■肾功能是确定房颤(AF)患者口服抗凝药剂量和类型的关键因素之一,并且与中风和出血的风险密切相关。本研究旨在评估有边缘肾功能的抗凝房颤患者的肾功能变化及其对临床结局的影响。
■来自韩国索赔数据库,研究了房颤患者服用抗凝剂,基线eGFR为45~<60ml/min/1.73m2.根据维持两年的肾功能变化对患者进行分组,改进(eGFR>60毫升/分钟/1.73平方米),或恶化(eGFR<45ml/min/1.73m2)-该研究分析了包括缺血性卒中在内的结局,大出血,终末期肾病(ESRD),全因死亡,和临床结果的复合。
■共有5,126名患者被纳入研究:维持组2,170名(42.3%),改善组2,276(44.4%),肾功能恶化组中有680例(13.1%)。恶化组比其他组年龄更大,合并症更普遍。经过多变量调整后,恶化组与大出血的风险显着升高相关(调整后的风险比,95%置信区间;1.46,1.03-2.07,p=0.035),ESRD(1.49,1.24-1.80,p<0.001),全因死亡(9.29,4.92-17.6,p<0.001),和复合结局(1.57,1.36-1.83,p<0.001)。
■在具有边缘肾功能的抗凝房颤患者中,相当比例的患者在2年内出现肾功能下降,低于eGFR45ml/min/1.73m2.肾功能下降与较高的大出血风险相关。ESRD,全因死亡,以及与维持基线肾功能的患者相比的复合结局。
UNASSIGNED: Renal function is one of the crucial components for determining the dose and type of oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, and is also closely associated with the risks of stroke and bleeding. This study aimed to assess renal function changes and their impact on clinical outcomes in anticoagulated AF patients with marginal renal function.
UNASSIGNED: From a Korean claims database, patients with AF on anticoagulants and a baseline eGFR of 45 to <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 were studied. Patients were grouped by changes in renal function over two years-maintained, improved (eGFR >60 ml/min/1.73 m2), or worsened (eGFR <45 ml/min/1.73 m2)-the study analyzed outcomes including ischemic stroke, major bleeding, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), all-cause death, and a composite of clinical outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 5,126 patients were included in the study: 2,170 (42.3%) in the maintained group, 2,276 (44.4%) in the improved group, and 680 (13.1%) in the group with worsened renal function. The worsened group was older and had more prevalent comorbidities than other groups. After multivariable adjustment, the worsened group was associated with significantly higher risks of major bleeding (adjusted hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval; 1.46, 1.03-2.07, p = 0.035), ESRD (1.49, 1.24-1.80, p < 0.001), all-cause death (9.29, 4.92-17.6, p < 0.001), and the composite outcome (1.57, 1.36-1.83, p < 0.001).
UNASSIGNED: In anticoagulated AF patients with marginal renal function, a substantial proportion of patients experienced renal function decline below eGFR 45 ml/min/1.73 m2 within 2 years. Renal function decline was associated with higher risks of major bleeding, ESRD, all-cause death, and the composite outcome compared to those who maintained their baseline renal function.
