Systemic lupus erythematosus in a multiethnic US cohort (LUMINA): XXIII. Baseline predictors of vascular events

Abstract: Smoking, previously not reported in SLE, emerged as a predictor of vascular events and should be strongly discouraged. Antiphospholipid antibodies and CRP support the role of inflammation and autoimmunity in the development of accelerated atherosclerosis in SLE. Ethnicity was not associated with vascular events in our patients.

“…Según estudios publicados previamente [24,25], los factores de riesgo cardiovasculares tradicionales, como la dislipidemia, el tabaquismo, la edad avanzada, la hipertensión arterial y el sexo masculino, están asociados a un riesgo incrementado para presentar un evento cardiovascular entre los pacientes con LES. Con respecto al género, el sexo masculino es un factor de riesgo para desarrollar un evento cardiovascular, sin embargo, en nuestro estudio al analizar la OR de esta variable se observó que los pacientes de sexo masculino presentan menor OR a presentar un evento cardiovascular.…”

“…Los niveles aumentados de creatinina se asociaron a un mayor riesgo de padecer coronariopatía en la cohorte del John Hopkins [24], encontrándose también en nuestro estudio una asociación entre la presencia de manifestaciones renales y el riesgo para enfermedades cardiovasculares. Otro aspecto a resaltar es la asociación de las manifestaciones neuropsiquiátricas con el riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular en la literatura [19], sin embargo, nosotros no encontramos dicha asociación en este estudio.…”

“…However, these associations were no longer significant in the logistic regression analysis and this could be attributed to the small sample size. The true contributions of these steroids sparing agents towards cardiovascular risks remain largely unknown but the LUMINA paediatric lupus cohort did demonstrate the potential role of azathioprine as a predictor of atherosclerosis (51) and vascular events (52). As this was a cross sectional study we could not determine the causal relationship between atherosclerosis and the various risk factors.…”

“…In the study of large case series of patients with SLE, 6-20% and 4-15% of deaths were due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cerebrovascular disease, respectively [12][13][14]. To estimate the onset risk of accelerated atherosclerosis in SLE patients, several markers have been introduced including C-reactive protein [15], lipoprotein (a) [16], homocysteine [17], inflammatory cytokines [18,19], yet the satisfactory results have not been obtained.…”
