Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between serum remnant cholesterol(RC)levels and the occurrence of arteriosclerosis obliterans(ASO)of the lower extremity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 355 cases of T2DM patients hospitalized in the department of endocrinology of Tianjin Hospital affiliated with Tianjin University from January 2018 to December 2022 were selected and di-vided into the non-ASO group(180 cases)and the ASO group(175 cases)according to whether the patients were combined with ASO or not.General clinical and laboratory data of patients were collected and RC levels were calculated;Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between RC lev-els and metabolic indices,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between serum RC levels and the risk of ASO in T2DM patients.Results Compared with the non-ASO group,the ASO group had older age,the course of diabetes was longer,the incidence rates of diabetic peripher-al neuropathy,diabetic nephropathy,coronary heart disease,hypertension,and cerebral infarction were higher,statin use was more frequent,the levels of systolic blood pressure(SBP),triglyceride(TG),creatinine(Cr),uric acid(UA),and RC were higher,and the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)was lower,all differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that serum RC levels were positively correlated with TG,total cholesterol(TC),and UA(r=0.628,0.289,0.192,P＜0.001),and negatively correlated with HDL-C(r=-0.202,P＜0.001).Multivariate logistic regression anal-ysis revealed that age(OR=1.095,95％CI:1.066-1.124,P＜0.001),diabetic peripheral neuropathy(OR=1.877,95％CI:1.114-3.162,P=0.018),diabetic nephropathy(OR=2.149,95％CI:1.272-3.629,P=0.004),systolic blood pressure(OR=1.017,95％CI:1.004-1.031,P=0.012),and RC(OR=2.644,95％CI:1.569-4.453,P＜0.001)were independent influencing factors for ASO in T2DM patients.Conclusion Elevated serum RC levels are closely associated with ASO in T2DM patients.
