| Popis: | PurposeMen with alcohol-related chronic pancreatitis (ARCP) resulting in type 3c diabetes mellitus (DM) are at a uniquely elevated risk of adverse ischemic events given the role of inflammation in both the underlying disease processes and atherosclerosis.We hypothesized that their panoramic images would show a prevalence of calcified carotid artery atheromas (calcified carotid artery plaques [CCAPs]) significantly more often than a general population of similarly aged men.Patients and methodsWe implemented a retrospective observational study. The sample was composed of male patients older than 30years having panoramic images.The predictor variable was a diagnosis of ARCP-DM, and the outcome variable was the prevalence rate of CCAPs. The prevalence of CCAPs among the patients with ARCP-DM was then compared with that of a historical general population composed of similarly aged men. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed, and the P value was set at .05.ResultsOf the 32 men (mean age, 61.7±11.2years) with ARCP-DM, 8 (25%) (mean age, 63.3±4.80years) had atheromas (CCAPs). There was a statistically significant (P |
