腹主动脉钙化体积与腹主动脉直径的相关性及其关联因素分析

Correlation between abdominal aortic calcification volume and abdominal aortic diameter and their influencing factors

  • 摘要: 背景 目前针对腹主动脉钙化体积与腹主动脉直径之间的相关性研究还不充分,深入探究这一关联对预测腹主动脉硬化相关疾病的风险具有重要意义。目的 分析腹主动脉钙化体积与腹主动脉直径之间的相关性,并探讨两者的关联因素。方法 回顾性分析2023 年1 月至2024 年1 月在解放军总医院第一医学中心接受治疗的肾囊肿患者病历资料,测量腹部CT图像中腹主动脉钙化体积和肾下主动脉的最大短轴向直径。采用多元线性回归分析各因素与动脉钙化和直径的关系。结果 本研究共纳入200 名患者,其中男性111 例(55.5%),女性89 例(44.5%),平均年龄(62.0±8.1)岁。患者腹主动脉平均直径(20.8±2.6) mm,腹主动脉总钙化体积中位数526(IQR:179 ~ 1 515) mm3。随着腹主动脉钙化程度加重,腹主动脉直径显著增大(Pfor trend=0.003)。多因素回归分析显示,年龄、性别、吸烟史、体表面积、C-反应蛋白及血清磷与腹主动脉钙化体积独立关联(P均<0.05)。在调整临床混杂因素之后,Log10 总钙化体积与腹主动脉直径仍呈显著独立正相关(β=1.07,95% CI:0.51 ~ 1.63,P<0.001)。亚组分析证实,腹主动脉钙化与直径在多数亚组间均呈正向关联趋势,且交互作用检验均无统计学差异(P交互>0.05),提示上述临床因素未显著修饰该相关性。结论 腹主动脉钙化与腹主动脉直径显著相关。腹主动脉钙化体积可作为反映腹主动脉直径的重要影像学指标,对血管重构及相关风险评估具有潜在临床价值。

     

    Abstract: Background At present, research on the correlation between abdominal aortic calcification volume and abdominal aortic diameter remains limited. A deeper investigation into this relationship is of great importance for predicting the risk of atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Objective To analyze the correlation between abdominal aortic calcification volume and abdominal aortic diameter, and explore the factors associated with their relationship. Methods Medical records of patients with renal cysts treated at the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, the abdominal CT-derived volume of abdominal aortic calcification and the maximum minor-axis diameter of the infrarenal aorta were measured. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the associations between various factors with arterial calcification and aortic diameter. Results A total of 200 patients were enrolled in this study, including 111 males (55.5%) and 89 females (44.5%). The mean age of the overall cohort was (62.0±8.1) years. The mean abdominal aortic diameter was (20.8±2.6) mm, and the median total abdominal aortic calcification volume was 526 (IQR: 179 - 1 515) mm3. Baseline analysis revealed that as the degree of abdominal aortic calcification increased, the abdominal aortic diameter significantly enlarged (Pfor trend=0.003). Multivariable regression analysis identified age, sex, smoking history, body surface area (BSA), C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum phosphorus as independent factors associated with abdominal aortic calcification volume (all P<0.05). After adjusting for clinical confounders, the Log10 transformed total calcification volume remained significantly and independently positively correlated with abdominal aortic diameter (β= 1.07, 95% CI: 0.51 - 1.63, P<0.001). Subgroup analyses confirmed a consistent positive association between abdominal aortic calcification and diameter across most subgroups, with no statistically significant interaction effects (all interaction P>0.05), suggesting good consistency of this association across different population characteristics. Conclusion  Abdominal aortic calcification is significantly associated with abdominal aortic diameter. AAC volume may serve as an important imaging marker reflecting abdominal aortic diameter and has potential clinical value for vascular remodeling assessment and related risk stratification.
