for baseline characteristics were obtained at start of follow-up on 01 January 2006. BMI, in kg/m2, was measured continuously. Smoking was categorised as ‘current smoker’ and ‘former smoker’. Severity of airways limitation, within +/- 2 years of start of follow-up, was graded based on the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines and grouped as GOLD1 (mild), GOLD2 (moderate), GOLD3 (severe), and GOLD4 (severe-very severe) ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>GOLD</Author><Year>2017</Year><RecNum>9</RecNum><DisplayText>(20)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>9</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="9xdxprve7sdt96eerrovwfd3t002fvet0rfe" timestamp="1515502506">9</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Web Page">12</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>GOLD</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2017</title></titles><number>10 Jan 2018</number><dates><year>2017</year></dates><work-type>Webpage</work-type><urls><related-urls><url>;(20), validity of spirometry values has been previously assessed as high quality in CPRD PEVuZE5vdGU+PENpdGU+PEF1dGhvcj5Sb3RobmllPC9BdXRob3I+PFllYXI+MjAxNzwvWWVhcj48

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (21). History of cardiovascular disease included prior diagnosis of ischaemic heart disease, peripheral artery disease, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and/or stroke.Statistical analysesBaseline characteristics were expressed using mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables and percentages for categorical variables. We calculated sex, age group (35-64, 65-74, 75-84, and 85+ years), smoking status, and GOLD- specific, HF incidence rates per 100 person years at risk for each year (2006-2016) in patients with COPD.To isolate the effect of incident HF on mortality, we calculated crude mortality rate ratios (MRR) by comparing mortality rates at 1, 5 and 10 years of follow-up of patients with COPD with incident HF (COPD-iHF) versus patients with COPD without incident HF (COPD-no HF) for the same time period. For example, patients with COPD with HF diagnosed in 2006 were followed for 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year mortality and compared to patients with COPD without HF diagnosed in 2006. A Kaplan-Meier survivor curve was produced comparing patients with COPD with and without incident HF diagnosis in 2006 over 10 years of follow-up. Furthermore, adjusted mortality rate ratios (1-, 5- and 10-year rates) of patients with COPD with and without incident HF were calculated stratified by GOLD. Censoring was defined as death, transfer from practice, last date for which practice data was available, last date for which linked ONS data was available, or the end of the study (Figure E1).For the analysis of temporal trends in the short term mortality rates of patients with COPD-iHF, crude MRR were calculated comparing 1-year mortality rates of patients with COPD-iHF in 2011 and 2015, with patients with COPD-iHF in 2006 as the reference. Additionally, trends in long-term mortality rates (i.e., 5-year mortality rates) were evaluated by comparing 5-year mortality rates of patients with COPD-iHF in 2011 with the 5-year mortality rate of patients with COPD-iHF in 2006. This analysis was performed to evaluate the changes in the management of incident HF over a decade among patients with COPD. Mortality rate ratios adjusted for age, sex, BMI, GOLD, smoking status, history of cardiovascular disease, and diabetes (aMRR) were estimated using Poisson regression. Robust variance estimates were used in the Poisson regression to account for clustering on general practice (GP).Cause of deathONS mortality data was analysed to assess the trends in the cause of death for COPD-iHF and COPD-no HF over a decade (2006-2010 and 2011-2016). Cause of death by severity of airflow limitation (GOLD1-2 vs GOLD3-4) was also assessed from 2006-2016 for COPD-iHF in 2006. ONS derives the underlying cause of death from death certificates using standardised guidelines and coded using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10) ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Devis</Author><Year>1999</Year><RecNum>66</RecNum><DisplayText>(22)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>66</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="9xdxprve7sdt96eerrovwfd3t002fvet0rfe" timestamp="1516028051">66</key><key app="ENWeb" db-id="">0</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Devis, T</author><author>Rooney, C</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>Death certification and the epidemiologist</title><secondary-title>Health Statistics Quarterly</secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title>Health Statistics Quarterly</full-title></periodical><volume>1</volume><number>21-33</number><dates><year>1999</year></dates><urls></urls></record></Cite></EndNote>(22).Ethics approvalProtocols for this research were approved by the Independent Scientific Advisory Committee (ISAC) for MHRA Database Research (protocol numbers: 18_006R2 and 18_074RARA2) and the approved protocols were made available to the journal and reviewers during peer review. Generic ethical approval for observational research using the CPRD with approval from ISAC has been granted by a Health Research Authority (HRA) Research Ethics Committee (East Midlands – Derby, REC reference number 05/MRE04/87).ResultsBaseline CharacteristicsWe