Risk factors for mortality in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients / 中华肾脏病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the risk factors of all-cause mortality in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD).Methods As a single-center retrospective cohort study,all incident PD patients who were catheterized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between November 1,2005 and February 28,2017 were included.Patients were divided into diabetes mellitus group (DM group) and non-diabetes mellitus group (NDM group).Outcomes were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to assess the risk factors of all-cause mortality.Results A total of 977 patients were enrolled.Compared with NDM group,patients in DM group were older (47.5±14.4 vs 59.3±11.3,P ＜ 0.01),had more cardiovascular disease (CVD) (7.5％ vs 20.3％,P ＜ 0.01),higher levels of serum hemoglobin (78.2±17.2 vs 82.3±14.6g/L,P ＜ 0.01),and lower levels of serum albumin (36.1±5.0 vs 32.7±5.6 g/L,P ＜ 0.01).The one-,three-and five-year patient survival rates of DM and NDM group were 89.7％,56.0％,31.9％ and 94.7％,81.3％,67.4％,respectively.Survival rate was significantly lower in DM group than in NDM group (x2=63.51,P ＜ 0.01).Stratified analysis showed that DM group had significant lower survival rate than NDM group in patients younger than 70 years old (x2=73.35,P ＜ 0.01),while survival rate was similar between the two groups patients older than 70 years old (x2=0.003,P=0.96).Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed that DM (HR1.74,95％CI1.27-2.38,P ＜ 0.01),age (HR1.05,95％CI1.04-1.06,P ＜ 0.01),leukocyte (HR1.06,95％CI1.00-1.12,P=0.04) and triglyceride (HR1.19,95％CI1.07-1.32,P ＜ 0.01) were all independent risk factors for all-cause mortality of PD patients.However,age (HR1.05,95％CI1.04-1.07,P＜ 0.01) and alkaline phosphatase (HR1.01,95％ CI1.00-1.01,P=0.02) were independent risk factors for all-cause mortality of diabetic patients.Conclusions Long-term survival rate was lower in diabetic PD patients than in non-diabetic PD patients.DM,age,leukocyte and triglyceride were independent risk factors of mortality in PD patients.Age and alkaline phosphatase were independent risk factors of mortality in diabetic patients.
