Abstract

Background: Chronic inflammation of Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) may be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the association remains controversial.


Objectives: To determine whether patients with AS are at risk for CVD and the impact of atherosclerosis risk disease in AS.


Methods: We conducted a descriptive study based on a nationwide Thailand healthcare database, using ICD-10 of AS (M45). CVD was defined as either myocardial infarction (MI) (I20-I25), stroke (G45, I63, I69), peripheral arterial disease (I74), heart failure (HF) (I50), cardiomyopathy (I42), aortic valve disease (I35) or arrhythmia (I44). Atherosclerosis risk diseases were defined as either diabetes mellitus (DM) (E10, E11, E13), Hypertension (HT) (I10, I15), or dyslipidemia (DLD) (E78). A total of 766 hospitalized AS patients were included in the analysis. The odds ratio (OR) was calculated to define the risk of CVD and atherosclerosis risk disease.
