About this trial
The Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) is a unique, large-scale national research initiative involving 30,000 randomly selected individuals aged 50-64, recruited between 2014 and 2018. The study is a collaborative effort among six university hospitals across Sweden. A follow-up study, SCAPIS 2, is conducted for half of the original participants. In Stockholm, 2,500 individuals will be re-examined at Danderyd University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet.
SCAPIS 2 includes a core set of examinations involving blood sampling, questionnaires, and imaging. In addition to these, complementary local investigations are conducted to enable more detailed research questions. This protocol describes the additional studies conducted in the Stockholm cohort. All complementary assessments aim to identify risk factors for current and future lung, liver, and cardiovascular diseases.:
EXTENDED SAMPLING: Saliva and Blood Samples with Blood Cell Isolation. EXTENDED QUESTIONNAIRES: Dyspnea, Sleep, Respiratory Infections, and Dental Health.
EXTENDED IMAGING AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS Cardiac Ultrasound and Abdominal Aortic Measurements. Liver Elastography. Vascular Stiffness by cuff-based pulse wave analysis and Photoplethysmography (PPG). Valvular and Vascular Calcification by CT imaging.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Diagnostic Performance of Machine Learning Analysis of Finger Photoplethysmography for Detection of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD-RADS ≥2)
Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) for prediction of CAD-RADS ≥2 using machine learning analysis of finger photoplethysmography. CAD-RADS 2.0 classification is based on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), where stenosis severity is graded 0-5, atherosclerotic burden is quantified using segment involvement score (SIS) and calcification using Agatston Units (CAC-score).
Long-Term Incident Major Adverse Renal and Cardiovascular Events (MARCE)
Incidence of major adverse renal and cardiovascular events during follow-up. Associations will be evaluated with baseline immune mediators, lipid mediators, oral microbiota composition, vascular stiffness, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis measures.
Immune Activation Biomarkers and Prevalent Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
Correlation between circulating biomarkers of immune activation and the degree of calcification and/or atherosclerosis at examined cardiovascular sites. Atherosclerosis and calcification are assessed by CCTA and/or ultrasound imaging and/or prior diagnosis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Immune profiling distinguishes resolving and non-resolving inflammatory phenotypes.
Lipid Mediator Profiles and Prevalent Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
Correlation between circulating lipid mediator profiles and degree of calcification and/or atherosclerosis at examined cardiovascular sites. Lipid profiling characterizes inflammatory phenotypes and evaluates associations with prior diagnosis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, calcification, and/or imaging-defined atherosclerosis assessed by CCTA and/or ultrasound.
Secondary outcomes
Multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) model for prediction of coronary artery disease (CAD)
Machine learning methods will be applied to identify the most informative predictors of CAD. Multimodal data, including ECG-derived features, lipid mediator measurements, inflammatory biomarkers, ultrasound variables, and oral microbiota profiles, will be used to develop and evaluate a prediction model for CAD, defined as CAD-RADS ≥2. Cross-validation will be used to reduce the risk of overfitting. Model performance will be evaluated using measures of discrimination and calibration. Clinical decision-curve analysis will be used to assess the clinical utility of the model by estimating net benefit across relevant decision thresholds and comparing model-guided decisions with current clinical practice (the pooled cohort equation).
Photoplethysmograpy (PPG) to predict prevalent coronary artery disease
Improved area under receiver operating curve (ROC) to predict CAD-RADS ≥2 and SIS and CAC-score when adding PPG features to age and sex.
Incremental Predictive Value of Photoplethysmography Beyond Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Models
Improvement in AUC-ROC for predicting CAD-RADS category, segment involvement score (SIS), and coronary artery calcium (CAC) score when adding machine learning-derived PPG features to traditional cardiovascular risk factors including the Pooled Cohort Equation.
Lipid Mediator Profiles and Coronary Artery Disease Severity
Association between circulating lipid mediator profiles including plasma remnant cholesterol and coronary artery disease severity assessed by CCTA using CAD-RADS, SIS and CAC-score.
