Abstract
Background and aim: Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a chronic
inflammation that frequently involves the aorta and its major branches. It has
been known that atherosclerosis can occur in some TA patients.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the risk factors
associated with the development of atherosclerosis in TA. Methods:
This retrospective study enrolled a total of 101 TA patients. All patients were
divided into two groups according to the absence or presence of atherosclerosis.
Baseline demographic features and clinical characteristics were compared between
two groups. A logistic model was applied to determine the risk factors
associated with the development of atherosclerosis. Results: Our
data suggested that the disease duration of patients in the atherosclerosis
group was significantly longer than that of patients in the non-atherosclerosis
group [96(18.00, 180.00) versus 48.00(12.00, 111.00) months]
(P = .015). In addition, the average age of patients with
atherosclerosis was significantly older compared to patients without
atherosclerosis [44.00(38.00, 48.00)versus 28.50(24.00,37.00)years]
(P < .001). Logistic regression
analysis showed that the risk of developing atherosclerosis increased by 9.2%
per 1 year increase in the disease duration (P = .005, OR
1.092, 95%CI: 1.027-1.162). Patients with TG/HDL-C ratio more than 0.8875 were
associated with a 5.861fold increase of risk developing atherosclerosis
(P < .001, OR 5.861, 95%CI:
2.299-14.939). Conclusion: Our study indicated that prolonged
disease duration and elevated TG/HDL-C ratio are associated with the development
of atherosclerosis in TA patients.
