Abstract
Growing evidence has suggested that hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is a risk factor for cerebral infarction. However, the effect of HHcy on postoperative cerebral ischemia is still unclear. We aim to investigate the relationship between HHcy and postoperative ischemia of adult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). A total of 138 adult patients with MMD were prospectively recruited from July 1 to December 31, 2019. After excluding 14 patients accepting conservative therapy, all 124 patients who underwent surgical treatment were enrolled. Patients were grouped according to postoperative ischemia and HHcy presentation, respectively. Clinical data and laboratory examinations were compared by statistical analyses. Potential risk factors were evaluated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Comparing to the normal, patients with postoperative ischemia were higher in serum homocysteine (Hcy) level (P = 0.039) and HHcy ratio (P = 0.035). Furthermore, HHcy was more common in males (P = 0.007) than females. Logistic analysis results showed that HHcy (OR 5.234, 95% CI 1.127-24.315; P = 0.035) was an independent risk factor. HHcy was significantly associated with postoperative ischemia in MMD patients. Our study found that HHcy was correlated to the risk of postoperative ischemia. HHcy can be used as an indicator and a potential therapeutic target for postoperative ischemia in adult patients with MMD. URL: http://www.chictr.org . Unique identifier: ChiCTR2000031412.

Homocysteine and the Risk of Cardiovascular Events and All-Cause Death in Elderly Population: A Community-Based Prospective Cohort Study. Ther Clin Risk Manag 2020; 16:471-481. [PMID: 32547044 PMCID: PMC7250705 DOI: 10.2147/tcrm.s239496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2019] [Accepted: 05/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The association between homocysteine and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and all-cause death was inconclusive. A community-based prospective cohort study was carried out in Beijing to evaluate this association in elderly population for more effective clinical prediction and primary prevention of CVD. Patients and Methods Participants were randomly selected from Beijing, China. Questionnaire survey, physical examinations, and laboratory tests were carried out to collect baseline information and investigate clinical characteristics. Each participant was predetermined to be followed by 5 years. CVD events and death were collected as primary variables. A Cox regression analysis was performed to assess the risk of CVD events, CVD death, and all-cause death contributed by homocysteine as well as some other risk factors. Results A total of 1257 participants with an average age of 69.16 years were enrolled in this study. After adjusting for confounders, the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals of CVD event, CVD death, and all-cause death caused by intermediate-to-severe hyperhomocysteinemia as compared with normal homocysteine levels were 1.68 (95% CI 1.06–2.67), 1.97 (95% CI 0.95–4.29) and 2.02 (95% CI 1.26–3.24), respectively. Intermediate-to-severe hyperhomocysteinemia increased the risks of CVD event (HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.01–4.26) and all-cause death (HR 3.08, 95% CI 1.56–6.07) among male participants. However, the positive association was not statistically significant among female participants (HR 1.59, 95% CI 0.83–3.04 for CVD event and HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.52–6.07 for all-cause death). Every 5μmol/L increment in homocysteine concentration was shown to be associated with a 4% (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01–1.07) and 5% (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01–1.07) higher risk of CVD events and all-cause death in all participants. There was no significant association between moderate hyperhomocysteinemia and the risk of the CVD events and all-cause death. Conclusion Intermediate-to-severe hyperhomocysteinemia was significantly associated with CVD events and all-cause death in elderly population without a history of ischemia or congestive heart failure (CHF). The positive association was pronounced among males.
