动脉粥样硬化血栓形成门诊患者1年内心血管事件的发生率

背景：目前，有关社区中动脉粥样硬化血栓形成稳定患者心血管（cardiovascular，CV）事件发生率的资料比较少，既往也无国际性队列研究对冠状动脉病（coronary artery disease，CAD）、脑血管病（cerebrovascular disease，CVD）、外周动脉病（peripheral arterial disease，PAD）确诊患者以及此类疾病高危患者不同事件的发生率进行评估。 目的：在患有动脉疾病的门诊患者或存在多个动脉粥样硬化血栓形成危险因素的门诊患者中确定当今世界1年内CV事件的发生率。 设计、地点及参试者：“减少动脉粥样硬化血栓形成维系健康（Reduction of Artherotllrombosis for Continued Health，REACH）”注册研究是一项国际前瞻性队列研究。研究人员于2003—2004年从44个国家、5587名医生入选68236例已确诊的动脉粥样硬化性血管病患者（CAD、PAD、CVD；n=55814）以及至少存在3个动脉粥样硬化血栓形成危险因素的患者（n=12422）。 主要观测指标：CV死亡、心肌梗死（myocardial infarction，MI）及卒中的发生率。结果：截至2006年7月，共有95．22％的患者（n=64977）提供了1年内的结局。心血管死亡、MI及卒中的总体发生率为4．24％；动脉粥样硬化性血管病患者为4．69％，仅存在多个危险因素的患者为2．15％。CAD、CVD及PAD患者CV死亡、MI及卒中的总体发生率分别为4．52％、6．47％和5．35％。CAD、CVD及PAD患者发生终点事件（即CV死亡、MI、卒中）以及因动脉粥样硬化血栓形成事件入院的几率分别为15．20％、14．53％和21．14％。上述事件发生率随症状性动脉疾病病变部位数量的增加而增加，仅存在危险因素的患者为5．31％，有1处症状性动脉疾病的患者为12．58％，有2处症状性动脉疾病的患者为21．14％，有3处症状性动脉疾病的患者为26．27％（趋势P〈0．001）。 结论：在这项当代大型国际研究中，患有动脉粥样硬化性血管病的门诊患者以及有动脉粥样硬化血栓形成危险的门诊患者CV事件的年发生率相对较高。存在多部位病变者CV事件的1年发生率升高。

Identifying sex-specific differences in the carotid revascularisation literature:findings from a scoping review

Objective No systematic review of the literature has dedicated itself to looking at the management of symptomatic carotid stenosis in female patients.In this scoping review,we aimed to identify all randomised controlled trials(RCTs)that reported sex-specific outcomes for patients who underwent carotid revascularisation,and determine whether sufficient information is reported within these studies to assess short-term and long-term outcomes in female patients.Design,setting and participants We systematically searched Medline,Embase,Pubmed and Cochrane libraries for RCTs published between 1991 and 2020 that included female patients and compared either endarterectomy with stenting,or any revascularisation(endarterectomy or stenting)with medical therapy in patients with symptomatic high-grade(>50%)carotid stenosis.Results From 1537 references examined,27 eligible studies were identified.Sex-specific outcomes were reported in 13 studies.Baseline patient characteristics of enrolled female patients were reported in 2 of those 13 studies.Common outcomes reported included stroke and death,however,there was significant heterogeneity in the reporting of both periprocedural and long-term outcomes.Sex-specific differences relating to the degree of stenosis and time from index event to treatment are largely limited to studies comparing endarterectomy to medical therapy.Adverse events were not reported by sex.Conclusions Only half of the previously published RCTs and systematic reviews report sex-specific outcomes.Detailed analyses on the results of carotid artery intervention for female patients with symptomatic stenosis are limited.
