Population
100 CAD cases and 100 sex-matched controls undergoing coronary angiography in Gaza strip, Palestinian territories
Comparison
Patients with CAD vs patients with normal coronary angiography findings
Design
Retrospective case-control study
Aims: To identify the most significant risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Palestinian patients undergoing coronary angiography. Study Design: A retrospective case control design. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the only two cardiac catheterization centers in Gaza strip, Palestinian territories (European center in the south and Julis center in the mid-zone) from June to September 2010. Methodology: Based on coronary angiography results, we recruited a systematic random sample of 100 cases formally diagnosed with CAD matched with sex to 100 controls who had normal findings and were free from the disease. Data was collected using a questionnaire which included socio-demographic data and health profile. Chi square, univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to test the differences between cases and controls and to determine the predictors of CAD. Results: Most cases were male (72.9%), ≥50 years old (70%) and living in refugee camps
