ABSTRACT

The principal objective of this investigation was to analyze the association between diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and the presence of aortic valve sclerosis (AVS). For this study we used results from 1000 consecutive outpatients (473 males), older than 50 years of age (average 67.6 years), that had been examined with Doppler echocardiogram and anterior and lateral chest radiographs. Overall, 195 patients (19.5%) were diagnosed with DISH and 283 (28.3%) with AVS. DISH was more prevalent than AVS in males (66.7% vs. 42.6%, p< 0.0001) and in older patients (73.6 ± 9 years vs. 66.1 ± 9 years, p < 0.0001). Furthermore, 55.4% of patients with dorsal DISH presented aortic sclerosis calcification vs. 21.7% of patients free of DISH (OR = 4.47; 95% CI = 3.22-6.21). The adjusted odds ratio (OR) was calculated by sex and age resulting in 3.04 (95% CI = 2.12-4.36; p < .0001). A statistically significant association was found between DISH and AVS in accordance to age and sex. The biological plausibility of this association is based on similar risk factors, pathogenic mechanisms and vascular complications.


El objetivo principal fue analizar la asociación entre la hiperostosis esquelética idiopática difusa (DISH) y la presencia de esclerosis valvular aórtica (AVS). Se evaluaron los resultados de 1000 pacientes ambulatorios consecutivos (473 varones), mayores de 50 años (promedio, 67.6 años), que habían sido examinados con un ecocardiograma Doppler y radiología torácica anterior y lateral. Globalmente, 195 pacientes (19.5%) tuvieron diagnóstico de DISH y 283 (28.3%) de AVS. DISH fue más prevalente que AVS en varones (66.7% vs. 42.6%, p < 0.0001) y en pacientes de mayor edad (73.6 ± 9 años vs. 66.1 ± 9 años, p < 0.0001). Además, 55.4% de los pacientes con DISH dorsal presentaron AVS vs. 21.7% de los pacientes sin DISH (OR = 4.47; 95% CI = 3.22-6.21). El odds ratio (OR) ajustado por sexo y edad fue 3.04 (95% CI = 2.12-4.36; p < 0.0001). Se encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre DISH y AVS, que se mantuvo después de ajustar por sexo y edad. La plausibilidad biológica de esta asociación se basa en los factores de riesgo, mecanismos patogénicos y complicaciones vasculares compartidos.

ABSTRACT

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is a condition of unknown cause, characterized by calcification and ossification of entheseal sites, which generally causes ankylosis of the spinal column and ossification of the extra-spinal ligaments or tendons. The case reported is from the cervical region of the spinal column of skeletal remains. Knowledge of the multiple clinical and functional implications analyzed is of great importance when approaching patients with said manifestations.


La hiperostosis esquelética difusa idiopática es una afección de causa desconocida, caracterizada por calcificación y osificación de sitios de entesis, que generalmente ocasiona anquilosis de la columna vertebral y osificación de ligamentos o tendones. El caso reportado es a partir de la región cervical de la columna vertebral de un resto esquelético. El conocimiento de las múltiples implicaciones clínicas y funcionales analizadas es de gran importancia para el momento del abordaje de pacientes con dichas manifestaciones.
