Background: Chemerin is a newly discovered adipokine, which has been reported to be associated with the presence of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The present study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of serum chemerin in patients with DCM.
Methods: A total of 214 patients with DCM was recruited and divided into 4 groups, according to quartiles of chemerin levels. Kaplan–Meier analysis was conducted to compare the survival rates among patients with different levels of chemerin, using the log-rank test. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to assess the association of serum chemerin levels and occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including cardiac mortality, stroke and myocardial infarction.
Results: The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that patients with higher concentration of chemerin had shorter event-free survivals for MACEs (P < .01). Cox regression analysis showed that chemerin was a significant predictor of MACEs (Quartile 3 versus Quartile 1: HR=1.79, 95% CI: 1.31-2.79; Quartile 4 versus Quartile 1: HR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.79-4.25) and all-cause death (Quartile 3 versus Quartile 1: HR=1.56, 95% CI: 1.20-2.42; Quartile 4 versus Quartile 1: HR=2.28, 95% CI: 1.52-3.96) after adjusting for potential risk factors.
Conclusion: Serum chemerin should be a potential prognostic indicator in patients with DCM.
