Peripheral Blood Cytopenia and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality

Background Individual blood cell count abnormalities have been associated with cardiovascular disease and increased mortality. In this study, we defined a “cytopenia phenotype,” reflecting bone marrow hypoproliferation, to determine if peripheral blood cytopenia is associated with increased cardiova...

In this study, we defined a “cytopenia phenotype,” reflecting bone marrow hypoproliferation, to determine if peripheral blood cytopenia is associated with increased cardiovascular disease and mortality risk.

Median follow up was ≈9 years. The current study included 19 864 participants from REGARDS study (37.9% men, 40% Black participants) who have complete blood count available at study enrollment.

Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models estimated the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CI of cytopenia for mortality and incident cardiovascular disease in adjusted models. Mean age of the study participants was 64 years (SD:9.7). The prevalence of cytopenia was 1.9% (n=378). Cytopenia was associated with increased risk of all‐cause mortality (HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.34–2.22) and cardiovascular disease mortality (HR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.11–2.29). Cytopenia was associated with stroke risk in Black but not White participants (HR, 1.96 versus 0.86; P‐interaction for race=0.08) and was not associated with coronary heart disease risk.
