The risk trajectory of different cardiovascular morbidities associated with chronic kidney disease among patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus: a propensity score-matched cohort analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) introduces an increased cardiovascular risk among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The risk and tempo of cardiovascular diseases may differ depending upon their type. Whether CKD differentially influences the risk of developing each cardiovascular morbidity in patients with newly diagnosed DM remains unexplored.

Methods

We identified patients with incident DM from the Longitudinal Cohort of Diabetes Patients (LCDP) cohort (n = 429,616), and uncovered those developing CKD after DM and their propensity score-matched counterparts without. After follow-up, we examined the cardiovascular morbidity-free rates of patients with and without CKD after DM, followed by Cox proportional hazard regression analyses. We further evaluated the cumulative risk of developing each outcome consecutively during the study period.

Results

From LCDP, we identified 55,961 diabetic patients with CKD and matched controls without CKD. After 4.2 years, patients with incident DM and CKD afterward had a significantly higher risk of mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.14), heart failure (HF) (HR 1.282, 95% CI 1.19-1.38), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.04-1.3), and peripheral vascular disease (PVD) (HR 1.277, 95% CI 1.08-1.52) compared to those without CKD. The CKD-associated risk of mortality, HF and AMI became significant soon after DM occurred and remained significant throughout follow-up, while the risk of PVD conferred by CKD did not emerge until 4 years later. The CKD-associated risk of ischemic, hemorrhagic stroke and atrial fibrillation remained insignificant.

Conclusions

The cardiovascular risk profile among incident DM patients differs depending on disease type. These findings can facilitate the selection of an optimal strategy for early cardiovascular care for newly diagnosed diabetic patients.

Project description:BackgroundThe association between preoperative aspirin use and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiovascular surgery is unclear. We sought to evaluate the effect of preoperative aspirin use on postoperative AKI in cardiac surgery.MethodsA total of 770 patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass were reviewed. Perioperative clinical parameters including preoperative aspirin administration were retrieved. We matched 108 patients who took preoperative aspirin continuously with patients who stopped aspirin more than 7 days or did not take aspirin for the month before surgery. The parameters used in the matching included variables related to surgery type, patient's demographics, underlying medical conditions and preoperative medications.ResultsIn the first seven postoperative days, 399 patients (51.8%) developed AKI, as defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria and 128 patients (16.6%) required hemodialysis. Most patients took aspirin 100 mg once daily (n = 195, 96.5%) and the remaining 75 mg once daily. Multivariable analysis showed that preoperative maintenance of aspirin was independently associated with decreased incidence of postoperative AKI (odds ratio [OR] 0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.21-0.98, P = 0.048; after propensity score matching: OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.22-0.67, P = 0.001). Preoperative maintenance of aspirin was associated with less incidence of AKI defined by KDIGO both in the entire and matched cohort (n = 44 [40.7%] vs. 69 [63.9%] in aspirin and non-aspirin group, respectively in matched sample, relative risk [RR] 0.64, 95% CI 0.49, 0.83, P = 0.001). Preoperative aspirin was associated with decreased postoperative hospital stay after matching (12 [9-18] days vs. 16 [10-25] in aspirin and non-aspirin group, respectively, P = 0.038). Intraoperative estimated or calculated blood loss using hematocrit difference and estimated total blood volume showed no difference according to aspirin administration in both entire and matched cohort.ConclusionsPreoperative low dose aspirin administration without discontinuation was protective against postoperative AKI defined by KDIGO criteria independently in both entire and matched cohort. Preoperative aspirin was also associated with decreased hemodialysis requirements and decreased postoperative hospital stay without increasing bleeding. However, differences in AKI and hospital stay were not associated with in-hospital mortality.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral studies showed that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus local treatment of prostate could improve metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) patients' survival. To date there are few studies analyzed the value of prostate cryoablation in mPCa. The objective of our analysis is to evaluate the oncological results and clinical value of prostate cryoablation combined with ADT compared with ADT alone in newly diagnosed mPCa patients.MethodsNewly diagnosed mPCa patients undergoing cryoablation plus ADT (group A) between January 2011 and November 2018 were identified. Patients receiving ADT alone (group B) were selected from the same institutional prostate cancer database by propensity score matching based on clinical characteristics. Oncological results and clinical value in symptom control and primary lesion treatment were compared.ResultsFifty-four patients were included in each group. Prostate cryoablation was well tolerated. The median follow-up time was 40 (27-53) and 39 (31-54) months in group A and group B, respectively. Patients in group A had a lower median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) nadir (0.025 ng/mL vs. 0.230 ng/mL, p = 0.001), longer median failure-free survival (FFS) (39 months vs. 21 months, p = 0.005), and median metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)-free survival (39 months vs. 21 months, p = 0.007). No difference in cancer-specific survival and overall survival was found between the two groups. Multivariate Cox analysis showed combination therapy reduced the risk of FFS by 45.8% (HR = 0.542 [95% CI 0.329-0.893]; p = 0.016). Patients in group A had better clinical relief of urinary symptoms (79.1 vs. 59.1%, p = 0.044) and required less treatment of primary lesions for symptomatic relief (13.0 vs. 31.5%, p = 0.021).ConclusionsProstate cryoablation plus ADT decreases PSA nadir, prolongs FFS and mCRPC-free survival, relieves urinary symptoms and reduces the need for treating primary lesions in newly diagnosed mPCa patients compared to ADT alone.
