Project description:BackgroundThere is significant heterogeneity in the incidence and severity of diabetes-associated vascular complications and there is no routine biomarker that accurately predicts these outcomes. This pilot study investigates the role of global coagulation assays in patients with diabetes mellitus.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, patients with diabetes not on anticoagulation or dialysis and without active malignancy were recruited from endocrinology clinics. Blood samples were collected for global coagulation assays including thromboelastography (TEG), thrombin generation using calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT), and fibrin generation and fibrinolysis using the overall hemostatic potential (OHP) assay. The results were compared with healthy controls.ResultsA total of 147 adult patients including 19 with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), 120 with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and eight with latent autoimmune diabetes were recruited. Compared with 153 healthy controls, patients with diabetes demonstrated higher maximum amplitude (68.6 vs 60.2 mm, p < 0.001) on TEG, and higher OHP (9.3 vs 6.4, p < 0.001) with comparable CAT parameters. Patients with T2DM were more hypercoagulable than those with T1DM on most biomarkers. Higher maximum amplitude, velocity index, and OHP were associated with increased risk of complications (C-stat 0.82). Patients with history of microvascular complications appear to have more hypercoagulable thrombin and fibrin generation than those without.ConclusionPatients with diabetes have more hypercoagulable profiles on global coagulation assays, particularly patients with T2DM and those with microvascular complications. Further studies with longitudinal follow-up are ongoing to evaluate the utility of global coagulation assays in predicting long-term patient outcomes.

Project description:Background: Untreated hypothyroidism is associated with acquired von Willebrand syndrome, and hyperthyroidism is associated with increased thrombosis risk. However, the causal effects of thyroid function on hemostasis, coagulation, and fibrinolysis are unknown. Methods: In a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study with genome-wide association variants, we assessed causality of genetically predicted hypothyroidism (N = 134,641), normal-range thyrotropin (TSH; N = 54,288) and free thyroxine (fT4) (N = 49,269), hyperthyroidism (N = 51,823), and thyroid peroxidase antibody positivity (N = 25,821) on coagulation (activated partial thromboplastin time, von Willebrand factor [VWF], factor VIII [FVIII], prothrombin time, factor VII, fibrinogen) and fibrinolysis (D-dimer, tissue plasminogen activator [TPA], plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) from the CHARGE Hemostasis Consortium (N = 2583-120,246). Inverse-variance-weighted random effects were the main MR analysis followed by sensitivity analyses. Two-sided p < 0.05 was nominally significant, and p < 0.0011[ = 0.05/(5 exposures × 9 outcomes)] was Bonferroni significant for the main MR analysis. Results: Genetically increased TSH was associated with decreased VWF [β(SE) = -0.020(0.006), p = 0.001] and with decreased fibrinogen [β(SE) = -0.008(0.002), p = 0.001]. Genetically increased fT4 was associated with increased VWF [β(SE) = 0.028(0.011), p = 0.012]. Genetically predicted hyperthyroidism was associated with increased VWF [β(SE) = 0.012(0.004), p = 0.006] and increased FVIII [β(SE) = 0.013(0.005), p = 0.007]. Genetically predicted hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were associated with decreased TPA [β(SE) = -0.009(0.024), p = 0.024] and increased TPA [β(SE) = 0.022(0.008), p = 0.008], respectively. MR sensitivity analyses showed similar direction but lower precision. Other coagulation and fibrinolytic factors were inconclusive. Conclusions: In the largest genetic studies currently available, genetically increased TSH and fT4 may be associated with decreased and increased synthesis of VWF, respectively. Since Bonferroni correction may be too conservative given the correlation between the analyzed traits, we cannot reject nominal associations of thyroid traits with coagulation or fibrinolytic factors.

Project description:Objective:To characterize the types of hyperglycemia that occur up to 1 year following liver transplant and to clarify the nomenclature for posttransplant hyperglycemia. Design:We analyzed 1-year glycemic follow-up data in 164 patients who underwent liver transplant and who had been enrolled in a randomized controlled trial comparing moderate to intensive insulin therapy to determine if patients had preexisting known diabetes, transient hyperglycemia, persistent hyperglycemia, or new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT). Results:Of 119 patients with posttransplant hyperglycemia following hospital discharge, 49 had preexisting diabetes, 5 had insufficient data for analysis, 48 had transient hyperglycemia (16 resolved within 30 days and 32 resolved between 30 days and 1 year), 13 remained persistently hyperglycemic out to 1 year and most likely had preexisting diabetes that had not been diagnosed or insulin resistance/insulinopenia prior to transplant, and 4 had NODAT (i.e., patients with transient hyperglycemia after transplant that resolved but then later truly developed sustained hyperglycemia, meeting criteria for diabetes). Conclusions:Distinct categories of patients with hyperglycemia following organ transplant include known preexisting diabetes, persistent hyperglycemia (most likely unknown preexisting diabetes or insulin resistance/insulinopenia), transient hyperglycemia, and NODAT. Those with preexisting diabetes for many years prior to transplant may well have very different long-term outcomes compared with those with true NODAT. Therefore, it would be prudent to classify patients more carefully. Long-term outcome studies are needed to determine if patients with true NODAT have the same poor prognosis as patients with preexisting diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed) undergoing transplant.

