Abstract

Aim In statin-treated persons with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) the further ASCVD risk that diabetes mellitus (DM) adds is not well-quantified. We examined this residual risk for initial and total recurrent ASCVD events. Methods We studied 3271 patients with ASCVD on statin therapy in the AIM-HIGH clinical trial cohort. Cox regression and the Prentice, Williams, and Peterson model examined the excess risk of initial and total recurrent ASCVD events associated with DM over a 3- year mean follow-up. Predictors of first and total ASCVD events in those with and without DM were also examined. Results Of our cohort with ASCVD on statin therapy 40% also had DM. Those with vs. without DM were older, were less likely to be male or white. They had higher systolic blood pressure, lower HDL-C, LDL-C, lipoprotein (a), but higher triglycerides and BMI (all p < 0.01). Adjusted HRs were 1.21 (95% CI; 1.01-1.46, p = 0.038) and 1.23 (95% CI: 1.05-1.44, p = 0.012) for first and total recurrent ASCVD events, respectively. Homocysteine and lipoprotein(a) most strongly predicted events in those with and without DM, respectively. Conclusion In statin-treated patients with ASCVD, DM was associated with significantly greater residual risk over ASCVD alone for both first and total recurrent ASCVD events.

    From Triglyceride Lowering with Pemafibrate to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk (2022) · cites this paper as [25]

    The Results and Discussion (page unavailable) report residual ASCVD risk in statin-treated patients with diabetes and identify lipoprotein(a) as a predictor of recurrent events. This supports a role for lipid-related risk, but the paper studies diabetes rather than insulin resistance broadly and does not establish lipid mediation of that residual risk. The citing sentence’s reference to “our data” is the citing authors’ own conclusion, not a claim about this source. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
