Data on the association between PKD and the risk of cardiovascular events, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), stroke, and congestive heart failure (CHF), are scant. Methods: Patients aged \u226520 years who were newly diagnosed with PKD (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes 753.12 and 753.13) between 2000 and 2011 were selected as a PKD cohort (N = 5157). The association between PKD and cardiovascular events was analyzed. Results: We randomly selected a comparison cohort of people without PKD, who were frequency-matched by sex, age, and index date of diagnosis. At the end of 2011, the PKD cohort had a 1.40-fold greater incidence of ACS compared with the comparison cohort (8.59 vs. 6.17 per 1000 person-years), in addition to a 1.40-fold greater incidence of stroke, a 1.49-fold greater incidence of CHF, and a 1.64-fold greater incidence of mortality. Conclusions: This retrospective cohort study shows that patients with PKD have an increased risk of cardiovascular events including ACS, stroke, and CHF as well as mortality, particularly in younger patients. Early identification is necessary to attenuate the risk of cardiovascular complications in patients with PKD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph15050903","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,4]],"date-time":"2018-05-04T03:08:21Z","timestamp":1525403301000},"page":"903","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Young-Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease is Associated with Major Cardiovascular Complications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Ya-Wen","family":"Chuang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tung-Min","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"},{"name":"Graduate Institute of Clinical Medical Science and School of Medicine, College of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shih-Ting","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kuo-Ting","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Clinical Medical Science and School of Medicine, College of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"},{"name":"Pediatric Dentistry of Dental Department, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying-Chih","family":"Lo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9416-4094","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pin-Kuei","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Critical Care, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bor-Jen","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Critical Care, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheng-Hsu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheng-Li","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Management Office for Health Data, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"},{"name":"College of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6368-3676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chia-Hung","family":"Kao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Clinical Medical Science and School of Medicine, College of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Nuclear Medicine and PET Center, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Medical Engineering, Asia University, Taichung 40447, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"687","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneph.2014.173","article-title":"An approach to cystic kidney diseases: The clinician\u2019s view","volume":"10","author":"Kurschat","year":"2014","journal-title":"Nat.
