背景:血浆铁调素浓度对2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者发生心血管不良结局的长期风险的影响尚不清楚。
方法:我们对213名确诊T2DM门诊患者进行了中位55.6个月的随访(45.5%的女性,平均年龄69±10岁;BMI28.7±4.7kg/m2;中位糖尿病病程11年)。基线血浆铁蛋白和铁调素浓度通过电化学发光免疫测定和基于质谱的测定来测量,分别。主要研究结果是全因死亡率或意外非致死性心血管事件的复合结果(包括心肌梗死,永久性心房颤动,缺血性卒中,或因心力衰竭而新住院)。
结果:42例患者在中位55.6个月的随访中出现了主要的复合结局。在通过基线铁调素三元[第一三元:中位数铁调素1.04(IQR0.50-1.95)nmol/L对患者进行分层后,第二三元:3.81(IQR3.01-4-42)nmol/L,第三三元:7.72(IQR6.37-10.4)nmol/L],第3组患者出现主要复合结局的风险是第1组和第2组合并结局患者的2倍(未校正风险比[HR]2.32,95CI1.27~4.26;p=0.007).调整年龄后,这种风险没有减弱,性别,肥胖测量,吸烟,高血压,他汀类药物的使用,抗血小板药物使用,血浆hs-C反应蛋白和铁蛋白浓度(校正HR2.53,95CI1.27-5.03;p=0.008)。
结论:在2型糖尿病门诊患者中,较高的基线铁调素浓度与总死亡率或非致死性心血管事件的长期风险增加密切相关,即使在调整了既定的心血管危险因素后,血浆铁蛋白浓度,药物使用,和其他潜在的混杂因素。
BACKGROUND: The effect of plasma
hepcidin concentrations on the long-term risk of developing adverse cardiovascular outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is unclear.
METHODS: We followed for a median of 55.6 months 213 outpatients with established T2DM (45.5% women, mean age 69 ± 10 years; BMI 28.7 ± 4.7 kg/m2; median diabetes duration 11 years). Baseline plasma ferritin and
hepcidin concentrations were measured with an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay and mass spectrometry-based assay, respectively. The primary study outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality or incident nonfatal cardiovascular events (inclusive of myocardial infarction, permanent atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, or new hospitalization for heart failure).
RESULTS: 42 patients developed the primary composite outcome over a median follow-up of 55.6 months. After stratifying patients by baseline
hepcidin tertiles [1st tertile: median
hepcidin 1.04 (IQR 0.50-1.95) nmol/L, 2nd tertile: 3.81 (IQR 3.01-4-42) nmol/L and 3rd tertile: 7.72 (IQR 6.37-10.4) nmol/L], the risk of developing the primary composite outcome in patients in the 3rd tertile was double that of patients in the 1st and 2nd tertile combined (unadjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.32, 95%CI 1.27-4.26; p = 0.007). This risk was not attenuated after adjustment for age, sex, adiposity measures, smoking, hypertension, statin use, antiplatelet medication use, plasma hs-C-reactive protein and ferritin concentrations (adjusted HR 2.53, 95%CI 1.27-5.03; p = 0.008).
CONCLUSIONS: In outpatients with T2DM, higher baseline
hepcidin concentrations were strongly associated with an increased long-term risk of overall mortality or nonfatal cardiovascular events, even after adjustment for established cardiovascular risk factors, plasma ferritin concentrations, medication use, and other potential confounders.
