Abstract

Various studies suggest that the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is associated with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in different clinical scenarios. This review aimed to synthesize evidence of the association between AIP values and CAD. A literature search was carried out on four databases, namely, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Ovid-Medline. A handsearch was performed on preprint repositories (MedRxiv and Research Square). The effect measurements were expressed as odds ratios (OR) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). For the quantitative synthesis, we employed a random-effects model. We analyzed 14 articles (with 40,902 participants) from seven different countries. The quantitative analysis revealed that an increase in one unit of AIP was associated with higher odds of developing CAD (OR 2.11; 95% CI 1.65–2.69; P < 0.001; I 2 = 98%). We conducted subgroup analyses of Chinese (OR 1.89; 95% CI 1.40–2.56; P < 0.001) and non-Chinese studies (OR 2.51; 95% CI 1.42–4.42; P < 0.001). The sensitivity analysis by risk of bias continued to demonstrate an association, and the heterogeneity remained unchanged (OR 1.75; 95% CI 1.33–2.31; P < 0.001; I 2 = 98%). Higher AIP values were associated with higher odds of developing CAD.

1 Introduction

Coronary artery disease (CAD), also referred to as coronary heart disease (CHD) or ischemic heart disease, is a disease with a high prevalence and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide [1,2,3]. In the last few decades, as preventive and treatment measures have strengthened and improved, the incidence and mortality of this pathology have decreased in developed countries [4,5,6,7]. However, the global prevalence is expected to increase to 1,845 cases per 100,000 population by 2030 [1].

Cardiac risk stratification is necessary to improve preventive and therapeutic interventions [8]. Biomarkers are an essential component in this task, either as part of prediction models or on their own. In recent years, multiple CAD risk biomarkers have been identified and investigated, including C-reactive protein [9], lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 [10], and fibrinogen [11], among others. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a novel biomarker consisting of the logarithmically transformed ratio of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol in molar concentrations. Unlike biomarkers such as serum amyloid alpha [12] or matrix metalloproteinases [13], AIP is an easily accessible biomarker because only a standard lipid profile is required for its calculation [14].

Hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL levels are independent markers of CHD [15,16]. Therefore, the AIP combines these two lipid parameters into a single biomarker to boost its predictive capabilities.

Thus, several studies have suggested that AIP acts as a marker associated with cardiovascular diseases in patients with various pathologies [17,18,19,20,21,22]. This association is related to a surrogate involvement of endothelial vascular damage, such as carotid intima-media thickening, compromised atrial coronary anatomical, or clinical conditions, e.g., stroke and acute coronary syndromes, as a manifestation of CAD. However, to the best of our knowledge, the evidence of the association between AIP and CAD has not been systematized. Thus, this review aimed to synthesize such evidence.

2 Methods

2.1 Study design, registration, and report guideline

We conducted this systematic review in accordance with the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement [23]. The summarized version of the protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews with code CRD42021289308 (see PRISMA checklist in Table S1).

2.2 Data sources and searches

We conducted a literature search on articles that evaluated the association between AIP and CAD on October 15, 2021. Four databases were searched: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Ovid-Medline. A handsearch was also performed on preprint repositories (MedRxiv and Research Square) (see Supplementary Appendix 1).

2.3 Study selection and data extraction

The articles collected from the aforementioned databases were exported to the Rayyan data management software [24], and duplicate studies were eliminated. Four reviewers independently screened each study (A.C.-A., E.A.A.-B., E.A.H.-B., and J.R.U.-B.) by analyzing the titles and abstracts according to the selection criteria. We included (1) case–control and cohort studies that (2) evaluated the association between AIP and CAD in (3) adults (≥18 years old). We excluded articles that were (1) case reports, (2) studies conducted on animals, (3) scoping reviews, (4) narrative reviews, and (5) systematic reviews.

Once this phase was completed, each of the articles was read in full-text, and we determined whether they met the previously established selection criteria. A study was excluded if it failed to comply with the selection criteria. If an article did not contain the required information, an attempt was made to contact the corresponding author of the said article. A secondary bibliographic search was conducted on the articles that reached the full-text review phase.

In case of disagreements on the inclusion or exclusion of an article, a third reviewer was consulted. Finally, information of the selected articles was extracted and collated in a standardized Excel 2016 document. The extracted data included author name, country, year of publication, study sample, study design, population characteristics (age, gender, etc.), exposure (AIP mean or median of the whole sample and according to sample stratification), and crude/adjusted association measures (odds ratio [OR], relative risk [RR], and hazard ratio). Outcome definitions are presented in Table S2.

