Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı Karotid endarterektomi geçiren hastalarda kontrolsüz diyabetes mellitusun DM uzun süreli statin kullanan ve kullanmayan hastalarda Düşük Yoğunluklu Lipoprotein LDL seviyelerine etkisini araştırmaktı.Gereç ve yöntem: Ateroskleroz nedeniyle karotid endarterektomi geçiren 40 hastanın ameliyat öncesi LDL seviyeleri retrospektif olarak analiz edildi. Tüm hastalar en az 1 yıldır statin kullanıyordu. HbA1C seviyelerinin % 6,4’den fazla olması kontrolsüz DM kriteri kabul edildi D+ . Diğer hastalar diyabet olmayan gruplara alındı D- . Grup 1: D+ statin kullanan n=9 , grup 2: D- statin kullanan n=10 , grup 3: D+ statin kullanmayan n=8 , grup 4: D- statin kullanmayan n=13 hastalardan oluştu. İstatistiksel değerlendirme için Kruskal-Wallis ve Mann-Whitney testleri kullanıldı. p
Introduction: This study aims to assess the effects of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus DM on LDL levels of atherosclerotic patients on long term statins and patients not on statins.Material and Methods: LDL levels of 40 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy due to atherosclerosis were retrospectively analyzed. All statin users were on statins for >1yr. Patients with HbA1C levels of >6.4% were considered as uncontrolled DM D+ . All other patients were non diabetics D- . Group1: D+, statin user n=9 , group 2: D- statin user n=10 , group 3: D+ non statin user n=8 , and group 4: D- non statin user n=13 . LDL levels are given as mg/dl, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used for statistics. p0.05 . Conclusions: Results of this study suggest that atherosclerotic patients with uncontrolled diabetes who are either on or off statin therapy have higher LDL results compared to non-diabetic atherosclerotic patients. Further multicenter studies with higher number of patients with proven atherosclerosis are needed
