Abstract 14772: Comparing Efficacy of Venous Closure Devices in Patients Undergoing Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter Ablation: A Retrospective Review

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A14772-A14772, November 8, 2022. Introduction:Vascular closure devices have shown marked improvement in patient comfort and time to ambulation after undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) radiofrequency ablation. They have been proven superior to manual closure and Figure of 8 suture in terms of pain control and time to ambulate. However, data comparing different vascular closure devices is sparse.Hypothesis:To compare the efficacy of venous closure devicesMethods:We retrospectively reviewed 100 patients at our institution who underwent AF and AFL radiofrequency ablation. We aimed to assess the difference in time to ambulation, device failure, pain control and vascular complication rate between the two commonly used venous closure devices (VASCADE and PERCLOSE).Results:A total of 100 patients (50 in each arm) were included in the study. The mean age was 67.6+9.3 years and 73% patients were men. The two groups were well balanced with respect to baseline demographics and clinical characteristics except for coronary artery disease (24%VASCADE vs. 14% PERCLOSE, p

Abstract 15248: Clinical Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement With and Without Percutaneous Coronary Intervention – An Updated Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A15248-A15248, November 8, 2022. Hypothesis:Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) serves as a less-invasive treatment option for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. Given the coexistence of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients with high-grade aortic stenosis (estimated to be 40-75%), there is inconsistent clinical data regarding potential mortality benefits of paired percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with TAVR procedures.Methods:We performed a literature search using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from inception through April 2022 to assess the mortality impact of preceding/concomitant PCI in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The primary outcomes were 30-day all-cause mortality, 30-day cardiovascular mortality, and 6 months-1 year all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included 30-day myocardial infarction, stroke, major bleeding/vascular complications, and acute kidney injury.Results:11 studies (10 retrospective cohort studies, 1 randomized control trial) involving 2791 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Compared to patients undergoing TAVR alone, the TAVR+PCI group showed no significant difference in 30-day all-cause mortality (RR 0.90, CI 0.66, 1.22, p =0.49), 30-day cardiovascular mortality (RR 0.71 CI 0.44, 1.14, p =0.16), or 6 months-1 year all-cause mortality (RR 0.94, CI 0.75, 1.18, p =0.57). Regarding secondary outcomes, 30-day myocardial infarction was higher in the TAVR+PCI group compared to the TAVR group (RR 3.09, CI 1.26, 7.57, p =0.01), while no significant differences were found in rates of 30-day stroke (RR 1.14, CI 0.56, 2.33, p =0.72), major bleeding/vascular complications (RR 1.11, CI 0.79, 1.56, p =0.55), and acute kidney injury (RR 1.07, CI 0.75, 1.54, p =0.71).Conclusion:Concomitant/preceding percutaneous coronary intervention does not confer any additional mortality benefit, and may increase the risk of 30-day myocardial infarction, in patients with high-grade aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Further trials with large sample sizes are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract 13426: Efficacy and Safety of Hypothermia as Adjuvant Therapy for Myocardial Infarction Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A13426-A13426, November 8, 2022. Objective:Randomized control trials (RCT) conducted on myocardial infarction (MI) patients regarding the efficacy of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have shown inconsistent results. This study aims to compare the use of TH in patients with MI undergoing PCI with control groups.Methods:We systematically searched four databases; PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane for studies conducted until March 2022. The inclusion criteria were any study design that compared TH in patients with MI undergoing PCI with a control group. Infarct size percentage and recurrent MI were primary efficacy outcomes. Mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and overall bleeding complications were primary safety outcomes. The risk of bias assessment of the included RCTs was conducted through Cochrane tool, while the quality of the included cohort studies was assessed by the NIH tool. The meta-analysis was performed on RevMan.Results:A total of 19 studies were included; 15 RCTs, one case-control, and three cohort studies. Infarct size percentage was significantly reduced in TH group as compared to control (MD= -1.76, 95% CI [-3.04, -0.47), p=0.007), but the TH group had a higher incidence of bleeding complications (OR= 1.88, 95% CI [1.11, 3.18), p=0.02). There were no significant differences between TH and control groups in mortality (OR= 1.06, 95% CI [0.75, 1.50), p=0.73) or recurrent MI (OR= 1.21, 95% CI [0.64, 2.30), p=0.56).Conclusion:In patients with MI, TH reduces infarct size while increasing bleeding complications. Mortality and recurrent MI outcomes are not significantly reduced.