2.4 Assessment of study quality and publication bias

Four authors (A.C.-A., V.A.V.-C., M.D.M.-R., and F.E.S.-V.) evaluated the included studies independently using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale [24]. The studies were stratified into three levels of methodological quality according to the number of stars: low risk of bias (≥6 stars), moderate risk of bias (4–5 stars), and high risk of bias (<4 stars). In addition, funnel plots and Begg’s test were conducted to assess publication bias; P-values > 0.1 were considered indicative of no publication bias.

2.5 Data synthesis and analysis

The quantitative analysis was conducted using the RevMan 5.4 statistical program (Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark). The OR and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were the only effect measures used; thus, we transformed standardized mean differences to ln[OR] using the Chinn method. RR was converted into OR [25,26]. Variables expressed as median and interquartile range were converted to means and standard deviation using Hozo’s method [27]. We assessed statistical heterogeneity by calculating the I 2-statistic, where values >60% were considered to indicate severe heterogeneity. A Cochran’s Q test was also conducted, where a P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. A random-effects model was used for the meta-analysis as we anticipated heterogeneity among studies. In the subgroup analysis, we conducted a comparison between associations according to country (Chinese vs non-Chinese studies), study design, CAD definition, and gender (women vs mixed). In the sensitivity analysis, we excluded studies with a high risk of bias. We also analyzed all studies after transforming OR to RR. In addition, we performed a meta-regression, reported as bubble plots, in order to search for heterogeneity sources, due to differences in the clinical and methodological characteristics of the individual studies. Assessed variables were study design, study location, CAD definition, and gender.

3 Results

3.1 Study selection

The search strategy yielded 975 records. After removing 610 duplicates, 365 articles finally remained. After evaluating the titles and abstracts, we excluded 322 more studies. Then, a full-text review was performed on the remaining 43 articles, which led to the exclusion of 29 more articles. In the end, 14 articles were included in the qualitative analysis and meta-analysis [20,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40]. This process is documented in a PRISMA flow diagram (Figure 1).

3.2 Study characteristics

The characteristics of each study are presented in detail in Table 1. Most of the articles (8 out of 14) were case–control studies, and six were cohort studies. The distribution of the studies by country was as follows: China (7), India (1), Turkey (2), Egypt (1), South Korea (1), Slovakia (1), and the USA (1). In total, there were 40,902 participants with samples ranging from 80 to 11,164 participants. The gender distribution was as follows: 17,026 were male, and 23,876 were female. The study by Celik et al. reported an optimal cutoff value of AIP for CAD of 0.541 and an area under the curve of 0.617 [30].

3.3 Assessment of study quality and publication bias

Table S3 presents the results of the methodological quality assessment. In summary, 10 and 4 studies were classified as having a low and moderate risk of bias, respectively.

3.4 AIP and risk of CAD

The quantitative analysis revealed that patients with higher AIP values were associated with higher odds of developing CAD (OR 2.11; 95% CI 1.65–2.69; P < 0.001) (Figure 2a) with severe heterogeneity (I 2 = 98%). Statistically significant associations with high heterogeneity were observed in all subgroup analyses by study location (Figure 2b), study design (Figure 2c), definition of CAD (Figure 2d), and gender (Figure 2e). Sensitivity analyses were conducted. In one analysis, only studies with a low risk of bias (Figure 2f) were included (OR 1.75; CI 95% 1.33–2.31; P < 0.001; I 2 = 98%), whereas in the other, all OR values were transformed to RR (RR 1.29; CI 95% 1.17–1.42; P < 0.001; I 2 = 99%); however, the association with high heterogeneity remained in both cases (Figure 2g).

3.5 Meta-regression

No significantly associated coefficient was observed in study location (P = 0.974) (Figure S1), study design (P = 0.959) (Figure S2), CAD definition (P = 0.614) (Figure S3), or gender (P = 0.958) (Figure S4).

3.6 Publication bias

There was no indication of small-study effects (Begg’s test, P = 0.956), and the funnel plots did not show asymmetry (Figure S5).

4 Discussion

From our systematic review and meta-analysis, we obtained sufficient evidence to consider AIP as a marker of CAD risk in the general population.

Multiple studies suggested the value of AIP as a predictor of fatty liver [41], hidradenitis suppurativa [42], osteomyelitis in patients with diabetic foot [43], obesity [44], diabetes [45], and an estimate-reduced glomerular filtration rate [46]. These associations are related to oxitdative stress [47], insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia [45], and mechanisms associated with atherosclerosis [43,44], which are common risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

AIP is positively correlated with the fractional esterification rate of HDL, especially with small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL), whose expression in AIP reflects the complex interactions of lipoprotein metabolism and is useful in predicting plasma atherogenicity [48]. sdLDL has atherogenic properties, such as reduced clearance from the bloodstream, enhanced oxidation compared with other lipoproteins, enhanced binding to endothelial proteoglycans, enhanced penetration across the endothelial barrier, and increased uptake by macrophage receptors [49]. These properties increase the formation of foam cells and are the initial stages of atherogenesis [50]. These factors could explain the results of different studies indicating an association between AIP and CAD [51,52,53], which varies depending on the value of this marker. In this way, Dobiásová suggested that AIP values between −0.3 and 0.1 were associated with low cardiovascular risk and AIP values from 0.1 to more than 0.24 were associated with high cardiovascular risk [14].

