1 Supplementary Online Content Navarese EP, Robinson JG, Kowalewski M, et al. Association between baseline LDL-C level and total and cardiovascular mortality after LDL-C lowering: a systematic review and meta-analysis. JAMA. doi: /jama etables 1-12 efigures 1-22 ereferences This supplementary material has been provided by the authors to give readers additional information about their work.
2 Supplementary Table 1. METHODS and MEDLINE Search Strategy. What is known Evidence has consistently shown that statins reduce total cardiovascular events, and that further low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering by intensifying statin therapy, adding ezetimibe, or adding a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibiting monoclonal antibody (PCSK9 mab) provided incremental additional reduction in cardiovascular risk More recent trials have not demonstrated trends in reductions in mortality events. Data Sources and Searches The following databases were searched: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and Embase; TCTMD ( ClinicalTrials.gov, Clinical Trial Results ( and major congress proceedings, from database inception until 1 st February The following keywords were used: lipidlowering, statin, ezetimibe, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) antibody, randomized controlled trial (RCT), and hypercholesterolemia. The results of the MEDLINE electronic search are reported in full in Supplementary Table 1. Citations were screened at title/abstract level and retrieved as full reports if considered relevant. Finally, we verified our search by cross-checking systematic reviews and meta-analyses on lipid lowering strategies. Study Selection The main inclusion criteria were: (1) randomized trials including at least 1,000 patients receiving the allocated pharmacological LDL-C lowering strategy for a minimum of 48 weeks, (2) The included interventions had to be statins and/or nonstatin therapies in combination with a statin; specifically either ezetimibe or PCSK9 inhibitors, (3)The study had to report cardiovascular outcomes of interest. We excluded studies if: (1) the nonstatin intervention did not reduce LDL-C levels primarily through upregulation of LDL receptor expression (i.e., trials of fibrates, niacin, cholesteryl ester transfer protein [CETP] inhibitors were excluded); (2) the study population focused on participants with significant competing risks (i.e., heart failure or end-stage renal disease or 3) headto-head comparisons of different groups of drugs in monotherapy. Data Extraction and Quality Assessment Two investigators (MK and MK) who were not involved in any of the selected trials independently abstracted the data using prespecified forms. Two investigators (MK and MK) then independently appraised the accuracy of the abstractions and resolved any discrepancies by consensus after discussion with a third investigator (EPN). Two unblinded investigators (MK and MK) independently appraised the potential risks of bias of the RCTs using methods described in the Cochrane Collaboration guidelines. Any divergences in the bias assessment were than reported and summarized as Cohen s Kappa (Supplementary Table 2). More intensive therapy was defined as the more potent pharmacological strategy while less intensive therapy corresponded to the control group of the original trial. Mean or median baseline and final LDL-C values were abstracted for both treatment groups. Clinical endpoints included all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), cerebrovascular events (Supplementary Table 3), revascularizations (coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary or other arterial percutaneous interventions), and major cardiovascular events (MACE; Supplementary Table 4). Event rates reported in the trial manuscript were abstracted if available; if not reported, then event rates from the 2010 CTT meta-analysis of statin trials were used 1. Data Synthesis and Statistical Analysis Trial level data were analyzed according to the original randomization group for which outcome data were available. The co-primary endpoints were total mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Secondary endpoints included myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular events, revascularizations and MACE. To account for potential differences in study duration and drug exposure, rate ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs derived from an analysis with adjusted models by person-years used as summary statistics, a measure incorporating trial duration.
3 Absolute risk differences (ARD) between the 2 treatment groups were expressed as incident events per 1000 person years. Random effects meta-regression with baseline LDL-C as covariate was used for the main model, with additional co-variates added in the adjusted analyses. Statistical heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran Q test and the I 2 statistic 18. Pooled RRs were calculated using a random-effects model. Random effects meta-analyses were performed for prespecified LDL-C subgroups. Stratified analyses were prespecified for commonly used clinical cut-points of mean baseline LDL-C (<100, , , and >160 mg/dl were those used in the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel 3 as LDL-C cutpoints. Prespecified mean difference between final LDL-C levels in the more intensive and less intensive study arms were <35 md/dl, mg/dl and >65 mg/dl. Additional stratified sensitivity analyses were based on type of agent used in the treatment groups (statin vs statin+ezetimibe, PCSK9 antibody), treatment in the control group (active vs placebo) and population (primary or secondary). Potential publication bias was examined by constructing a funnel plot in which the SE of the log RR was plotted against the RR. The asymmetry of the plot was estimated both visually and by a linear regression approach 19. By means of random effects meta-regression models we investigated the impact of baseline LDL-C levels on the RR of all investigated endpoints 20. Supplemental multivariable meta-regressions were performed adjusting for covariates in addition to baseline LDL-C: (1) magnitude of LDL-C reduction; (2) baseline risk profile, (2) type of agent, (2) age. Sensitivity analyses testing for potential sources of statistical heterogeneity were defined for study population (primary or secondary, mixed excluded), mean age <65 years or >65 years, type of agent (statin vs PCSK9 Ab/statin, vs ezetimibe/statin), level of risk (low/moderate vs high risk defined as C-reactive protein >2 mg/l, diabetes, kidney disease, or recent MI or acute coronary syndrome, or revascularization). A cumulative meta-analysis to explore the possible impact of the year of study conduction was performed excluding studies conducted prior to year Additional metaanalyses evaluated trials with a low risk of bias (excluding ALLHAT-LLT, IDEAL, MEGA, GREACE, OSLER1&2), type of treatment in the control group, and the type of agent used in the active treatment group. Sensitivity analyses applying the CTT baseline LDL-C cut-offs to our analysis for each individual endpoint were also conducted. For the summary treatment effect estimate, a 2-tailed P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. To compare treatment effects in subgroups a formal test of interaction was performed; the Bonferroni correction was applied for multiple comparisons. Analyses were done by using Review Manager, version 5.3 (Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark) and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software 2.0 (Biostat, Englewood, NJ).