Project description:Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a high morbidity and mortality worldwide, and it is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Non-diabetic stress hyperglycemia is common in severely ill patients, and it could affect prognosis. This study aimed to analyze the influence of different blood glucose levels on prognosis from the perspective of stress hyperglycemia by comparing them with normal blood glucose levels and those of patients with DM. Methods: A retrospective study of 1,401 patients in coronary care unit (CCU) from the critical care database called Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV was performed. Patients were assigned to the following groups 1-4 based on their history of DM, random blood glucose, and HbA1c levels: normal blood glucose group, moderate stress hyperglycemia group, severe stress hyperglycemia group and DM group. The main outcome of this study was 30- and 90-day mortality rates. The associations between groups and outcomes were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox proportional hazard regression model and competing risk regression model. Results: A total of 1,401 patients in CCU were enrolled in this study. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that group 1 had a higher survival probability than groups 3 and 4 in terms of 30- and 90-day mortalities. After controlling the potential confounders in Cox regression, groups 3 and 4 had a statistically significant higher risk of both mortalities than group 1, while no difference in mortality risk was found between groups 2 and 1. The hazard ratios [95% confidence interval (CI)] of 30- and 90-day mortality rates for group 3 were 2.77(1.39,5.54) and 2.59(1.31,5.12), respectively, while those for group 4 were 1.92(1.08,3.40) and 1.94(1.11,3.37), respectively. Conclusions: Severe stress hyperglycemia (≥200 mg/dL) in patients without DM in CCU may increase the risk of short-term death, which is greater than the prognostic effect in patients with diabetes. Patients with normal blood glucose levels and moderate stress hyperglycemia (140 mg/dL ≤ RBG <200 mg/dL) had no effect on short-term outcomes in patients with CCU.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious research suggests a link between antidepressant use and diabetes, but it is unclear whether the association is causal or attributable to detection/ascertainment bias. To examine this, we assessed the associations of antidepressant use with change in glucose levels and incidence of undiagnosed and diagnosed diabetes.MethodsDuring an 18-year period, we monitored antidepressant use, glucose levels, and diabetes status in 5978 civil servants (70.9% male, age range 39-64 years) free of diabetes at baseline (the Whitehall II study). Use of medication and plasma glucose were assessed at four study screenings: 1991/1993, 1997/1999, 2003/2004, and 2008/2009. Incident diabetes cases were classified as either diagnosed (n = 294) if detected using self-report of physician diagnosis and/or the use of diabetes medication or undiagnosed (n = 346) if detected based on fasting and/or 2-hour postload glucose levels using an oral glucose tolerance test at the study screenings.ResultsIncidence of diagnosed diabetes was higher among antidepressant users than nonusers (odds ratio 3.10, 95% confidence interval: 1.66-5.78). However, antidepressant use was not associated with undiagnosed diabetes at any follow-up examination nor with higher fasting or 2-hour postload plasma glucose levels or increasing glucose levels over time. Odds ratio for undiagnosed diabetes for antidepressant users versus nonusers was .88 (95% confidence interval: .45-1.72, p = .70). The mean difference in glucose changes between participants reporting antidepressant use at three screenings compared with those not on antidepressant treatment was .0 mmol/L.ConclusionsThe link between antidepressant use and diabetes risk may not be causal in nature.

Project description:ObjectiveDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) for reasons that are unclear.Research design and methodsWe leveraged the International Study of Inflammation in COVID-19 (ISIC), a multicenter observational study of 2,044 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, to characterize the impact of DM on in-hospital outcomes and assess the contribution of inflammation and hyperglycemia to the risk attributed to DM. We measured biomarkers of inflammation collected at hospital admission and collected glucose levels and insulin data throughout hospitalization. The primary outcome was the composite of in-hospital death, need for mechanical ventilation, and need for renal replacement therapy.ResultsAmong participants (mean age 60 years, 58.2% males), those with DM (n = 686, 33.5%) had a significantly higher cumulative incidence of the primary outcome (37.8% vs. 28.6%) and higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers than those without DM. Among biomarkers, DM was only associated with higher soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels in multivariable analysis. Adjusting for suPAR levels abrogated the association between DM and the primary outcome (adjusted odds ratio 1.23 [95% CI 0.78, 1.37]). In mediation analysis, we estimated the proportion of the effect of DM on the primary outcome mediated by suPAR at 84.2%. Hyperglycemia and higher insulin doses were independent predictors of the primary outcome, with effect sizes unaffected by adjusting for suPAR levels.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the association between DM and outcomes in COVID-19 is largely mediated by hyperinflammation as assessed by suPAR levels, while the impact of hyperglycemia is independent of inflammation.