Abstract 11497: Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists and Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A11497-A11497, November 8, 2022. Introduction:Medical therapies to prevent atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes and to reduce heart failure (HF) or cardiovascular (CV) death in patients with AF are limited. The role of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in this population is unclear.Objectives:We aimed to assess whether the effect of MRAs (e.g. spironolactone, eplerenone, finerenone) in reducing cardiovascular events differs in patients with and without AF, and to evaluate the efficacy of MRAs in reducing AF events.Methods:We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL to March 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing an MRA to placebo or usual care in patients with established cardiovascular disease or risk factors. Pairs of reviewers systematically screened the eligible studies and used random-effects models to combine data.Results:We identified 6 RCTs including 7,245 participants (1,791 with AF and 5,454 without AF) that assessed the effect of MRAs on a composite of HF hospitalization or CV death (Figure). MRAs had similar efficacy for reducing HF hospitalization/CV death in patients with a history of AF (HR 0.86, 95% CI: 0.52-1.42; I2=71%) as compared to those without a history of AF (HR 0.77, 95% CI: 0.62-0.96; I2=58%) – P for subgroup differences=0.69. There was no evidence of difference in the efficacy of MRAs in reducing HF hospitalization (P for subgroup differences=0.93) and CV death (P for subgroup differences=0.41) in patients with and without AF. We identified 21 RCTs including 22,126 participants that reported on the occurrence of AF events. MRAs significantly reduced AF events (RR 0.78, 95% CI: 0.71-0.87; I2=0%). This effect was similar for reducing both new-onset AF (RR 0.81, 95% CI: 0.64-1.01; I2=32%) and recurrent AF episodes (RR 0.77, 95% CI: 0.67-0.88; I2=0%) – P for subgroup differences=0.71.Conclusions:MRAs reduce HF hospitalization or CV death to a similar extent in patients with and without AF. In addition, MRAs may prevent new-onset and recurrent AF events.

Abstract 15820: The Use of Sglt 2 Inhibitors During Hospitalization for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A15820-A15820, November 8, 2022. Background:There continues to be emerging data about the benefits of Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) in patients with heart failure. This has led to the addition of this medication to guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. There is a discrepancy in whether the use of SGLT2i is beneficial in patients hospitalized for decompensated heart failure.Methods:In this study, a search was completed through PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, ProQuest for randomized controlled trials from 2020 to 2022 that evaluated the impact of the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors (Empagliflozin, Sotagliflozin) in patients admitted with acute HF. After screening for our preset inclusion and exclusion criteria, three randomized controlled clinical trials were eligible for inclusion. We carried out a Meta-analysis of the relative odds on the basis of the random effect model using the Mantel-Haenszel method for the major outcome of the incidence of death from any cause, the number of heart failure events, rehospitalization for heart failure, and time to first heart failure event in the acute setting. Comprehensive Meta-analysis version 3 software was used for analysis.Results:A total of 2,532 patients from the EMPULSE, SOLOIST-WHF, EMPA-RESPONSE-AHF trials were included. After analysis, it was found that the P-value was 0.000, Z-value was -4.103, and the OR 0.508 (95% CI 0.368; 0.702) for the patients on either Empagliflozin or Sotagliflozin.Conclusions:The systematic review and meta-analysis we conducted show that patients who received SGLT-2i (Empagliflozin, Sotagliflozin) during hospitalization within 24 hours or more had a statistically significant decreased odds of all-cause of death, number of heart failure events, and rehospitalization for heart failure.

Abstract 10177: Pacing-Induced Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Definition, Incidence, Risk Factors and Management

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A10177-A10177, November 8, 2022. Introduction:Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PiCM) is a potential adverse sequela of right ventricular pacing. Definition varies between studies and the optimal management approach is uncertain. We aimed to characterize definition, incidence, risk factors and treatment strategies of PiCM.Methods:We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of human studies that evaluated PiCM following pacemaker implantation identified through a literature search of PubMed and EMBASE up to March 2022. Included studies had fifty or more participants. We collected data regarding study definition of PiCM and calculated pooled prevalence across studies. Meta-analysis with random-effects modelling was used to assess association between risk factors and PiCM, reported as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).Results:Twenty-six studies (six prospective studies) with a total of 57993 patients (mean/median age 51-78 years, female 45%) were included in final analysis. Fifteen unique definitions of PiCM were reported; the most common definition was left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)

