dc.description.abstractObjective The results of previous studies on sex differences in mortality and comorbidities among patients with acromegaly are diverse. We assessed the sex differences in mortality and the risk of complications in patients with acromegaly. Methods We included 1884 patients with acromegaly with 1:50 age- and sex-matched 94200 controls using the Korean nationwide claims database from 2009 to 2019. Results During the median 5.51 years of follow-up, the acromegaly group had higher all-cause mortality than the control group (hazard ratio [HR] 1.74, 95% CI 1.38-2.19), with higher risk in women than men (HR 2.17 vs. 1.36). The most common cause of death was malignancy. Women with acromegaly aged ≥50 years exhibited significantly higher mortality than men with acromegaly aged ≥50 years (HR 1.74 vs. 0.96). In a treatment subgroup other than surgery alone, women had a higher risk of mortality than men (HR 2.82 vs. 1.58). Sex differences in mortality among patients with acromegaly remained equal after adjustment for the Charlson Comorbidity Index, socioeconomic status, body mass index, alcohol consumption, smoking, fasting plasma glucose, creatinine, and total cholesterol. Patients with acromegaly had elevated risks of developing major adverse cardiovascular events, atrial fibrillation, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), diabetes mellitus (DM), end-stage renal disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression, and malignancy than age- and sex-matched controls, with a higher risk of OSA and DM in women than men. Conclusions The risk of mortality and complication in patients with acromegaly compared to age- and sex-matched controls were higher in women than in men. 본 연구는 말단비대증 환자의 사망률 및 합병증 발생의 위험도가 성별간 유의한 차이가 있는지 보고자 하였다. 2009년부터 2019년까지 우리나라 국민건강보험 청구자료를 이용하였고 총 1884명의 말단비대증 환자와 1:50 연령 및 성별 매칭된 94200 명의 일반 인구를 대조군으로 선정하여 분석하였다. 이 인구 기반 코호트 연구에 따르면 말단비대증 환자는 대조군에 비하여 사망률이 더 높았으며, 특히 여성에서 이 차이는 두드러져 말단비대증 환자의 사망률이 성별간 차이가 있음을 보여주었다. 또한, 말단비대증 환자는 대조군에 비하여 주요 심혈관 사건, 심방세동, 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증, 당뇨병, 말기 신질환, 파킨슨병, 우울증, 악성 종양이 발생할 위험이 더 높았으며, 여성 환자에서 남성 환자보다 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증, 당뇨병의 위험이 더 높았다. 본 연구를 통하여 말단비대증 환자의 사망률 및 합병증 발생의 위험도가 성별간 유의한 차이가 있음을 확인하였고 특히 여성 말단비대증 환자에서 말단비대증 관련 합병증에 대한 더욱 세심한 주의가 필요함을 시사하였다.-
