- Fasting glucose levels, incident diabetes, subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events in apparently healthy adults: A 12-year longitudinal study(2016) SITNIK, Debora; SANTOS, Itamar S.; GOULART, Alessandra C.; STANIAK, Henrique L.; MANSON, JoAnn E.; LOTUFO, Paulo A.; BENSENOR, Isabela M.We aimed to study the association between fasting plasma glucose, diabetes incidence and cardiovascular burden after 10-12years. We evaluated diabetes and cardiovascular events incidences, carotid intima-media thickness and coronary artery calcium scores in ELSA-Brasil (the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health) baseline (2008-2010) of 1536 adults without diabetes in 1998. We used regression models to estimate association with carotid intima-media thickness (in mm), coronary artery calcium scores (in Agatston points) and cardiovascular events according to fasting plasma glucose in 1998. Adjusted diabetes incidence rate was 9.8/1000 person-years (95% confidence interval: 7.7-13.6/1000 person-years). Incident diabetes was positively associated with higher fasting plasma glucose. Fasting plasma glucose levels 110-125mg/dL were associated with higher carotid intima-media thickness (=0.028; 95% confidence interval: 0.003-0.053). Excluding those with incident diabetes, there was a borderline association between higher carotid intima-media thickness and fasting plasma glucose 110-125mg/dL (=0.030; 95% confidence interval: -0.005 to 0.065). Incident diabetes was associated with higher carotid intima-media thickness (=0.034; 95% confidence interval: 0.015-0.053), coronary artery calcium scores 400 (odds ratio=2.84; 95% confidence interval: 1.17-6.91) and the combined outcome of a coronary artery calcium scores 400 or incident cardiovascular event (odds ratio=3.50; 95% confidence interval: 1.60-7.65). In conclusion, fasting plasma glucose in 1998 and incident diabetes were associated with higher cardiovascular burden.
- Time-To-Treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Unit of First Contact in the ERICO Study(2016) SANTOS, Rafael Caire de Oliveira dos; GOULART, Alessandra Carvalho; KISUKURI, Alan Loureiro Xavier; BRANDAO, Rodrigo Martins; SITNIK, Debora; STANIAK, Henrique Lane; BITTENCOURT, Marcio Sommer; LOTUFO, Paulo Andrade; BENSENOR, Isabela Martins; SANTOS, Itamar de SouzaBackground: To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies evaluating the influence of the unit of the first contact on the frequency and time of pharmacological treatment during an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event. Objectives: The main objective was to investigate if the unit of first contact influenced the frequency and time of aspirin treatment in the Strategy of Registry of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ERICO) study. Methods: We analyzed the pharmacological treatment time in 830 ERICO participants - 700 individuals for whom the hospital was the unit of first contact and 130 who initially sought primary care units. We built logistic regression models to study whether the unit of first contact was associated with a treatment time of less than three hours. Results: Individuals who went to primary care units received the first aspirin dose in those units in 75.6% of the cases. The remaining 24.4% received aspirin at the hospital. Despite this finding, individuals from primary care still had aspirin administered within three hours more frequently than those who went to the hospital (76.8% vs 52.6%; p<0.001 and 100% vs. 70.7%; p=0.001 for non ST-elevation ACS and ST-elevation myocardial infarction, respectively). In adjusted models, individuals coming from primary care were more likely to receive aspirin more quickly (odds ratio: 3.66; 95% confidence interval: 2.06-6.51). Conclusions: In our setting, individuals from primary care were more likely to receive aspirin earlier. Enhancing the ability of primary care units to provide early treatment and safe transportation may be beneficial in similar settings.
