The predictive study of the relation between elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and mortality in peritoneal dialysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio constitutes a strong risk predictor of cardiovascular events. However, the association between this ratio and cardiovascular death in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is uncertain. The study aimed to investigate whether a high LDL-C/HDL-C ratio could predict both cardiovascular and all-cause mortalities in patients on PD. METHODS:A total of 1616 incident patients on PD included from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2013 were followed up with until 31 December 2018 in this single-center prospective cohort study. Participants were divided into three categories according to LDL-C/HDL-C ratio tertile. The primary endpoint was cardiovascular mortality; the secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality. RESULTS:The mean age of the study cohort was 47.5?years and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 21.6?kg/m2. During a median follow-up period of 47.6?months, 492 patients died, including 246 (50.0%) due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). A multivariate analysis revealed that the highest LDL-C/HDL-C ratio tertile was significantly associated with increased CVD mortality [hazard ratio (HR): 1.69, 95% CI: 1.24-2.29; P?= 0.001] and all-cause mortality (HR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.18-1.81; P?= 0.001) relative to the lowest tertile. After adjusting for covariates, the HRs of cardiovascular and all-cause mortalities were 1.84 (95% CI: 1.25-2.71; P = 0.002) and 1.35 (95% CI: 1.03-1.77; P = 0.032). Subgroup analysis showed that the risk of CVD death rose with a higher LDL-C/HDL-C ratio among PD patients who were female, younger than 65?years old, without being malnourished (BMI???18.5?kg/m2 or albumin ?35?g/L), and with a history of diabetes or CVD, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:A high LDL-C/HDL-C ratio is an independent risk factor for both cardiovascular and all-cause mortalities among PD patients.

Project description:BackgroundInflammatory responses and lipid metabolism disorders contribute to the development and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of lipid-related inflammatory parameters in patients with HCC.MethodsFrom January 2010 to June 2017, we enrolled 1,639 patients with HCC at Beijing Ditan Hospital. Multivariate Cox regression analysis and area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) analysis were used to evaluate and compare the predictability and reliability of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), neutrophil-to-HDL-C ratio (NHR), monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio (MHR), and lymphocyte-to-HDL-C ratio (LHR) values. A restricted cubic spline was used to explore the association between the NHR and 3-year mortality in patients with HCC. Differences in survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. The results were validated in an internal cohort between July 2017 and October 2019 (n = 373).ResultsAfter adjusting for confounding variables, NHR was independently associated with 3-year mortality, both as a continuous and categorical variable (both p < 0.05). The correlation between the mortality and the MHR and LHR was not statistically significant. The NHR showed a suitable prognostic value (AUC at 3 years: 0.740), similar to that of the Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) (AUC at 3 years: 0.761). In the validation cohort, the AUC of the NHR was 0.734 at 3 years. The optimal cut-off values of NHR and MELD were 3.5 and 9, respectively. The 3-year survival rates in the low- (NHR < 3.5 and MELD <9) and high-risk (NHR ≥ 3.5 and MELD ≥9) groups were 81.8 and 19.4%, respectively, in the training cohort, and 84.6 and 27.5%, respectively, in the validation cohort.ConclusionBaseline NHR is a promising prognostic parameter for mortality in patients with HCC and patients with NHR ≥ 3.5 and MELD ≥9 have a high mortality rate.

Project description:Background and objectiveKlotho is a protein that is closely related to human aging. Soluble Klotho (S-Klotho) is a circulating protein, and its level decreases in response to systemic inflammation. The relationship between the platelet/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (PHR), an emerging inflammatory index, and S-Klotho concentrations is still unclear. In addition, the mean platelet volume has been confirmed to have a significant negative association with S-Klotho concentrations, but the relationship between the platelet count (PC) and S-Klotho concentrations has not yet been reported.MethodsData from individuals who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during the five cycles from 2007 to 2016 were retrieved for analysis. Linear regression, two-piecewise linear regression, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) methods were used to analyze the associations of the PHR index and its components with S-Klotho concentrations. In addition, subgroup analysis and effect modification tests were conducted.ResultsA total of 11,123 participants (5463 men (48.17%)), with an average age of 56.2 years, were included. After full adjustment, the S-Klotho levels of participants in the highest quartile group of PHR (β: -51.19, 95% CI: -75.41 to -26.97, P < 0.001) and the highest quartile group of PC (β: -72.34, 95% CI: -93.32 to -51.37, P < 0.0001) were significantly lower than those in their respective lowest quartile groups, and a significant downward trend was presented among the four groups (P for trend < 0.05, respectively). However, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations were not significantly associated with S-Klotho concentrations. RCS revealed that the PHR and PC were nonlinearly associated with S-Klotho concentrations; two-piecewise linear regression revealed that the inflection points were 175.269 and 152, respectively, and that these associations slightly weakened after the inflection point. According to the subgroup analysis, liver disease status enhanced the association between the PC and S-Klotho concentrations.ConclusionsBoth the PHR and PC were significantly negatively associated with S-Klotho concentrations, and these associations were nonlinear. There was no significant association between HDL-C and S-Klotho concentrations. Liver disease status enhances the negative association between the PC and S-Klotho concentrations, and the specific mechanism deserves further exploration.
