摘要
目的:探讨地域性萎缩(GA)患者全身c反应蛋白(CRP)水平的差异及CRP水平的性别差异。方法:从2014年8月至2021年6月,在前瞻性年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)登记处收集GA患者和对照组的血液样本。采用多模态成像、Beckman和Consensus of Atrophy符合GA标准确认AMD。使用自动浊度计测量高灵敏度血清CRP水平。非参数(基于秩的)线性回归模型拟合了性别和遗传算法之间的相互作用。结果:有97例GA患者和139例对照,女性分别占每个队列的55%和66%。病例和对照组之间的CRP没有差异,GA患者的中位数(四分位数范围)为1.2 (0.6-2.6)mg/L,而对照组为1.3 (0.8-2.9)mg/L (P=0.52)。尽管在GA组和对照组中,女性的CRP水平均高于男性,但经过多次比较调整后,这种差异没有统计学意义。结论:GA患者与对照组CRP水平无明显差异。
Systemic C-reactive protein levels in patients with geographic atrophy stratified by sex.
Aim: To determine the differences in levels of systemic C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) and sex-based differences in CRP levels.
Methods: Blood samples from patients with GA and controls were collected in a prospective age-related macular degeneration (AMD) registry from August 2014 to June 2021. AMD was confirmed using multimodal imaging and the Beckman and Consensus of Atrophy Meeting criteria for GA. High-sensitivity serum CRP levels were measured using an automated nephelometer. A non-parametric (rank-based) linear regression model was fit with an interaction between sex and GA.
Results: There were 97 GA patients and 139 controls, with females comprising 55% and 66% of each cohort, respectively. There is no difference in CRP between cases and controls, with a median (interquartile range) of 1.2 (0.6-2.6) mg/L in GA patients versus 1.3 (0.8-2.9) mg/L in controls (P=0.52). Although females had higher CRP levels compared to males in both the GA and control groups, this difference did not reach statistical significance after adjustment for multiple comparisons.
Conclusion: There is no significant difference in systemic CRP levels between GA cases and controls.
