Research has established connections between adropin and cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia, positioning it as a valuable biomarker for evaluating cardiovascular disease risk.

Most clinical guidelines recommend prescribing statins to individuals with type 2 diabetes to reduce the chances of cardiovascular disease. There is currently a lack of extensive research on statin utilization specifically for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in Africa. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prescription patterns of statins for preventing cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes patients.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>The findings of the review were presented following the guidelines outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA-2020) checklist. We conducted searches on electronic databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, African Journal Online, and Google Scholar. This systematic review and meta-analysis included articles that met specific inclusion criteria: observational studies such as cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies focusing on determinants, risk factors, or correlates associated with statin prescription within Africa. Only published articles up to June 2, 2024, published in English, and conducted in either community or healthcare facility settings were considered. Data import was initially conducted using Microsoft Excel, and statistical analysis was performed using STATA software. Cochran's Q test was employed to assess whether there was a significant variance in prevalence among the studies. Additionally, the I² statistic was utilized to quantify the extent of heterogeneity. A funnel plot, a visual tool, was utilized to evaluate publication bias.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The search strategy resulted in 7695 published original articles.

We sought to investigate whether serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in critically ill patients with new onset sepsis are associated with severity and outcome. We prospectively included 50 consecutive critically ill adult cases with new onset sepsis and 50 healthy controls matched for age and sex. PTH and 25(OH)D were determined in serum via electrochemiluminescence immunoassays at inclusion in the study in all cases and controls, and one week after sepsis onset in cases. Patients had reduced 25(OH)D compared to controls at sepsis onset (7.9 ± 3 vs 24.6 ± 6.7 ng/mL, p &lt; 0.001), whilst PTH was similar (median (range): 34.5 (5.7–218.5) vs 44.2 (14.2–98.1) pg/mL, p = 0.35). In patients, 25(OH)D upon enrollment and one week after did not differ significantly (7.9 ± 3 vs 7 ± 4.3 ng/mL, p = 0.19). All patients presented with hypovitaminosis D (25(OH)D &lt; 20 ng/mL), while 40 patients (80 %) had vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D &lt; 12 ng/mL) at sepsis onset, including all ten (20 %) nonsurvivors, who died within 28 days from sepsis onset. Patients with sepsis (N = 28) and septic shock (N = 22) as well as survivors (N = 40) and nonsurvivors (N = 10) had similar 25(OH)D at enrollment (p &gt; 0.05). 25(OH)D was positively correlated with ionized calcium (r = 0.46, p &lt; 0.001) and negatively with PTH (p &lt; 0.05), while inflammatory biomarkers or the severity scores exhibited no correlation with 25(OH)D. Patients with septic shock and nonsurvivors had lower PTH than patients with sepsis and survivors respectively (42.2 ± 42.9 vs 73.4 ± 61.9 pg/mL, p = 0.04, and 18.3 ± 10.7 vs 69.9 ± 58.8 pg/mL, p = 0.001, respectively). C-reactive protein was negatively associated with PTH (r = −0.44, p = 0.001). In conclusion, vitamin D deficiency was present in 80 % of critically ill patients at sepsis onset, while nonsurvivors exhibited lower PTH than survivors. Additional, larger and multicenter studies are warranted to elucidate the contribution of vitamin D and PTH to the pathogenesis of sepsis and its outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94141,"journal":{"name":"Metabolism open","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589936824000288/pdfft?md5=e03d054fea77cabb55eec21157726239&pid=1-s2.0-S2589936824000288-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141333020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
