    (Medip Academy, 2019-05) Sharma, Sanjeev K.; Singh, Atul K.; Gupta, Dharmendra K.; Saxena, Shashi; Singh, Meenakshi; Gupta, Shyam B.
    Background: Perceived health (PH) is a subjective assessment of the health and it is a strong, independent and reliable predictor of morbidity, mortality. It includes so many aspects that are difficult to capture clinically such as incipient disease, physiological, psychological reserves. We assessed the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), co-morbidity and other associated factors on the general health (GH) dimension of the PH of the patients attending the outpatient department (OPD), Inpatient department (IPD), rural health training centre (RHTC) and urban health training centre (UHTC) of Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences (SRMS, IMS), Bareilly.Methods: PH status of the patients was assessed by the GH dimension of the physical component summary of PH using the 36-Items short form health survey (SF-36).Results: The impact of morbidity deteriorate the GH score but hypertensive patients scored poor results as compared to those with DM and comorbid patients (p>0.05). Age was inversely related with GH scores but male gender, higher education (p<0.05) and good occupation were all associated with higher GH score. There was not much influence of geographical area on the GH scores but urban score slightly better and the association was insignificant (p>0.05).Conclusions: Male young patients from urban area, educated and good job performed better score for GH and association was significant for education and occupation. The presence of morbidity and co-morbid condition deteriorate the GH of the patients. The impact of various socio-demographic factors on the PH status was also evident in the study.

    Premature coronary artery disease, risk factors, clinical presentation, angiography and interventions: Hospital based registry
    (Cardiological Society of India, 2022-10) Sharma, Sanjeev K.; Makkar, Jitender S.; Bana, Ajeet; Sharma, Krishnakumar; Kasliwal, Atul; Sidana, Sanjeev K.; Degawat, Prem Ratan; Bhagat, Kush K.; Chaurasia, Amit K.; Natani, Vishnu; Sharma, Samin K.; Gupta, Rajeev
    Background & aims: Premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is endemic in India. We performed a study to identify risk factors, clinical presentation, angiographic findings and interventions in premature CAD. Methods: Successive patients who underwent percutaneous intervention (PCI) were enrolled from January 2018 to June 2021. Premature CAD was defined as women 45-59 y and men 40-54 y and very premature as women <45 y and men <40 y. Descriptive statistics are presented. Univariate odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated to identify differences in various groups. Results: 4672 patients (women 936, men 3736) were enrolled. Premature CAD was in 1238 (26.5%; women 31.9%; men 25.1%) and very premature in 212 (4.5%; women 6.5%, men 4.0%). In premature and very premature vs non-premature CAD, OR (95%CI) for high cholesterol _x0001_200 mg/dl [women 1.52(1.03 e2.25) and 1.59(0.79e3.20); men 1.73(1.38e2.17) and 1.92(1.22e3.03)], non-HDL cholesterol _x0001_130 mg/dl [women 1.84(1.35e2.52) and 1.32(0.72e2.42); men 1.69(1.43e1.90) and 1.67(1.17e2.34)], LDL cholesterol [men 1.10(0.95e1.25) and 1.04(0.77e1.41)], and tobacco [women 1.40(0.84e2.35) and 2.14(0.95e4.82); men 1.63(1.34e1.98) and 1.27(0.81e1.97)] were higher while hypertension, diabetes and chronic kidney disease were more in non-premature(p < 0.05). Presentation as STEMI was marginally more in women with premature [1.13(0.85e1.51)] and very premature [1.29(0.75e2.22)] CAD and was significantly higher in men [1.35(1.16e1.56) and 1.79(1.29e2.49)]. Location and extent of CAD were not different. Conclusions: In India, a third of CAD patients presenting for coronary intervention have premature disease. Important risk factors are high total and non-HDL cholesterol and tobacco (men) with greater presentation as STEMI. Extent and type of CAD are similar to non-premature CAD indicating severe disease.
