摘要
最近的研究表明,服用他汀类药物的患者静脉血栓形成事件(包括肺栓塞(PE))的发生率降低。然而,他汀类药物是否也会影响PE的严重程度仍然难以捉摸。目的通过回顾性队列研究他汀类药物使用与PE严重程度之间的潜在关联。方法:我们对2010年1月1日至2019年12月31日在奥地利格拉茨大学医院通过计算机断层扫描肺血管造影确诊的PE患者进行回顾性数据分析。PE严重程度是根据2019年欧洲心脏病学会指南进行评估的。结果1590例患者中,235例(14.7%)为他汀类药物使用者。他汀类药物服用者明显大于非服用者(中位数为74岁[IQR, 66-80] vs 67岁[IQR, 52-78];P & lt;.001),体重指数(BMI kg/m2;中位数,27.4 [IQR, 24.7-30.7] vs 26.2 [IQR, 23.6-29.7];P = .001)。他汀类药物使用者的合并症患病率明显更高,包括肾功能不全、动脉高血压、糖尿病、高脂血症、动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(所有P <;.001)和心力衰竭(P = .006),而非他汀类药物组的癌症患病率更高(29.6% vs 14.0%;P = .04)。我们的研究显示,与非他汀类药物使用者相比,他汀类药物使用者中低风险PE的比例明显更小(12.3% vs 19.9%;P = .006)。根据性别(男性和女性)、年龄和BMI (kg/m2)对各组进行匹配后,未发现PE严重程度有显著差异。结论他汀类药物的使用与PE严重程度无关。他汀类药物使用者中低风险PE的比例较小可能归因于他们的年龄较大、BMI较高和合并症。
The impact of statins on pulmonary embolism severity—a retrospective data analysis
Background
Recent studies have demonstrated decreased rates of venous thrombotic events, including pulmonary embolism (PE), in patients taking statins. It, however, remains elusive whether statins could also impact PE severity.
Objectives
To investigate a potential association between statin use and the severity of PE in a retrospective cohort.
Methods
We performed a retrospective data analysis of patients with PE confirmed by computed tomography pulmonary angiography between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019, at the University Hospital Graz, Austria. PE severity was assessed based on the 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines.
Results
Of 1590 patients analyzed, 235 (14.7%) were statin users. Statin users were significantly older than nonusers (median, 74 years [IQR, 66-80] vs 67 years [IQR, 52-78]; P < .001) and had a higher body mass index (BMI kg/m2; median, 27.4 [IQR, 24.7-30.7] vs 26.2 [IQR, 23.6-29.7]; P = .001). Statin users had a significantly higher prevalence of comorbidities, including kidney insufficiency, arterial hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (all P < .001), and heart failure (P = .006), while the nonstatin group had a higher prevalence of cancer (29.6% vs 14.0%; P = .04). Our study revealed a significantly smaller proportion of low-risk PE in statin users compared with nonstatin users (12.3% vs 19.9%; P = .006). After matching the groups based on sex (male and female), age, and BMI (kg/m2), no significant differences in PE severity were found.
Conclusion
Statin use was not associated with PE severity. The smaller proportion of low-risk PE in statin users is likely attributable to their older age, higher BMI, and comorbidities.
