BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to identify the long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in treated @entity2521 @entity1 in Taiwan. METHODS: From the National Health Insurance Research Database (2001-2010), adult @entity1 (>=  18 years) with treated @entity2521 were identified. Comparison was made between @entity1 with mild form and severe form of treated @entity2521 after propensity score matching. The primary end point was the incidence of MACE. RESULTS: A total of 32,504 adult @entity1 with treated @entity2521 were identified between 2001 and 2010. After propensity score matching, 27,146 @entity1 were preserved for comparison, including 13,573 @entity1 with mild form and 13,573 @entity1 with severe form of treated @entity2521 . During follow-up, 728 individuals in mild treated @entity2521 group and 1,206 individuals in severe treated @entity2521 group had at least 1 MACE event. After adjustment for gender, @entity407 , @entity101 and @entity6 , severe treated @entity2521 was associated with a mildly but significantly increased risk of MACE among older @entity1 > 60 years of age (incidence rate ratio, 1.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.46). No association was found among younger @entity1  <= 60 years of age. CONCLUSIONS: Severe form of treated @entity2521 was associated with an increased risk of MACE among older Taiwanese @entity1 , but not among younger Taiwanese @entity1 . We should put more efforts on the improvement of periodontal health to prevent further MACE.
