Contemporary Trends and Outcomes in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and End-Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis: Insight from the National Inpatient Sample.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis and myocardial infarction constitutes almost 20% of such deaths. We assessed the trends, characteristics and in-hospital outcomes in patients with ESRD.

Methods

We used national inpatient sample (NIS) to identify patients with ESRD presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) for calendar years 2012-2016. Multiple logistic regression analysis and propensity matched data was used to compare outcomes for the purpose of our study.

Results

Patients on dialysis who presented with STEMI were less likely to be treated with emergent reperfusion therapies including percutaneous coronary intervention, bypass graft surgery and thrombolyti
