OBJECTIVES:

TRIO Health PH registry differentiates from existing registry populations (COMPERA/ASPIRE/REVEAL) in consisting of patients managed in the modern era.

METHODS:

TRIO Health PH registry contains retrospective clinical and prescription data from eight US tertiary care centers. Descriptive and statistical analyses (ANOVA, Tukey’s studentized range procedure, Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test) were conducted for 725/1000 registry patients, enrolled July 2019-October 2020, among group 1 - pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and group 4 - chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).

RESULTS:

Study etiologic subgroups: idiopathic (IPAH, 34%, 243), connective tissue disease (APAH-CTD, 29%, 210), Drugs & Toxins (11%, 80), congenital heart disease (APAH-CHD, 6%, 46), and CTEPH (5%, 37)

At enrollment, patients had NYHA functional class II (46%, 253/554) or III (42%, 233/554) symptoms

Common comorbidities were: Hypertension in Drugs & Toxins (51%, 41), CTEPH (49%, 18), IPAH (39%, 95), APAH-CTD (38%, 79 ); obstructive sleep apnea in APAH-CHD (17%, 8), Overweight/obesity among CTEPH (81%, 30) and Drugs & Toxins (75%, 60)

Mean 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) was highest for Drugs & Toxins (381.3 m , n=73) and lowest for APAH-CTD (301.8 m, n=189). Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) was higher in APAH-CHD (48.6 mmHg, n=41) and Drugs & Toxins (47.9 mmHg, n=75) compared to APAH-CTD (40.6 mmHg, n=196) and CTEPH (38.6 mmHg, n=33). Mean pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was significantly higher in IPAH (366.7 dynes-sec/m5, n=212) vs. CTEPH (136.2 dynes-sec/m5, n=33). Mean diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), % predicted was lowest in CTD (40.6%, n=118) and IPAH (53.8%, n=155)

CONCLUSIONS:

Overall cohort enrollment characteristics, including NYHA functional class II/III, reduced 6MWD (<400m), and elevated BNP, indicate a compromised group at intermediate risk for clinical progression. Continued evaluation will elucidate disease impact on survival, current clinical practices, and place for precision medicine.