identified 95,987 patients with COPD without a HF diagnosis at the start of follow-up (Figure 1). Patients with COPD-iHF were more likely to be older, male, obese, former smokers and have moderate to severe airflow limitation (Table 1) compared to patients with COPD-no HF. Patients with COPD-iHF were more likely to have traditional risk factors for HF including atrial fibrillation, diabetes, hypertension, and vascular disease (ischaemic heart disease and/or peripheral artery disease) at the start of follow-up. Average length of follow up and the descriptive information regarding the 2006, 2011, and 2015 COPD-iHF cohorts and their comparator COPD-no HF cohorts are outlined in Tables E2-E5.Incidence of HF among patients with COPD The crude incidence of HF in the COPD population was steady from 2006 to 2016 (Figure 2; Supplementary Table 6), averaging 1.18 per 100 person-years (95%CI: 1.09, 1.27). The incidence of HF was higher for males compared with females, at older ages, for former smokers compared with current smokers, and for patients with higher airflow limitation (GOLD3-4 vs GOLD1-2) (Tables E7-E10).MortalityComparison of mortality rates; COPD-iHF vs COPD-no HF The crude 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year mortality rates for patients with COPD-iHF and COPD-no HF in 2006, 2011, and 2015, as appropriate, can be found in Supplementary Tables 11-13. In 2006, patients with COPD-iHF experienced over three times greater 1-year mortality than patients with COPD-no HF (Figure 3a; Table E14). The trends where similar in 2011 and 2015 (Figure 3a; Table E14). Patients with COPD-iHF in 2006 experienced a greater than two-fold increase in 5-year mortality compared with COPD-no HF in 2006, with similar trends observed in 2011 (Figure 3b; Table E14). Similarly, incident HF was associated with a two-fold increase in 10-year mortality among COPD patients compared with those without incident HF (Figure 3c; Table E14). The difference in mortality rates between patients with COPD-iHF diagnosed in 2006 compared to patients with COPD without incident HF in 2006 was consistent over 10 years of follow-up (Figure 4).Comparison of mortality rates COPD-iHF vs COPD-no HF stratified by severity of airflow limitationThere was a non-significant trend towards higher 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year mortality in patients with COPD-iHF with more severe airflow limitation (Figure 5a, 5b, and 5c). The overall 1-year, 5-year and 10-year mortality rates of patients with COPD-iHF were significantly higher than the COPD-no HF patients, regardless of severity of airflow limitation (Figure 5a, 5b and 5c; Table E15).Temporal trends in the mortality rates of patients with COPD-iHF from 2006 to 2016 COPD-iHF patients in 2011 and 2015 experienced 1-year mortality rates that was no different from those patients with COPD-iHF in 2006 (Figure 6a; E16). Similarly, the 5-year mortality rate among patients with COPD-iHF in 2011 was no different than seen in patients with COPD-iHF in 2006 (Figure 6b; Table E16).Causes of deathThere was no difference in the proportion of deaths attributed to cardiovascular causes in patients with COPD-iHF in 2011 vs patients with COPD-iHF in 2006 (42% vs 39%) (Figure 7). Approximately one third of all deaths were attributed to COPD, regardless of whether a patient experienced incident HF or not (Table E17). Among those with COPD-iHF, over 10 years of follow-up, the proportion of deaths attributed to cardiovascular causes was not affected by severity of airflow limitation (33% GOLD1-2 vs 33% GOLD3-4; Figure 7).DiscussionThis study of a large, nationally representative population in the UK over one decade provides vital insights into trends in the incidence of HF within the primary care COPD population. We also investigate the impact of incident HF on mortality among patients with COPD and how this has changed over time and with the severity of airflow limitation.The major findings of the study could be summarised as follows: 1) in the UK, the crude incidence of HF in the COPD population was 1.18 per 100 persons years and this has remained steady over the past decade; 2) in patients with COPD, the incidence of HF was much higher among men, the elderly, and those with severe airflow limitation (GOLD3-4); 3) in patients with COPD, incident HF was associated with a greater than three-fold increase in 1-year mortality and a two-fold increase in 5- and 10-year mortality compared with those who did not develop HF; and 4) the effect of incident HF on the short- and long-term mortality of patients with COPD did not improve over time, nor was it different in relation to severity of airflow limitation.COPD and the risk of incident HF: mechanistic explanationPrevious studies have demonstrated an association between COPD and incident HF. A large population-based study of patients in the community revealed a linear relationship between severity of airflow obstruction and impaired left ventricular filling without significant changes in left ventricular ejection fraction ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Graham Barr</Author><Year>2010</Year><RecNum>23236</RecNum><DisplayText>(23)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>23236</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="9xdxprve7sdt96eerrovwfd3t002fvet0rfe" timestamp="1563867105">23236</key><key app="ENWeb" db-id="">0</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Graham Barr, R.</author><author>Bluemke, D.

