Objective:To investigate the prevalence of the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD)risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in Armed Police Hospital of Chongqing

to provide a well understanding of the high risk(QRISK2 ≥10%)of ASCVD in T2 DM patients and its associated risk factors and to help health providers make right prevention strategies and measures. Methods:The cross-sectional research was conducted to investigate the prevalence of ASCVD risk in all the hospitalized T2 DM patients aged between25-84 years from July 2015 to January 2016 in Armed Police Hospital of Chongqing. According to requirements of QRISK2 test

a unified questionnaire was used to collect investigators demographic characteristics and major disease characteristics

including age

sex

smoking status

angina or heart attack in a 1st degree relative(< 60 years)

height

weight

blood pressure and blood lipid. Results:The proportion of ASCVD risk(QRISK2≥10%)was 82.66%. The average QRISK2 scores in male patients was 1.14 times higher than that in female patients[(23.28±8.77)% vs.(20.31±10.01)%

t=-2.364

P=0.019]. There was a significantly increasing trend of QRISK2 when compared with different ages. Male patients with high ASCVD risk were statistically younger than female patients[(62.43±8.74)years vs.(67.20±7.45)years

t=4.367

P=0.000]. Logistic regression analysis showed that age

smoking

SBP

TG and the chronic diabetes complications were the related factors to high ASCVD risk

and smoking is the most important factor(OR =297.03

95% CI =31.00-2845.66

P =0.000). Conclusion:ASCVD risk assessment of T2 DM patients through QRISK2 score is convenient and effective. The risk of ASCVD in T2 DM patients in our hospital is high

and it is necessary to take effectively management intervention to reduce adverse outcome events. T2 DM patients with high ASCVD risk may associate some factors

including age

course of disease

smoking status

etc.
