REVISTA ESPANOLA DE CARDIOLOGIA (ENGLISH ED.) 2024; 77:372-380. [PMID: 37783370 DOI: 10.1016/j.rec.2023.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The American Heart Association has recently developed the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score to encourage prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study assessed the distribution of LE8 in the Spanish adult population and its association with all-cause and CVD death. METHODS We used data from 11 616 individuals aged 18 years and older (50.5% women) from the ENRICA study, recruited between 2008 and 2010 and followed up until 2020 to 2022. The LE8 score includes 8 metrics (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, blood lipids and glucose, and blood pressure) and ranges from 0 to 100. The association of LE8 score with mortality was summarized with hazard ratios (HR), obtained from Cox regression. RESULTS In total, 13.2% of participants (range, 6.1%-16.9% across regions) had low cardiovascular health (LE8 ≤ 49). During a median follow-up of 12.9 years, 908 total deaths occurred, and, during a median follow-up of 11.8 years, 207 CVD deaths were ascertained. After adjustment for the main potential confounders and compared with being in the least healthy (lowest) quartile of LE8, the HR (95%CI) of all-cause mortality for the second, third and fourth quartiles were 0.68 (0.56-0.83), 0.63 (0.51-0.78), and 0.53 (0.39-0.72), respectively. The corresponding figures for CVD mortality, after accounting for competing mortality risks, were 0.62 (0.39-0.97), 0.55 (0.32-0.93), and 0.38 (0.16-0.89). CONCLUSIONS A substantial proportion of the Spanish population showed low cardiovascular health. A higher LE8 score, starting from the second quartile, was associated with lower all-cause and CVD mortality.

García-Villarino M, Lambert C, De la Hera JM, Torre ELM, Rodríguez-Lacín JMF, Delgado-Álvarez E. Use of electronic health records for the management of diabetes and its risk factors in the Principality of Asturias from 2014 to 2018. ENDOCRINOL DIAB NUTR 2024; 71:208-215. [PMID: 38897704 DOI: 10.1016/j.endien.2024.03.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the implementation of electronic health records across all hospitals and primary care centres within the National Health System has significantly enhanced access to patients' clinical data. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in primary care settings and to outline its associated cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and epidemiological characteristics. METHODS An observational cross-sectional study was conducted including 89,679 patients diagnosed with T2DM who attended the primary health care system from 2014 to 2018. Data was provided by the Primary Health Care System of the Principality of Asturias (SESPA). RESULTS The estimated prevalence of diagnosed T2DM was 8.01% (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 7.96-8.06) of the total population. Additionally, it was more prevalent in males compared to females (9.90% [95% CI: 9.81-9.99] vs. 6.50% [95% CI: 6.44-6.57]) and increased with age in both sexes. People with T2DM had an average age of 74 years, 52.3% were male, and the most frequently associated CVRF were: dyslipidaemia (47.90%) and hypertension (62.20%). Glycaemic control improved during the 2014-2018 period (31.69%), as did lipid control (23.66%). However, the improvement in blood pressure control (9.34%) was less pronounced for the same period. Regarding the multifactorial control of diabetes (measured by LDL-cholesterol, HbA1C and blood pressure) the overall degree of control improved by 11.55% between 2014 and 2018. CONCLUSION In this 5-year retrospective population-based study, the utilisation of data from electronic medical records provides insights into the prevalence of T2DM in a large population, as well as real-time CVRFs. Leveraging this data facilitates the development of targeted health policies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the prevalence and relative risk of diabetes in the population with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out using the Primary Care Clinical Database (BDCAP) of the Ministry of Health. Relative risks (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for type1 (T1D) and type2 (T2D) diabetes. RESULTS In the group of 2,596,041 hypothyroid patients, we found an OR of 1.77 (95%CI: 1.75-1.80) for T1D, and 1.77 (95%CI: 1.76-1.78) for T2D. This elevated risk was observed in both men and women. Hypothyroid people over 65years of age had a near neutral risk of T1D (0.96 [95%CI: 0.94-0.99]) and T2D (0.99 [95%CI: 0.98-0.99]). Hypothyroid patients receiving replacement therapy showed a higher risk of T1D (1.32 [95%CI: 1.28-1.36]) and T2D (1.23 [95%CI: 1.22-1.24]) compared to untreated hypothyroid patients. In the group of 418,772 people with hyperthyroidism, an increased risk of T1D (1.66 [95%CI: 1.60-1.72]) and T2D (1.71 [95%CI: 1.70-1.73]) was also noticed. This risk was observed in both sexes. Those over 65years of age did not present a high risk of T1D (0.89 [95%CI: 0.83-0.95]) and their risk of T2D was close to neutrality (1.03 [95%CI: 1.02-1.05]). Hyperthyroid patients treated with antithyroid agents had a higher risk of T1D (1.26 [95%CI: 1.14-1.40]) and T2D (1.32 [95%CI: 1.28-1.36]) than those without therapy. CONCLUSION People registered in BDCAP of both sexes, under 65years of age, with thyroid dysfunction have an increased risk of suffering from diabetes, especially those on thyroid medication.

Increased Patient Empowerment Is Associated with Improvement in Anxiety and Depression Symptoms in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Findings from the INDICA Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19084818. [PMID: 35457686 PMCID: PMC9028935 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19084818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Introduction. In cross-sectional analyses, higher levels of patient empowerment have been related to lower symptoms of anxiety and depression. The aims of this study are: (1) to assess if patient empowerment predicts anxiety and depression symptoms after 12 and 24 months among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and (2) to analyze whether a change in patient empowerment is associated with a change in anxiety and depression level. Methods. This is a secondary analysis of the INDICA study, a 24 month-long, multi-arm randomized controlled trial. Patient empowerment (DES-SF), depression (BDI-II), and state-anxiety (STAI-S) were assessed at the baseline (pre-intervention) and after 12 and 24 months. Multilevel mixed linear models with a random intercept were performed to correct for our clustered data. Results. The multilevel regression models showed that the baseline empowerment did not significantly predict anxiety and depression after 12 and 24 months. However, a higher increase in patient empowerment was significantly associated with reductions of anxiety (p < 0.001) and depression levels (p < 0.001). This association was not significantly different between the two follow-ups. Conclusion. This study contributes to the knowledge on how to reduce affective symptoms in patients with uncomplicated T2DM through comprehensive patient-centered interventions, and it highlights patient empowerment as a significant contributor.