Crude incidence was higher in males, at older ages, in former smokers, and in those with more severe airflow limitation (GOLD3-4). Higher crude incidence in former smokers and in those with more severe airflow limitation may, at least in part, be attributed to age as older persons are more likely to be former smokers than current smokers and have more severe disease than younger persons. The stable incidence of HF in the past decade observed in our study could be a consequence of under recognition and lack of improvement in the diagnosis of HF in patients with COPD. It has previously been demonstrated that HF is often underdiagnosed in the COPD population PEVuZE5vdGU+PENpdGU+PEF1dGhvcj5Cb3VkZXN0ZWluPC9BdXRob3I+PFllYXI+MjAwOTwvWWVh

In contrast to HFrEF, where the diagnosis is reasonably straightforward, the diagnosis of HF preserved ejection fraction is cumbersome, especially in patients presenting with dyspnoea and multiple co-morbidities.

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (41). As previous research has shown that HF is often under-diagnosed in the COPD population and that patients with COPD experience higher risk for HF than the general population, the lack of a similar trend in HF incidence in the COPD population as seen in the general population suggests that HF may still be under-recognised.Impact of incident HF on mortality in COPD patientsIn patients with COPD, incident HF was associated with a greater than three-fold increase in 1-year mortality rate and a two-fold increase in 5-year and 10-year mortality rates. While the incidence of HF was higher in patients with severe airflow limitation, the impact of incident HF on mortality was not modified by the degree of airflow limitation. The effect of incident HF on the mortality of patients with COPD did not improve over time, contrary to improved survival following incident HF in the general population PEVuZE5vdGU+PENpdGU+PEF1dGhvcj5UYXlsb3I8L0F1dGhvcj48WWVhcj4yMDE5PC9ZZWFyPjxS

Our findings underscore the importance of identification of HF in patients with COPD early in the course of the disease where initiation of disease-modifying HF therapy, especially in HF reduced ejection fraction, may improve long term outcomes.Causes of death and temporal trends in cardiovascular mortality among COPD-iHF There no difference in cardiovascular mortality in patients with COPD-iHF over the study period.

ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA (18); however, although no validation of a case definition for HF has been undertaken in CPRD we used Read codes reviewed by two cardiologists and two respiratory physicians. Another limitation is that measurements of ejection fraction and biomarkers used to determine the severity or type of HF are not available in CPRD data. As we cannot determine type of HF reliably, we are unable to determine if patients with HF reduced ejection fraction are being managed according to guidelines.ConclusionsThe incidence of HF in the UK primary care COPD population in the last decade was steady, contrary to increasing incidence of HF seen in the general population of the UK ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Conrad</Author><Year>2017</Year><RecNum>225</RecNum><DisplayText>(10)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>225</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="9xdxprve7sdt96eerrovwfd3t002fvet0rfe" timestamp="1520603542">225</key><key app="ENWeb" db-id="">0</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Conrad, Nathalie</author><author>Judge, Andrew</author><author>Tran, Jenny</author><author>Mohseni, Hamid</author><author>Hedgecott, Deborah</author><author>Crespillo, Abel Perez</author><author>Allison, Moira</author><author>Hemingway, Harry</author><author>Cleland, John G.</author><author>McMurray, John J.

Patients with COPD-iHF experienced a significantly higher mortality than patients with COPD-no HF. The mortality rates in England of patients with COPD-iHF have not improved over the last decade, indicating that patients with COPD-iHF have not seen the same increases in survival previously seen in the general population with incident HF PEVuZE5vdGU+PENpdGU+PEF1dGhvcj5UYXlsb3I8L0F1dGhvcj48WWVhcj4yMDE5PC9ZZWFyPjxS

Our results, coupled with previous research, suggest that HF remains under-diagnosed in the COPD population and that, when recognised, may be under-treated resulting in poorer survival. Bespoke clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of HF in the presence of COPD, and implementation tools with audit to support quality improvement, are needed in order to improve diagnosis and outcome.References ADDIN EN.REFLIST 1.Cowie MR, Anker SD, Cleland JGF, Felker GM, Filippatos G, Jaarsma T, et al.
