Introduction Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) carries similar risks to metabolic syndromes, and the population with hypothyroidism and concurrent PCOS may demonstrate exponential cardiovascular risk. There is a paucity of data on the cardiovascular outcomes of the population with PCOS. We aimed to address this gap. Methods We queried the National Inpatient Sample Database (2016-2020), selected the population with a diagnosis of PCOS, and stratified them according to the presence or absence of hypothyroidism. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to predict the outcomes. The primary outcome was mortality, while secondary outcomes were heart failure (HF), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), chronic kidney disease (CKD), stroke, hypertension (HTN), hyperlipidemia (HLD), and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Results There were 78,470 hospitalizations with PCOS, and 14.6% (11,455) had hypothyroidism (36.3 years ± 10). Compared to the non-hypothyroid group, the population with hypothyroidism did not differ in terms of mortality (OR: 0.9; 95% CI: 0.6-1.4), HTN (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.9-1.09), stroke (OR: 1.1; 95% CI: 0.8-1.4), or DVT (OR: 0.9; 95% CI: 0.7-1.3) (p > 0.05 for each). However, they had a higher likelihood of HF (OR: 1.2; 95% CI: 1.04-1.4), CKD (OR: 1.2; 95% CI: 1.02-1.3), T2DM (OR: 1.2; 95% CI: 1.1-1.3), and HLD (OR: 1.2; 95% CI: 1.2-1.3) (p < 0.05 for each). Conclusion Among the population with PCOS, those with concurrent hypothyroidism had a higher association with HF, CKD, T2DM, and HLD. Risk stratification, prompt screening, close follow-up, and management may improve outcomes in this population.
引言 多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)与代谢综合征具有相似的风险,而甲状腺功能减退症并发PCOS的人群可能表现出成倍增加的心血管风险。关于PCOS人群心血管结局的数据匮乏。我们旨在填补这一空白。方法 我们查询了国家住院样本数据库(2016 - 2020年),选择诊断为PCOS的人群,并根据是否存在甲状腺功能减退症进行分层。应用多变量逻辑回归模型预测结局。主要结局是死亡率,次要结局是心力衰竭(HF)、2型糖尿病(T2DM)、慢性肾脏病(CKD)、中风、高血压(HTN)、高脂血症(HLD)和深静脉血栓形成(DVT)。结果 有78470例PCOS住院病例,14.6%(11455例)患有甲状腺功能减退症(36.3岁±10岁)。与非甲状腺功能减退组相比,甲状腺功能减退症患者在死亡率(比值比:0.9;95%置信区间:0.6 - 1.4)、高血压(比值比:1.04;95%置信区间:0.9 - 1.09)、中风(比值比:1.1;95%置信区间:0.8 - 1.4)或深静脉血栓形成(比值比:0.9;95%置信区间:0.7 - 1.3)方面无差异(每项p>0.05)。然而,他们发生心力衰竭(比值比:1.2;95%置信区间:1.04 - 1.4)、慢性肾脏病(比值比:1.2;95%置信区间:1.02 - 1.3)、2型糖尿病(比值比:1.2;95%置信区间:1.1 - 1.3)和高脂血症(比值比:1.2;95%置信区间:1.2 - 1.3)的可能性更高(每项p<0.05)。结论 在PCOS人群中,并发甲状腺功能减退症的患者与心力衰竭、慢性肾脏病、2型糖尿病和高脂血症的关联更高。风险分层、及时筛查、密切随访和管理可能改善该人群的结局。
