Risk of acute pancreatitis among patients with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) or severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG)
Background/Synopsis
HTG is associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, real-world evidence evaluating the risk of AP at varying levels of elevated triglycerides (TG) is limited.
Objective/Purpose
This study evaluates the incidence of AP event in patients with HTG and sHTG levels compared to normal TG levels.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Optum Research Database between 01 January 2016 – 31 March 2022. Adults 18 years and older with ≥ 1 diagnostic test for serum/plasma TG were included. Patients were assigned to four cohorts: normal TG (35 ≤ TG < 150 mg/dL), HTG (150 ≤ TG < 500 mg/dL), and sHTG (placed into 500 ≤ TG < 880 mg/dL or TG ≥ 880 mg/dL cohorts). The index date was the cohort-specific earliest TG measurement. Patients had at least 12 months of pre- and post-index continuous enrollment. The primary study outcome was AP event, defined as having one of the following: ≥ 2 AP-specific medical claims; ≥ 1 claim for AP hospitalization; ≥ 1 claim for upper abdominal pain (UAP) and serum/plasma lipase or amylase level > 200 U/L within 15 days of the UAP claim. Incidence rates were calculated per 100,000 person-years (PY) at risk. Kaplan-Meier analysis and an adjusted Cox proportional hazards model were conducted to estimate the risk of AP event in the HTG cohort and sHTG cohorts compared with the normal TG cohort.
Results
A total of 134,316 patients were identified across the four cohorts. The mean (SD) age of patients was 56.3 (15.7) years, 54% were males, and the mean follow-up was 987 days. AP incidence rates were significantly higher for the HTG (171.8), the 500 ≤ TG < 880 mg/dL (377.8), and the TG ≥ 880 mg/dL (977.6) cohorts, compared to the normal TG cohort (92.2; all p < 0.001). The cumulative incidence of AP events at 3 years was 0.5% in the HTG cohort, 1.1% in the 500 ≤ TG < 880 mg/dL cohort, and 2.8% in the TG ≥ 880 mg/dL cohort, compared to 0.3% in the normal TG cohort (Figure; all p < 0.001). In the adjusted Cox regression model, the hazard ratio (95% CI) of AP was 1.50 (1.20–1.87) in the HTG cohort, 2.63 (2.06–3.35) in the 500 ≤ TG < 880 mg/dL cohort, and 4.78 (3.45–6.61) in the TG ≥ 880 mg/dL cohort, compared to the normal TG cohort (Table).
Conclusions
Patients with elevated TG levels had higher risk of AP event compared to patients with normal levels, with risk of AP increasing with higher TG levels, demonstrating the need for improved therapeutic interventions focused on the clinical management of sHTG.
期刊介绍:
Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner.
Sections of Journal of clinical lipidology will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