Project description:We aim to evaluate the risk of stroke recurrence among non-diabetes mellitus (non-DM), previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus (PDDM), newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus-related hyperglycemia (NDDM-RH) and stress hyperglycemia after minor stroke or TIA. Totally, 3026 patients with baseline fasting glucose and glycated albumin from the CHANCE trial (Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients with Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events) were included. Patients were classified as non-DM, PDDM, NDDM-RH and stress hyperglycemia according to the status of glucose metabolism. The primary outcome was stroke recurrence during 90-day follow up. Cox regression was performed to estimate the relationship between the status of glucose metabolism and risk of 90-day stroke recurrence. Compared with PDDM, NDDM-RH had a similar risk of 90-day stroke recurrence (hazard ratios [HR]1.39, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.94-2.04), while stress hyperglycemia had approximately a 5.3-fold increased risk of 90-day stroke recurrence after adjusted for confounding covariates (HR 5.32, 95% CI 3.43-8.26). Parallel results were found for 90-day recurrent ischemic stroke and composite events. Compared with PDDM in minor stroke or TIA, a parallel risk of 90-day stroke recurrence were observed for NDDM-RH, while stress hyperglycemia might relate to higher risk of 90-day stroke recurrence.

Project description:Blood coagulation is essential for physiological hemostasis but simultaneously contributes to thrombotic disease. However, molecular and cellular events controlling initiation and propagation of coagulation are still incompletely understood. In this study, we demonstrate an unexpected role of eosinophils during plasmatic coagulation, hemostasis, and thrombosis. Using a large-scale epidemiological approach, we identified eosinophil cationic protein as an independent and predictive risk factor for thrombotic events in humans. Concurrent experiments showed that eosinophils contributed to intravascular thrombosis by exhibiting a strong endogenous thrombin-generation capacity that relied on the enzymatic generation and active provision of a procoagulant phospholipid surface enriched in 12/15-lipoxygenase-derived hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid-phosphatidylethanolamines. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized role of eosinophils and enzymatic lipid oxidation as regulatory elements that facilitate both hemostasis and thrombosis in response to vascular injury, thus identifying promising new targets for the treatment of thrombotic disease.

Project description:Hemostasis is the process of sealing a vascular injury with a thrombus to arrest bleeding. The type of thrombus that forms depends on the nature of the injury and hemodynamics. There are many models of intravascular thrombus formation whereby blood is exposed to prothrombotic molecules on a solid substrate. However, there are few models of extravascular thrombus formation whereby blood escapes into the extravascular space through a hole in the vessel wall. Here, we describe a microfluidic model of hemostasis that includes vascular, vessel wall, and extravascular compartments. Type I collagen and tissue factor, which support platelet adhesion and initiate coagulation, respectively, were adsorbed to the wall of the injury channel and act synergistically to yield a stable thrombus that stops blood loss into the extravascular compartment in ~7.5 min. Inhibiting factor VIII to mimic hemophilia A results in an unstable thrombus that was unable to close the injury. Treatment with a P2Y12 antagonist to reduce platelet activation prolonged the closure time two-fold compared to controls. Taken together, these data demonstrate a hemostatic model that is sensitive to both coagulation and platelet function and can be used to study coagulopathies and platelet dysfunction that result in excessive blood loss.

Project description:The prothrombotic state in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been reported as a plausible cause of vascular complications. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) assay enables the global assessment of coagulation status. This study aimed to assess hypercoagulability in children with T1DM using ROTEM. A total of 43 T1DM children (20 females and 23 males) aged 2-18 years and age- and sex-matched 30 healthy control subjects were enrolled in the study group. ROTEM assays [intrinsic TEM (INTEM) and extrinsic TEM (EXTEM)] were used to measure and analyze coagulation time (CT), clot formation time, maximum clot firmness (MCF). Glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c), diabetic complications, platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), fibrinogen, and dimerized plasmin fragment D (D-dimer) were determined in the study group. The mean duration of T1DM diagnosis was 3.15 ± 2.49 years, and the mean HbA1c level was 8.94 ± 1.88% (74.29 ± 20.59 mmol/mol). None of the patients had macrovascular complications. Nephropathy was present in five patients. In the T1DM group, EXTEM-CT [80.00 (66.75-108.50)] was significantly lower, and EXTEM-MCF [65.00 (64.00-70.00)] and INTEM-MCF [65.00 (62.00-68.00)] were significantly higher than in the controls (p < 0.001, p = 0.026, and p = 0.004, respectively). However, the duration of T1DM and the degree of metabolic control had no influence on these parameters. Platelet count, PT, aPTT, fibrinogen and D-dimer levels were comparable between the diabetic patients and the control group. There were statistically significant correlations between fibrinogen level and INTEM-MCF and EXTEM-MCF (p < 0.001, p = 0.002 and r = 0.545, r = 0.454, respectively) This study shows that decreased levels of CT and increased levels of MCF suggest hypercoagulability in patients with T1DM. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings on a larger number of diabetic patients.
