Association of time in range with the severity of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetic patients / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the association of time in range(TIR) with the severity of coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 216 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease were recruited and undergone anthropometric and biochemical measurements, continuous glucose monitoring, and calculation of SYNTAX score. TIR was defined as the percentage of time within the glucose range of 3.9-10.0 mmol/L during 24 h. Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the correlation factors of SYNTAX score. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association of TIR with the severity of coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome. Results:Compared with patients with mild coronary artery disease, TIR in patients with moderate to severe coronary artery disease was lower[(69.4±17.3)% vs (60.8±17.8)%, t=3.0, P=0.003], and HbA 1C of patients with moderate to severe coronary artery disease was higher [(9.6±1.7)% vs (8.8±1.6)%, t=3.3, P=0.001]. SYNTAX score was negatively correlated with TIR ( r=-0.251, P<0.01) and positively correlated with HbA 1C ( r=0.249, P<0.01). Moreover, compared with HbA 1C (standardized coefficients=0.181, P=0.007), TIR (standardized coefficients=-0.192, P=0.004) had a greater influence on SYNTAX score. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that TIR, HbA 1C, duration of diabetes and smoking were independently correlated with SYNTAX score. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that compared with TIR Q1, Q3 and Q4 were independent protective factors for moderate to severe coronary artery disease (respectively, OR=0.61 and 0.59, 95% CI 0.39-0.96 and 0.38-0.94, P=0.014 and 0.009) and acute coronary syndrome (respectively, OR=0.51 and 0.39, 95% CI 0.32-0.95 and 0.26-0.75, P=0.022 and 0.008). Conclusion:TIR was significantly and independently correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome in type 2 diabetes mellitus after controlling confounding factors. When TIR level was decreased, the severity of coronary artery disease was aggravated, and SYNTAX score and the risk of acute coronary syndrome was increased.
