Chronobiological variations of acute aortic dissection in a Northwest Chinese population

Abstract Background The prevalence of acute aortic dissection (AAD) has been gradually increasing in recent years. This study aimed to investigate the circadian variations of AAD onset in a northwest Chinese population and provide scientific insights for AAD prevention. Methods The clinical data of...

description Abstract Background The prevalence of acute aortic dissection (AAD) has been gradually increasing in recent years. This study aimed to investigate the circadian variations of AAD onset in a northwest Chinese population and provide scientific insights for AAD prevention. Methods The clinical data of 1,145 AAD patients admitted to our hospital between January 2010 and December 2020 were retrospectively collected, and the periodic features of AAD were analyzed. Results Stanford type A and type B AAD were present in 58.43% (669 cases) and 41.57% (476 cases) of the patients, respectively. The incidence rate was highest in the winter (358 cases, 31.27%) and lowest in the summer (225 cases, 19.65%). AAD occurred at the highest rate between 19:00–24:00 (321 cases, 28.03%) and the lowest rate between 1:00–6:00 (247 cases, 21.57%). Stanford type A AAD was most prevalent in the winter and the least prevalent in the spring, whereas Stanford type B AAD was most prevalent in the winter and the least prevalent in the summer. The difference between type A and type B in seasonal distribution was significant in spring (χ2 = 17.666, P < 0.001) and summer (χ2 = 6.228, P = 0.013). Stanford type A cases appeared most during 19:00–24:00 (236 cases, 35.28%) and least during 13:00–18:00 (73 cases, 10.91%), while Stanford type B cases appeared most during 13:00–18:00 (239 cases, 50.21%) and least during 1:00–6:00 (60 cases, 12.61%). The difference between type A and type B in period distribution was significant in all periods of time. Conclusions AAD onset followed a chronobiological pattern in patients from northwest China, with winter and 19:00–24:00 being the peak season and time period of AAD occurrence, respectively.
