ABSTRACT: Background
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death worldwide, following coronary heart disease and stroke, and many risk factors for VTE are not yet clear. Our study investigated the association between multiple inflammatory gene polymorphisms and VTE prognosis, aiming to find a new predictor of VTE prognosis.Methods
Based on our previous studies, we detected the plasma levels of serum amyloid A protein (SAA), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and their 8 gene polymorphisms by ELISA and a multiplex ligation detection reaction (iMLDR) method in 284 patients with VTE. All subjects were followed up for 5 years.Results
The 5-year follow-up results of this study showed that 62 of the 284 patients (21.83%) had reached the endpoint (all-cause death). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses revealed that the mortality rate of VTE patients with a high Simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (SPESI) score and carrying IL-1 rs1800587 mutation genotypes was significantly increased (log-rank p=0.000 and 0.034 respectively). The multifactor Cox regression results confirmed that the mortality rate of patients who carrying IL-1 rs1800587 mutation genotypes was significantly increased (HR=2.982; 95% CI: 1.681-5.100). The mortality rate of those carrying IL-1 rs1143634 mutation genotypes was significantly decreased (HR=0.294; 95% CI: 0.132-0.652). There were no significant differences in mortality rates between wild-type and mutant genotypes of IL-1 rs1143634, IL-1 rs2234650, SAA rs11603089, and TNF-? rs1800629 (P>0.05).Conclusion
A high SPESI score and the presence of the IL-1 rs1800587 mutant genotype predict shorter survival in patients with VTE, whereas the IL-1 rs1143634 genotype is associated with a lower mortality rate. Screening for mutations in inflammation-related genes has prognostic value in the clinical management of VTE.