Abstract 15112: Subcutaneous versus Transvenous Implantable Defibrillator Recipients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A15112-A15112, November 8, 2022. Introduction:Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is an alternative to transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (T-ICD) in select patients with complex anatomy, high infection risk and venous access issues. T-ICD is known to cause perioperative and long-term complications. Considering expanding indications for S-ICD, ongoing uncertainty in efficacy and unknown utility in low-risk patients, we performed this updated meta-analysis to study device related complications in both the systems.Methods:We performed a meta-analysis using electronic literature search to retrieve studies that compared S-ICD to T-ICD. Outcomes of interest were efficacy and device-related complications. Outcomes were pooled under random-effects and reported as risk ratios (RRs) and 95% CIs. 15 studies (observational, case-control and RCTs), median follow up 31.1 months, with variable heterogeneity for different outcomes (Fig-1), were included to capture real-world data.Results:A total of 21628 patients (S-ICD group n=3594, male 72.6%, mean age 50.1±10y and T-ICD group n=18034, male =72.6%, mean age 53.3±10.6y) were recruited.

Abstract 12898: Mobile Health Interventions and Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring in Underserved Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A12898-A12898, November 8, 2022. Introduction:Disparities in blood pressure (BP) control persist in underserved communities. Although mobile health (mHealth) technologies have increased access to routine care for HTN, few studies have analyzed the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in populations experiencing HTN disparities.Methods:We conducted a systematic review of studies in seven databases published up to November 2021. The search used controlled vocabulary and keywords for HTN, mHealth interventions, and social determinants of health. We included papers that focused on mHealth interventions to manage HTN in underserved populations based on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic factors. The primary outcome was change in systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP), and we assessed variations in the primary outcome by each study’s relative sociodemographic representation.Results:Among 2,644 unique studies identified, 24 studies (evaluating 7,960 participants in total) met our inclusion criteria. Demographic characteristics were similar between intervention and control groups (intervention: mean age 57.7 [SD 6.2] years; 59.8% women; 40.4% Black; 22.2% Hispanic). Among 18 studies that reported 6-month BP changes, reductions in SBP and DBP values in the intervention group were -7.03 mmHg (control: -2.71 mmHg) and -3.65 mmHg (control: -1.63 mmHg), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that studies with a higher representation of Hispanic, low-income, and low-education level participants had less pronounced BP improvements than studies with a lower representation of these subgroups.Conclusion:This review provides evidence for the effectiveness of mHealth interventions for HTN management. Future studies and community-based initiatives are needed to further increase individuals’ access to these interventions and to ensure their effectiveness across all populations disproportionately impacted by HTN.

Abstract 10114: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis of Sham and Placebo Controlled Trials Testing Spironolactone and Renal Denervation as Treatments for Resistant Hypertension

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A10114-A10114, November 8, 2022. Introduction:The most common 4th-line treatment for resistant hypertension (RHTN) is the addition of a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA). Renal denervation (RD) has also been investigated as a treatment option for RHTN. A lack of data on the comparative effectiveness of these two therapies poses challenges in choosing optimal treatment strategies for patients with RHTN.Methods:Placebo-controlled and sham-controlled randomized clinical trials testing spironolactone or RD as treatments for RHTN were included in this analysis. Prespecified subgroup analyses comparing the efficacy of MRA and RD were conducted for the outcomes of 24-hour blood pressure (BP) and office BP.Results:Fourteen studies (8 MRA and 6 RD) were identified that included 2,306 participants (1,414 MRA and 892 RD). Cochran risk of bias assessment showed 84% of the domains to be low risk of bias for the MRA studies and 88% of the domains to be low risk of bias for the RD studies. The raw mean difference (RMD) between MRA and placebo control was statistically significant for 24-hour systolic (SBP) (-10.59 mmHg; 95% confidence interval (CI) -12.88 to -8.31), 24-hour diastolic (DBP) (-5.03 mmHg; 95% CI -6.75 to -3.32), office SBP (-10.43 mmHg; 95% CI -12.23 to -8.63), and office DBP (-4.10 mmHg; 95% CI -5.18 to -3.02). The RMD between RD and sham control was not statistically significant for 24-hour SBP (-1.85 mmHg; 95% CI -3.88 to 0.18), 24-hour DBP (-0.67 mmHg; 95% CI -1.84 to 0.51), office SBP (-1.93 mmHg; 95% CI -5.17 to 1.31), and office DBP (-1.55 mmHg; 95% CI -3.43 to 0.33). The interaction between the subgroups was statistically significant for all analyses.Discussion:MRAs had a greater reduction in 24-hour ambulatory and office BP compared to RD among patients with RHTN. This data may help physicians s counsel their patients regarding optimal treatment options for RHTN.

