| description | Introduction
Previous studies have identified several risk factors for acute coronary
syndrome (ACS). This study was intended to examine the potential risk of ACS
associated with khat and tobacco use.
Methods
A case-control study of 344 people (172 cases and 172 controls) was
conducted at Prince Mohammed Bin Nasser Hospital in Jazan, Saudi Arabia,
from April to September 2019. The cases and controls were matched for age (±5
years) and gender. Data were analyzed using descriptive, inferential, and modeling
analyses. We utilized the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) to express the results.
Results
The prevalence of ever khat chewing among all study participants was
29.1%, significantly higher for the cases with ACS than for the control group
(43.6% vs 14.5%, p 0.05). In the final model, tobacco use was more likely to be reported among
cases with myocardial infarction (MI) (AOR=4.58; 95% CI: 1.01–4.73, p<0.05)
as was khat chewing (AOR=3.4; 95% CI: 1.55–7.46, p<0.05), after controlling for
other traditional risk factors.
Conclusions
Khat chewing was reported more by those who reported ACS. ACS
cases were more likely to be frequent khat users with chewing sessions of five or
more days per week. Regular tobacco use was also reported in those who reported
ACS, and this increases with the amount of tobacco used. Implementing early
intervention strategies can help mitigate the impact of khat chewing and smoking
on the development of ACS. |
