Abstract:
Objective To determine,in our experience,the prevalence and presence of risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MS) in heart transplant recipients.Methods We studied 135 patients who underwent heart transplantation in our hospital from September 2000 to December 2011,According to the diagnostic criteria of MS,they were divided into two groups.All variables that could be related to the development of MS during the follow-up period were analyzed.The prevalence and presence of risk factors for MS in our experience were determined.Student t-test,Wilcoxon rank sum test and x2 test were used for univariate statistical analysis and logistic regression for multivariate analysis.Results (1) Of the 135 patients,63 developed MS (46.67％) during a mean follow-up period of 47.3 months.The multivariate analysis identified the follows as predictive factors for the development of MS:age (OR=1.09,95％ CI 1.01-1.22,P＜0.05),body mass index (BMI) (OR=1.65,95％ CI 1.16-1.87,P＜0.05),history of DM (OR =3.27,95％ CI 1.12-34.21,P＜0.05).Conclusion In our population,the prevalence of MS after heart transplant is 46.67％ during a mean follow-up period of 47.3 months.Age,pre-operative overweight especially BMI,and history of DM were significant and independent risk factors for the development of MS during the follow-up period.For these patients,dose of immunosuppressant and diet control are important.
