Résumé
ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the cardiovascular risk of patients with post-surgical hypoparathyroidism through coronary calcium score (CACS) evaluation and cardiovascular risk calculators. Subjects and methods: Patients with post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (HG = 29) were compared to a control group (CG = 29), matched by sex and age. Demographic and clinical data were captured by a questionnaire or patient files. Both groups performed a thoracic-computed tomography to evaluate the CACS and the cardiovascular risk was calculated by two risk calculators. Results: In the HG, the supplementation of calcium varied between 500 to 2,000 mg/day and the mean calcitriol was 0.5 ± 0.29 mcg/day. The mean serum calcium and phosphorus were 8.32 ± 0.68 and 4.92 ± 0.87 mg/dL, respectively, and in the range recommended for hypoparathyroidism. The Brazilian Society of Cardiology's risk calculator showed a difference among groups, with no patient in the HG with low risk, but the CACS was similar. A positive CACS in the HG was associated with obesity and high BMI but not with calcium and/or vitamin D supplementation. Conclusion: In conclusion, patients with hypoparathyroidism did not show increased CACS, and it was not related to supplementation.
Résumé
Abstract Objective The aims of the study were to evaluate, after pregnancy, the glycemic status of women with history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to identify clinical variables associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Methods Retrospective cohort of 279 women with GDM who were reevaluated with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) after pregnancy. Characteristics of the index pregnancy were analyzed as risk factors for the future development of prediabetes (IFG or IGT), and T2DM. Results: T2DM was diagnosed in 34 (12.2%) patients, IFG in 58 (20.8%), and IGT in 35 (12.5%). Women with postpartum T2DM showed more frequently a family history of T2DM, higher pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), lower gestational age, higher fasting and 2-hour plasma glucose levels on the OGTT at the diagnosis of GDM, higher levels of hemoglobin A1c, and a more frequent insulin requirement during pregnancy. Paternal history of T2DM (odds ratio [OR] =5.67; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] =1.64-19.59; p =0.006), first trimester fasting glucose value (OR =1.07; 95%CI =1.03-1.11; p =0.001), and insulin treatment during pregnancy (OR =15.92; 95%CI =5.54-45.71; p < 0.001) were significant independent risk factors for the development of T2DM. Conclusion A high rate of abnormal glucose tolerance was found in women with previous GDM. Family history of T2DM, higher pre-pregnancy BMI, early onset of GDM, higher glucose levels, and insulin requirement during pregnancy were important risk factors for the early identification of women at high risk of developing T2DM. These findings may be useful for developing preventive strategies.
Objetivo Os objetivos do estudo foram avaliar o estado glicêmico de mulheres com história de diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) após o parto e identificar fatores associados ao desenvolvimento de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), glicemia de jejum alterada (GJA) e tolerância diminuída à glicose (TDG). Métodos Coorte retrospectiva de 279 mulheres com DMG reavaliadas com um teste oral de tolerância à glicose (TOTG) após a gestação. Foram analisados fatores prognósticos da gestação índice e fatores de risco para o futuro desenvolvimento de pré-diabetes (GJA ou TDG) e DM2. Resultados: Diagnosticou-se DM2 em 34 pacientes (12,2%), GJA em 58 (20,8%) e TDG em 35 (12,5%). Mulheres que evoluíram para DM2 apresentaram maior frequência de história familiar de DM2, índice de massa corporal (IMC) pré-gestacional mais elevado, menor idade gestacional, níveis superiores de glicemia de jejum e 2 horas após glicose no TOTG ao diagnóstico do DMG, hemoglobina glicada mais elevada, e uso mais frequente de insulina na gestação. História paterna de DM2 (odds ratio [OR] = 5,67; intervalo de confiança de 95% [IC95%] = 1,64-19,59; p = 0,006), glicemia de jejum do primeiro trimestre (OR = 1,07; IC95% = 1,03-1,11; p = 0,001) e o uso de insulina na gestação (OR = 15,92; IC95% = 5,54-45,71; p < 0,001) foram fatores de risco independentes para o desenvolvimento de DM2. Conclusão Houve elevada incidência de alterações no metabolismo da glicose em mulheres com DMG prévio. História familiar de DM2, IMC pré-gestacional elevado, DMG diagnosticado mais precocemente na gestação, com glicemias mais elevadas e necessidade de insulina, foram importantes fatores de risco associados à identificação precoce de mulheres com alto risco de desenvolvimento de DM2. Este conhecimento pode ser útil para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de prevenção.
