Abstract
Importance: Autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and psoriasis have been previously associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Whether similar increased ASCVD risk is seen with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) remains unclear.
Objective: To evaluate the incidence and prevalence of ASCVD among those with CLE, SLE, and psoriasis compared with a disease-free control group.
Design, setting, and participants: This retrospective, matched longitudinal cohort study used data from January 2018 to December 2020 in the IBM MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database. The control population included individuals free of CLE, SLE, and psoriasis, matched 10:1 with the CLE population on age, sex, insurance type, and enrollment duration. Data were analyzed from September 2022 to April 2024.
Main outcomes and measures: Prevalent ASCVD was defined as coronary artery disease, prior myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accident. Incident ASCVD was assessed through the number of hospitalization events through the end of follow-up (up to 3 years) in each group. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models were performed to compare the prevalence and incidence of ASCVD between exposure groups, adjusting for age, sex, and cardiovascular risk factors.
Results: A total of 8138 persons with CLE (median [IQR] age, 49 [40-47] years; 6618 [81%] female), 24 675 with SLE (median [IQR] age, 46 [36-54] years; 22 432 [91%] female), 192 577 persons with psoriasis (median [IQR] age, 48 [36-56] years; 106 631 [55%] female), and 81 380 control individuals (49 [40-57] years; 66 180 [81%] female) were identified. In multivariable analysis, the odds of ASCVD were higher than control for CLE (odds ratio [OR], 1.72 [95% CI, 1.45-2.02]; P < .001) and SLE (OR, 2.41 [95% CI, 2.14-2.70]; P < .001), but not psoriasis (OR, 1.03 [95% CI, 0.95-1.11]; P = .48). At median 3 years follow-up, incidence rates of ASCVD were highest for SLE (24.8 [95% CI, 23.3-26.4] per 1000 person-years), followed by CLE (15.2 [95% CI, 13.1-17.7] per 1000 person-years), psoriasis (14.0 [95% CI, 13.5-14.4] per 1000 person-years), and then controls (10.3 [95% CI, 9.77-10.94] per 1000 person-years). In multivariable Cox proportional regression modeling with the control group as a reference group, the highest risk of incident ASCVD was in those with SLE (hazard ratio [HR], 2.23 [95% CI, 2.05-2.43]; P < .001), followed by CLE (HR, 1.32 [95% CI, 1.13-1.55]; P < .001), and psoriasis (HR, 1.06 [95% CI, 0.99-1.13]; P = .09).
Conclusions and relevance: In this retrospective matched longitudinal cohort study, CLE was associated with an increased risk for ASCVD, similar to the risk in SLE but higher than the risk in psoriasis. The role of comorbidities that augment ASCVD risk like smoking status should be further investigated. Clinicians treating patients with CLE can consider them at increased ASCVD risk and institute appropriate screening tests.
期刊介绍:
JAMA Dermatology is an international peer-reviewed journal that has been in continuous publication since 1882. It began publication by the American Medical Association in 1920 as Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology. The journal publishes material that helps in the development and testing of the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment in medical and surgical dermatology, pediatric and geriatric dermatology, and oncologic and aesthetic dermatologic surgery.
JAMA Dermatology is a member of the JAMA Network, a consortium of peer-reviewed, general medical and specialty publications. It is published online weekly, every Wednesday, and in 12 print/online issues a year. The mission of the journal is to elevate the art and science of health and diseases of skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes, and their treatment, with the aim of enabling dermatologists to deliver evidence-based, high-value medical and surgical dermatologic care.
The journal publishes a broad range of innovative studies and trials that shift research and clinical practice paradigms, expand the understanding of the burden of dermatologic diseases and key outcomes, improve the practice of dermatology, and ensure equitable care to all patients. It also features research and opinion examining ethical, moral, socioeconomic, educational, and political issues relevant to dermatologists, aiming to enable ongoing improvement to the workforce, scope of practice, and the training of future dermatologists.
JAMA Dermatology aims to be a leader in developing initiatives to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion within the specialty and within dermatology medical publishing.
