Tools to detect type 1 diabetes (T1D) individuals at overt cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk are scarce. We aimed to assess the usefulness of the score 'Steno Type 1 Risk Engine' (Steno-Risk) to identify T1D patients with advanced carotid atherosclerosis.
T1D patients without CVD with at least one of the following were included: ≥40 years, diabetic nephropathy, or diabetes duration ≥10 years with ≥1 CVD risk factor. Intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque presence (IMT ≥1.5 mm) were assessed by standardized B-mode ultrasonography. Steno-Risk was used to estimate 10-year risk (<10% low; 10%-20% moderate; ≥20% high risk). Associations between Steno-Risk and preclinical atherosclerosis were assessed after adjusting for other CVD risk factors.
We evaluated 302 patients (55% men, age 47.8 ± 9.8 years, T1D duration 26.3 ± 9.3 years). The prevalence of carotid plaque and ≥2 plaques were 36.4% and 19.2%, respectively; without sex differences. Age (57.4 ± 7.4 vs 37.1 ± 6.2 years), T1D duration (31.3 ± 10.4 vs 21.5 ± 7.1 years), hypertension (52.3% vs 6.3%), nephropathy (25.6% vs 5.1%) and retinopathy (53.5% vs 32.9%) were higher in high-risk (n = 86) vs low-risk participants (n = 79; P < .001 for all). Preclinical atherosclerosis (IMT and plaque) increased in parallel with Steno-Risk (P < .001). In logistic regression analysis, both age ≥40 years and Steno-Risk ≥20% were associated with the presence of plaque (OR 4.22 [1.57-11.36] and 3.79 [1.61-6.80]; respectively), but only high Steno-Risk remained independently associated with ≥2 plaques (OR 3.31 [1.61-6.80]).
Steno-Risk is independently associated with preclinical atherosclerosis. Further studies are needed to ascertain its usefulness in this high-risk population.
用于检测处于明显心血管疾病(CVD)风险的1型糖尿病(T1D)患者的工具稀缺。我们旨在评估“斯滕诺1型风险评估工具”(Steno-Risk)对识别患有晚期颈动脉粥样硬化的T1D患者的有效性。
纳入无CVD且具有以下至少一项特征的T1D患者:年龄≥40岁、糖尿病肾病、糖尿病病程≥10年且伴有≥1个CVD风险因素。通过标准化B型超声评估内膜中层厚度(IMT)和斑块存在情况(IMT≥1.5mm)。使用Steno-Risk评估10年风险(<10%为低风险;10%-20%为中度风险;≥20%为高风险)。在对其他CVD风险因素进行校正后,评估Steno-Risk与临床前期动脉粥样硬化之间的关联。
我们评估了302例患者(55%为男性,年龄47.8±9.8岁,T1D病程26.3±9.3年)。颈动脉斑块和≥2个斑块的患病率分别为36.4%和19.2%;无性别差异。高风险组(n = 86)与低风险组(n = 79)相比,年龄(57.4±7.4岁对37.1±6.2岁)、T1D病程(31.3±10.4年对21.5±7.1年)、高血压(52.3%对6.3%)、肾病(25.6%对5.1%)和视网膜病变(53.5%对32.9%)更高(所有P<0.001)。临床前期动脉粥样硬化(IMT和斑块)与Steno-Risk呈平行增加(P<0.001)。在逻辑回归分析中,年龄≥40岁和Steno-Risk≥20%均与斑块存在相关(OR分别为4.22[1.57 - 11.36]和3.79[1.61 - 6.80]),但只有高Steno-Risk与≥2个斑块独立相关(OR为3.31[1.61 - 6.80])。
Steno-Risk与临床前期动脉粥样硬化独立相关。需要进一步研究以确定其在这一高风险人群中的有效性。
