Peripheral artery disease risk factors in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: Background:Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major health problem in Saudi Arabia with considerable implications for morbidity and mortality. Many risk factors have been established for developing PAD, but the prevalence of these risk factors is variable from one country to another. Aim:To identify the risk factors for PAD and study their prevalence in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods:A retrospective chart review study was conducted in a tertiary center in Jeddah from July 2012 to September 2015. All patients with PAD were recruited into this study, and their data were analyzed using IBM SPSS. Correlation between PAD and various risk factors was studied using Spearman's coefficient. Results:A total of 261 patients were recruited, of which 55% were males. Hypertension, diabetes type 2, and obesity were found among 34.2%, 33.3%, and 29.2% of the patients, respectively. About 45% had a history of previous vascular surgery, and amputation was performed in 6.9% particularly in legs. Hypertension and metabolic syndrome were the only risk factors that showed a significant correlation with PAD (P=0.039 and 0.040, respectively). Conclusion:The most prevalent risk factors for PAD in Jeddah were hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and smoking. Hypertension and metabolic syndrome were the only risk factors significantly associated with PAD. Males were often more affected by PAD than females. The most commonly affected site was the lower limbs.

Project description:BackgroundHypertension is a major global health concern affecting approximately 1.13 billion people worldwide, with most of them residing in developing countries. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of different stages of hypertension and its associated modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors among patients in military-setting hospitals in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted at two hospitals in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The data were collected from hospital electronic records from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019. The blood pressure levels of patients from the last three separate medical visits were recorded. Descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression were used for the data analysis.ResultsThe study included 884 hypertensive patients. The incidences of stage of elevated BP, stage 1, stage 2, and hypertension crisis were 60.0, 29.5, 7.0, and 3.5 cases per 1000 persons. Multivariate analysis indicated that progression from the stage of elevated blood pressure to hypertension crisis was significantly associated with advanced age (odds ratio [OR] = 3.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.99-8.42), male sex (OR = 2.84, 95% CI: 0.57-5.92), and a positive family history of hypertension (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.23-3.09). Other key determinants of the development of stage of elevated blood pressure to hypertension crisis were current smoking status (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.23-4.76), and physical inactivity (OR = 6.48, 95% CI: 2.46-9.14).ConclusionThe incidence stage of elevated blood pressure was high among the patients investigated at armed forces hospitals in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The logistic regression model proposed in the present study can be used to predict the development of different stages of hypertension. Age, sex, marital status, family history, smoking status, and physical activity play an important role in the development of hypertension. Better strategies to improve awareness, screening, treatment, and management of hypertension are required in Saudi Arabia.