Abstract 12706: Stroke Risk and Oral Anticoagulation Use With Extended Cardiac Monitoring for Atrial Fibrillation versus Usual Care: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A12706-A12706, November 8, 2022. INTRODUCTION:Prolonged cardiac monitoring is frequently used to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) in high-risk populations, with the goal of preventing thromboembolic events. We sought to determine the impact of prolonged cardiac monitoring on the incidence of stroke and systemic embolism (SSE) or transient ischemic attack (TIA)METHODS:We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials evaluating prolonged monitoring versus usual care (PROSPERO #CRD42021277611). Studies were identified through CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and Embase. We included studies with ≥100 participants and ≥30 days follow-up. The primary outcome was a composite of SSE/TIA, as reported in the original trials. Secondary outcomes included AF detection, oral anticoagulation (OAC) initiation, and major bleeding. Sensitivity analysis examining the impact of monitoring device, and indication for monitoring were performed. Meta-analyses were performed with R using a random-effects model.RESULTS:From 1411 records, we included 9 RCTs (n = 10,205). Mean age was 70 years, 40% were female, and mean CHADS2 score was 4.0. Studies used implantable cardiac monitors (n = 4), external cardiac monitors (n = 3), or handheld ECG devices (n = 2). Study populations included post-stroke (n = 5), high risk for AF or stroke (n = 2), and post-cardiac surgery (n = 1). Mean follow-up was 16 months (range 3-65). Extended monitoring did not significantly reduce the primary outcome (Figure, random effects risk ratio [RR] 0.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72-1.06, I2 = 0%) or its individual components. Extended monitoring increased AF detection (RR 4.56, 95% CI 3.01-6.92, I2 = 65%) and OAC usage (RR 2.25, 95% CI 2.01-2.53, I2 = 0%), but did not impact major bleeding (RR 1.23, 95% CI 0.84-1.82, I2 = 0%).CONCLUSION:Prolonged monitoring was associated with increased AF detection and OAC use, without significantly reducing the occurrence of thromboembolic events.

Abstract 13413: Clinical Outcomes of Right Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A13413-A13413, November 8, 2022. Background:Right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD) is a known predictor of survival in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. However, the association between RVSD and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unclear.Objectives:We, therefore, conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between RVSD and HFpEF.Method:Two investigators independently searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to April 28, 2022 to identify the study that reported outcomes of interest in HFpEF with or without RVSD. Primary outcome was a composite outcome of death and heart failure rehospitalization. Secondary outcome was all-cause mortality. RVSD was defined as right ventricular ejection fraction < 50% by echocardiography or cardiovascular magnetic resonance. Data from each study were combined using the random-effects model to calculate pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).Results:Five observational studies involving 1,181 patients with HFpEF from December 2014 to May 2021 were included in our meta-analysis. The presence of RV systolic dysfunction in HFpEF patients was associated with a significantly higher risk of composite outcome of death and heart failure rehospitalization (HR 3.29; 95% CI 1.92-5.65; I2 = 52%) and all-cause mortality (HR 1.72; 95% CI 1.16-2.53; I2 = 68%) compared to those without RV systolic dysfunction.Conclusions:Our meta-analysis demonstrates that HFpEF patients with RVSD is associated with a worse outcome compared to those without RVSD.

Abstract 12167: High BNP and NT-proBNP Level as a Poor Prognostic Indicator an Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A12167-A12167, November 8, 2022. Background:Raised BNP/NT-pro BNP has been reported as a poor prognostic indicator in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. However, the unavailability of pooled data utilizing BNP/NT-proBNP as a prognostic biomarker led us to perform this systematic review and meta-analysis.Methods:Using relevant keywords, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and EMBASE were systematically reviewed to evaluate studies reporting all-cause mortality or sudden death with BNP/NT-pro BNP through May 2022. Random effects models and I2statistics were used for pooled hazard ratios (HR) and heterogeneity assessment using Review Manager (RevMan) [Computer program].

Abstract 11428: A Comparison Between Endothelin Receptor Antagonists and Renal Denervation for Resistant Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Sham and Placebo Controlled Trials

