Comparison of Prevalence and Risk Factors of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Patients with Different Ethnicity: A Cross-sectional Study

Background Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a rapidly growing disorder worldwide, especially in the Middle East. A higher incidence of coronary artery diseases requiring coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been reported in patients with diabetes. We assessed the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and in-hospital major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and postoperative complications among patients who underwent on-pump isolated CABG. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we used the data registered for CABG patients from two heart centers in the Golestan province (North of Iran) between 2007 and 2016. The study population included 1956 patients divided into two groups: 1062 non-diabetic patients and 894 patients with diabetes (fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dl or using antidiabetic medications). The study outcome was in-hospital MACCEs, a composite outcome of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and cardiovascular death, and postoperative complications, including postoperative arrhythmia, acute atrial fibrillation (AF), major bleeding (defined as reoperation due to bleeding), and acute kidney injury (AKI). Results During the 10-year study period, 1956 adult patients with a mean (SD) age of 59.0 (9.60) years were included. After adjustment for age, gender, ethnicity, obesity, opium consumption, and smoking, diabetes was a predictor of postoperative arrhythmia (AOR 1.30, 95% CI 1.08–1.57; P = 0.006). While it was not a predictor of in-hospital MACCEs (AOR 1.35, 95% CI 0.86, 2.11; P = 0.188), AF (AOR 0.85, 95% CI 0.60–1.19; P = 0.340), major bleeding (AOR 0.80, 95% CI 0.50, 1.30; P = 0.636) or AKI (AOR 1.29, 95% CI 0.42, 3.96; P 0.656) after CABG surgery. Conclusion Findings indicated that diabetes increased the risk of postoperative arrhythmia by 30%. However, we found similar in-hospital MACCEs, acute AF, major bleeding, and AKI following CABG surgery in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

Background Air pollution is a key public health factor with the capacity to induce diseases. The risk of ischemia heart disease (IHD) in those suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) from air pollution exposure is ambiguous. This study aimed to: (1) determine the hazard ratio (HR) of IHD after the first-diagnosed SLE and (2) examine the effects of air pollution exposure on IHD in SLE for 12 years. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study. Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database and Taiwan Air Quality Monitoring data were used in the study. Cases first diagnosed with SLE in 2006 cases without IHD were recruited as the SLE group. We randomly selected an additional sex-matched non-SLE cohort, four times the size of the SLE cohort, as the control group. Air pollution indices by residence city per period were calculated as the exposure. Life tables and Cox proportional risk models of time-dependent covariance were used in the research. Results This study identified patients for the SLE group (n = 4,842) and the control group (n = 19,368) in 2006. By the end of 2018, the risk of IHD was significantly higher in the SLE group than in the control group, and risks peaked between the 6th and 9th year. The HR of incidence IHD in the SLE group was 2.42 times that of the control group. Significant correlations with risk of developing IHD were noted for sex, age, CO, NO2, PM10, and PM2.5, of which PM10 exposure had the highest risk of IHD incidence. Conclusions Subjects with SLE were at a higher risk of IHD, especially those in the 6th to 9th year after SLE diagnosis. The advanced cardiac health examinations and health education plan should be recommended for SLE patients before the 6th year after SLE diagnosed.
