RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Decreased prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was associated with adverse outcomes in many clinical diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between baseline PNI value and adverse clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). DESIGN: The Personalized Antiplatelet Therapy According to CYP2C19 Genotype in Coronary Artery Disease (PRACTICE) study, a prospective cohort study of 15 250 patients with CAD, was performed from December 2016 to October 2021. The longest follow-up period was 5 years. This study was a secondary analysis of the PRACTICE study. SETTING: The study setting was Xinjiang Medical University Affiliated First Hospital in China. PARTICIPANTS: Using the 50th and 90th percentiles of the PNI in the total cohort as two cut-off limits, we divided all participants into three groups: Q1 (PNI <51.35, n = 7515), Q2 (51.35 ≤ PNI < 59.80, n = 5958) and Q3 (PNI ≥ 59.80, n = 1510). The PNI value was calculated as 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (per mm3). PRIMARY OUTCOME: The primary outcome measure was mortality, including all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM). RESULTS: In 14 983 participants followed for a median of 24 months, a total of 448 ACM, 333 CM, 1162 major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and 1276 major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were recorded. The incidence of adverse outcomes was significantly different among the three groups (p <0.001). There were 338 (4.5%), 77 (1.3%) and 33 (2.2%) ACM events in the three groups, respectively. A restricted cubic spline displayed a J-shaped relationship between the PNI and worse 5-year outcomes, including ACM, CM, MACE and MACCE. After adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, we found that only patients with extremely high PNI values in the Q3 subgroup or low PNI values in the Q1 subgroup had a greater risk of ACM (Q3 vs Q2, HR: 1.617, 95% CI 1.012 to 2.585, p=0.045; Q1 vs Q2, HR=1.995, 95% CI 1.532 to 2.598, p <0.001). CONCLUSION: This study revealed a J-shaped relationship between the baseline PNI and ACM in patients with CAD, with a greater risk of ACM at extremely high PNI values. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05174143.

BACKGROUND: There is an urgent need to learn more about the epidemiological features of dyslipidemia in youth to address the high burden of cardiovascular disease. METHODS: This experiment was an observational, cross-sectional study. The samples were collected from 22,379 college students at Xinjiang Medical University. RESULT: The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 13.17%, which was significantly higher in men (23%) than in women (7.2%), p < 0.01. Similarly, the prevalence rate of obesity in men (11.4%) was significantly higher than that in women (3.4%). The composition of blood lipids, such as triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), began to increase gradually from the age of 22 and showed a sharp increase after the age of 30; however, a reverse trend was present in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). In terms of the proportion of dyslipidemia in both men and women, low HDL-C accounted for the largest proportion (74%), followed by elevated TGs (14.5%). The overall distribution of rates of dyslipidemia and excess weight showed a U-shaped trend with increasing age, with the lowest rates seen in the 20-24 age group. CONCLUSION: Our study sheds light on the epidemiological features of dyslipidemia in young adults and enriches the limited data available on dyslipidemia, providing a reference for the close monitoring and control of risk factors to reduce the occurrence and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events.
