abstract |
While acute respiratory tract infections can trigger cardiovascular events, the differential
effect of specific organisms is unknown. This is important to guide vaccine policy.<br></br>Using
national infection surveillance data linked to the Scottish Morbidity Record, we identified
adults with a first myocardial infarction or stroke from January 1, 2004 to December
31, 2014 and a record of laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection during this period.
Using self-controlled case series analysis, we generated age- and season-adjusted
incidence ratios (IRs) for myocardial infarction (n=1227) or stroke (n=762) after
infections compared with baseline time.<br></br>We found substantially increased myocardial
infarction rates in the week after <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> and influenza virus
infection: adjusted IRs for days 1-3 were 5.98 (95% CI 2.47-14.4) and 9.80 (95% CI
2.37-40.5), respectively. Rates of stroke after infection were similarly high and
remained elevated to 28 days: day 1-3 adjusted IRs 12.3 (95% CI 5.48-27.7) and 7.82
(95% CI 1.07-56.9) for <i>S. pneumoniae</i> and influenza virus, respectively. Although
other respiratory viruses were associated with raised point estimates for both outcomes,
only the day 4-7 estimate for stroke reached statistical significance.<br></br>We
showed a marked cardiovascular triggering effect of <i>S. pneumoniae</i> and influenza
virus, which highlights the need for adequate pneumococcal and influenza vaccine uptake.
Further research is needed into vascular effects of noninfluenza respiratory viruses. |
