Hypertension and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Inflammatory and Autoimmune Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Current Hypertension Reports(2024)
Abstract
This review aimed to investigate the prevalence of hypertension and cardiovascular (CV) complications in various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (IAD). Despite recent improvements in the management of IAD, patients with IAD still have an increased CV mortality and CV complications, mostly related to CV risk factors such as hypertension and inflammation. We systematically searched MEDLINE and EMBASE libraries for controlled studies involving hypertension and CV complications in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), Sjogren’s syndrome (SS), or antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) between January 2000 and March 2022. We extracted data on the prevalence of hypertension and CV complications. Then, random-effects meta-analyses and exploratory multivariate meta-regression were performed to explore factors related to the prevalence of hypertension. Of 2726 studies screened, 122 were selected for the meta-analysis. The prevalence of hypertension was higher among patients with IAD than controls, with an overall unadjusted odds ratio (OR) [95