For the aforementioned reasons, our finding of an association between high AIP values and increased CAD risk is not surprising. In addition to the aforementioned factors, factors associated with specific CAD conditions could also explain our results. In this context, some studies have found an association between AIP and arterial stiffness in normotensive patients [54], which is a risk factor for CAD [55]. Choudhary et al., in a study conducted on subjects without antihypertensive or lipid-lowering therapy, found that AIP was related to pulse wave velocity but not to aortic or radial blood pressure, cardiac output, or systemic vascular resistance [54] Similarly, other studies associated AIP with the progression of coronary calcification, a known surrogate marker of CAD [56]. Two studies from Korea found a significant correlation between AIP and coronary calcification progression in subjects without cardiovascular disease [57], although AIP was not an independent predictor [57].

Contrarily, in a multinational study in seven countries from 2003 to 2015, this association was independent of traditional risk factors [58]. Similarly, AIP was also a predictor of subclinical CAD. A study of patients with or without chronic kidney disease found that AIP was associated with advanced subclinical CAD after adjustment for age older than 60 years, male sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, and proteinuria [59].

Finally, some studies demonstrated an association between AIP and the evolution of patients with acute coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction. For example, a Turkish study found that AIP was independently associated with the absence of reflow in patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction following the primary percutaneous coronary intervention [52]. Surprisingly, a study in Jakarta found that patients hospitalized following myocardial infarction with AIP values <0.24 had almost four times higher mortality than those who did not have [60]. Although the authors did not find an explanation for their results, they suggested the role of the patients’ diet as a possible reason.

The meta-analysis conducted by Wu et al. [61] found that high AIP values are associated with an increased risk of AIP; however, this meta-analysis has many inconsistencies, such as the incorrect grouping of values in the overall meta-analysis, as they placed AIP values according to gender, which should have been done in a subgroup analysis according to the participants’ gender. Another error in this manuscript is the lack of explanation of how the AIP values were obtained for the subgroup analysis according to the patients’ health status because there is no such information in the primary studies they used.

Despite the evidence suggesting an association between AIP and CAD, this is a systematic review and meta-analysis that systematize the available evidence. We also conducted sensitivity analyses considering the biases of the studies and the place of origin of the studies, which provided robustness to our results. The findings obtained allow us to suggest the use of AIP as a potential low-cost marker of CAD that will allow health personnel to prioritize management strategies and could even be used as part of predictive scores, replacing markers such as triglycerides. Similarly, the usefulness of this marker is independent of the age of the patients [39,62], although, concerning gender, some studies suggested that, at least in young patients, its predictive value is mainly in males [39], which should be verified in subsequent studies. However, despite the fact that AIP is a marker that is calculated using parameters that are easy to obtain in clinical practice and that our results indicate its usefulness, the studies included in our systematic review are flawed and have small sample sizes. In this sense, despite being promising, more studies with better design are needed before adopting it in usual clinical practice.

Our systematic review has some limitations that must be acknowledged. First, there is evidence of high statistical heterogeneity due to the clinical and methodological differences between the analyzed studies. Second, most studies have not controlled the AIP values for confounding variables that impact the proposed outcome. Sociodemographic lifestyles and comorbidity variables should be considered in future studies to avoid confounding bias. Despite this, the direction of the effect is consistent in most of the reported studies. Third, most studies were conducted in Asia, with few or no studies found in other continents. Therefore, it is important to analyze the AIP value in CAD risk in these populations to establish its usefulness. Fourth, no definitive cutoff points have been reported to set the sensitivity and specificity of the AIP in CAD; thus, it is necessary to address it in future research in various contexts and populations. Finally, our findings indicate that high AIP values are associated with a greater possibility of suffering from CAD; however, with the obtained evidence, we consider that AIP is a risk marker and not a causal risk factor because the causes of lipid alterations are mediated by genetic and environmental factors. The AIP in altered ranges would be the expression of this multicausality and, therefore, a biomarker of the pathophysiological process leading to the appearance of CAD.

5 Conclusion

This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that patients with higher AIP values have higher odds of developing CAD. However, additional primary studies are warranted to define an optimal cutoff point of AIP to predict CAD.
