- Abstract: Objective To explore the impact of preoperative fibrinogen levels on the 1-year adverse outcomes after endovascular revascularization in patients with diabetes complicated with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans(LEASO).Methods We collected the baseline clinical data of 289 patients with diabetes complicated with LEASO,who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2020 to December 2022 for endovascular revascularization.All patients were followed up for 13 to 24 months after interventional therapy,with the follow-up information including major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)such as all-cause death,acute myocardial infarction and acute stroke,as well as major adverse lower extremity events(MALEs)such as rest pain in the lower extremities,ulcers or skin defects,gangrene,reocclusion and amputation.A multivariable Cox regression model was used to analyze the related risk factors for adverse outcomes 1 year after endovascular revascularization in patients with diabetes complicated with LEASO,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were constructed to evaluate the predictive efficacy and optimal cutoff value of fibrinogen levels for endpoint events,and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were drawn.Sensitivity analysis was made to assess the differences in the impact of fibrinogen on endpoint events across various subgroups.Results We recruited a total of 289 patients(55 patients in MACEs and 234 in non-MACEs;68 patients in MALEs and 221 in non-MALEs),with a mean age of 67.6±9.3 years,including 215 males.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that elevated plasma fibrinogen was an independent risk factor for MACEs(HR=1.250,95％CI:1.053-1.484,P=0.011)and all-cause death(HR=1.297,95％CI:1.030-1.633,P=0.027)in the cohort followed up 1 year after interventional therapy,but had no significant impact on the occurrence of MALEs(P=0.625).Baseline plasma fibrinogen level 4.32 g/L was the optimal cutoff value for predicting MACEs(sensitivity=0.673,95％CI:0.582-0.767;specificity=0.688,95％CI:0.562-0.775)and all-cause death(sensitivity=0.679,95％CI:0.483-0.880;specificity=0.651,95％CI:0.465-0.755).The AUC for predicting MACEs and all-cause death after interventional therapy was 0.652(95％CI:0.564 2-0.739 1)and 0.619(95％CI:0.507-0.733),respectively.After a median follow-up of 14.03 months,patients with preoperative fibrinogen level ≥ 4.32 g/L had a significantly higher risk of MACEs and all-cause death compared to patients with preoperative fibrinogen＜4.32 g/L(P＜0.001),and there were no significant differences in different subgroups,including gender(male/female,interaction P=0.836),age(＜65 years/≥65 years,interaction P=0.211),smoking status(never smoked/current or former smoker,interaction P=0.779),chronic kidney disease(yes/no,interaction P=0.360),and heart failure(yes/no,interaction P=0.114).Conclusion Preoperative plasma fibrinogen≥4.32 g/L is an effective indicator for predicting MACEs and all-cause mortality following endovascular revascularization in patients with diabetes and LEASO.
