However, it is unclear whether the estimated high-density lipoprotein （HDL） particle size （eHDL-S）, the ratio of HDL cholesterol （HDL-C） to apoprotein A-I （apoA-I）, is associated with the clinical outcomes of diabetic patients with stablecoronary artery disease （CAD）.MethodsWe per-formed a prospective cohort study of 328 patients diagnosed with stable CAD by coronary angiography. Patients were followed up for a mean duration of 12 months. The patients were divided into three groups by the tertiles of eHDL-S： low eHDL-S （〈 0.71,n= 118）; interme-diate eHDL-S （0.71-0.79,n= 111）; and high eHDL-S （〉 0.79,n= 99）. The associations between the baseline eHDL-S and short-term out-comes were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional regression.Results The low eHDL-S group had higher trig-lyceride, hemoglobin A1c, uric acid, and leukocyte count than the other groups. During the follow-up period, 47/328 patients experienced a pre-specified outcome. According to the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the incidence of pre-specified outcomes was lower in the high eHDL-S group （P = 0.04）. However, eHDL-S was not independently associated with adverse outcomes in Cox proportional hazards regression （haz-ard ratio （HR）： 0.23, 95% confidence interval （95% CI）： 0.01-11.24,P = 0.493）.ConclusionAlthough the eHDL-S was associated with inflammatory biomarkers, it was not independently associated with the short-term prognosis of diabetic patients with stable CAD in the era of revascularization and potent statin therapy.展开更多
