Little is known about the related factors of plaque echogenicity in diabetic subjects.
This was a single-center, retrospective, study investigating a subgroup of patients of a previously published trial. We enrolled 179 middle-aged and older Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with carotid plaque, and examined the parameters related with echogenicity of carotid plaque evaluated by gray-scale median (GSM).
Proportion of males and body mass index (BMI) were significantly higher and HDL-cholesterol was significantly lower in the patients with low GSM (< 48) plaques (n = 89) as compared to those without it (n = 90). A multiple logistic regression analysis with gender, BMI, and HDL-cholesterol as independent variables and the presence of low GSM plaques as an objective variable showed that male (odds ratio (OR) 2.36, 95%CI 1.05-5.31, p = 0.037) and BMI (OR 1.12 [1.01-1.24], p = 0.029) were independently associated with low GSM plaques. Another multiple logistic regression analysis with gender, BMI, and low-HDL-cholesterolemia (HDL-C < 40 mg/dl) as independent variables showed that low-HDL-cholesterolemia (OR 2.30 [1.03-5.13], p = 0.042) and BMI (OR 1.11 [1.00-1.22], p = 0.046) were independently associated with low GSM plaques.
Our study suggests that gender, BMI and low-HDL-cholesterol are important determinants of the content of the vascular wall in diabetic subjects.
关于糖尿病患者斑块回声性的相关因素知之甚少。
这是一项单中心回顾性研究,调查先前发表试验中的一组患者。我们纳入了179例患有颈动脉斑块的中老年日本2型糖尿病患者,并检查了与通过灰度中位数(GSM)评估的颈动脉斑块回声性相关的参数。
与无低GSM(<48)斑块(n = 90)的患者相比,有低GSM斑块(n = 89)的患者中男性比例和体重指数(BMI)显著更高,而高密度脂蛋白胆固醇显著更低。以性别、BMI和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇作为自变量,低GSM斑块的存在作为因变量进行多因素逻辑回归分析显示,男性(比值比(OR)2.36,95%可信区间1.05 - 5.31,p = 0.037)和BMI(OR 1.12 [1.01 - 1.24],p = 0.029)与低GSM斑块独立相关。另一项以性别、BMI和低高密度脂蛋白血症(高密度脂蛋白胆固醇<40 mg/dl)作为自变量的多因素逻辑回归分析显示,低高密度脂蛋白血症(OR 2.30 [1.03 - 5.13],p = 0.042)和BMI(OR 1.11 [1.00 - 1.22],p = 0.046)与低GSM斑块独立相关。
我们的研究表明,性别、BMI和低高密度脂蛋白胆固醇是糖尿病患者血管壁成分的重要决定因素。