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A11428-A11428, November 8, 2022. Introduction:Endothelin-1 causes vasoconstriction by activation of calcium flux in smooth muscle cells. Use of endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) has remained controversial. Renal denervation (RD) has also been investigated as a treatment option for resistant hypertension (RHTN). The efficacy of these two novel treatment strategies was compared.Methods:Placebo-controlled and sham-controlled randomized clinical trials testing ERA or RD as treatments for RHTN were selected. Prespecified subgroup analyses comparing the efficacy of ERA and RD were conducted for outcomes of 24-hour (hr) blood pressure (BP) and office BP.Results:Nine studies (3 ERA and 6 RD) were identified that included 1,708 participants (816 ERA and 892 RD). Cochran risk of bias assessment showed 72% of the domains to be low risk of bias for the ERA studies and 88% of the domains to be low risk of bias for the RD studies. The raw mean difference (RMD) between ERA and placebo control was statistically significant for 24-hr systolic (SBP) (-8.34 mmHg; 95% CI -11.51 to -5.81, 24-hr diastolic (DBP) (-6.77 mmHg; 95% CI -8.90 to -4.63), office SBP (-4.50 mmHg; 95% CI -6.92 to -2.08), and office DBP (-2.01 mmHg; 95% CI -2.13 to -1.88). The RMD between RD and sham control was not statistically significant for 24-hr SBP (-1.85 mmHg; 95% CI -3.88 to 0.18), 24-hr DBP (-0.67 mmHg; 95% CI -1.84 to 0.51), office SBP (-1.93 mmHg; 95% CI -5.17 to 1.31), and office DBP (-1.55 mmHg; 95% CI -3.43 to 0.33). The interaction between the treatment subgroups was statistically significant for 24-hr SBP and DBP, but not for office SBP and DBP.Discussion:ERAs had greater reduction in 24-hr and office BP compared to RD among patients with RHTN. Despite efficacy in reducing BP in RHTN, use of ERAs remains controversial given the cost and side effect profile. RD does not reduce BP among patients with RHTN. Medications are the optimal treatment for RHTN and sham controlled data showing efficacy is needed prior to widespread use and adoption of RD in RHTN.

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A11762-A11762, November 8, 2022. Background:Considering a paucity of pooled data on the influence of Body Mass Index (BMI) on long-term cardiac outcomes in individuals with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy(HOCM), we conducted this systematic review.Methods:PUBMED, Scopus, EMBASE and Google Scholar were used to screen studies reporting Mortality/Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) and Sudden Cardiac Death(SCD) among obese vs nonobese HOCM patients. Pooled odds ratios(OR) and heterogeneity were assessed with random-effects models and I2statistics. Subgroup analysis was performed to assess the risk by study type, sample size, country and procedure. The leave-one-study-out method was used for sensitivity analysis.Results:Of the 178 titles screened, we included 13 studies published between 2016-2022 with a total of 2,409,397 HOCM patients followed for a median of 6 years (1.8-8.2 year range). The sample had a higher proportion of males (61.33%) with a mean age of 56.3 years (37-78 year range). The unadjusted [OR=1.55(1.09-2.21), I2=96%] and adjusted [OR=1.28 (1.06-1.54), I2=82.7%] pooled odds of all-cause mortality were significantly higher with increased BMI.

Abstract 13268: Associations Between Plant-Based Dietary Patterns and Risks of Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, and Mortality – A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Circulation, Volume 146, Issue Suppl_1, Page A13268-A13268, November 8, 2022. Introduction: Plant-based dietary patternsthat emphasize foods derived from plant sources and limit consumption of animal products have the potential to prevent and manage major chronic diseases. We aim to assess the existing prospective observational evidence on associations between adherence to plant-based dietary patterns and risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and mortality.Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis on prospective observational studies of plant-based dietary patterns and outcomes of T2D, CVD, cancer, and mortality was conducted. We searched PubMed and MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science, and screened references.Results:A total of 67 studies were identified, including 3,826,137 participants with 40,885 cases of incident T2D, 145,187 CVD cases, 25,510 cancer cases, and 75,412 deaths. An inverse association was observed between higher adherence to a plant-based dietary pattern and lower risks of T2D (RR, 0.80 [95% CI: 0.74-0.85]), CVD (0.89 [0.84-0.94]), and all-cause mortality (0.85 [0.76-0.95]) with a modest heterogeneity across studies (I2ranged: 62.8%-96.2%), whereas a non-significant inverse association was observed for cancer risk (0.94 [0.87-1.01];I2=49.2%). The inverse association with cancer was strengthened and became significant when healthy plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes, were included in the definition of plant-based dietary patterns (0.90 [95% CI: 0.81-0.99;I2=41.0%]). Among seven studies with measurements of changes in dietary patterns, increased adherence to a plant-based dietary pattern was significantly associated with lower risks of T2D (0.82 [0.71-0.95];I2=72.2%) and mortality (0.95 [0.91-1.00];I2=0%).Conclusions:Higher adherence to a plant-based dietary patterns, especially from healthy resources, may be beneficial for the primary prevention of T2D, CVD, cancer, and mortality.
