Özet
Objectives: Evaluation of atherogenic indices in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEXS) by traditional serum lipid profiles [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and non-HDL-c] and non-traditional serum lipid ratios [TC/HDL-c, TG/HDL-c, LDL-c/HDL-c and non-HDL-c/HDL-c]. Methods: A total of 100 patients were included in the study. Fifty patients diagnosed with PEXS were regarded as group 1 and 50 patients without PEXS were regarded as group 2, respectively. Results: The median TC, TG, LDL-c, HDL-c and non-HDL-c values were significantly higher in group 1 compared to group 2 (p = 0.007, p = 0.025, p = 0.016, p = 0.015 and p = 0.042, respectively). But there were no significant differences in the TC/HDL-c, TG/HDL-c, LDL-c/HDL-c and non-HDL-c/HDL-c ratios among the two groups (p = 0.581, p = 0.617, p = 0.292 and p = 0.583, respectively). Conclusions: Non-traditional serum lipid ratios are superior to traditional serum lipid profiles for identifying the risk of vascular disease and this study did not demonstrate a complete relationship between PEXS and increased risk of vascular disease.
