Abstract
Background
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a significant vascular condition that can lead to severe complications, including limb ischemia and cardiovascular events. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association between prediabetes, an intermediate state between normoglycemia and diabetes, and the risk of developing PAD.
Methods
A comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases was conducted to identify relevant cohort studies up to April 12, 2024. Data extraction was performed independently by 2 reviewers, and any discrepancies were resolved by consensus. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random effects model to account for heterogeneity among studies.
Results
A total of 8 cohort studies comprising 90,133 participants were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled analysis revealed that individuals with prediabetes had a significantly higher risk of PAD compared to those with normoglycemia (RR = 1.27; 95% CI: 1.13–1.42; P < 0.001; I2 = 55%). Subgroup analyses indicated that the association was stronger in prediabetes defined by mildly elevated hemoglobin A1c (RR: 1.47) compared to those defined by impaired fasting glucose (RR: 1.21) or impaired glucose tolerance (RR: 1.17, p for subgroup difference <0.001). In addition, a stronger association was observed for studies reporting clinically diagnosed PAD compared to studies that included asymptomatic PAD (RR: 1.32 vs. 0.92; p for subgroup difference = 0.02).
Conclusions
This meta-analysis demonstrates a significant association between prediabetes and an increased risk of PAD in a generally community-derived population.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
