Abstract
Objective: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of adverse cardio-cerebrovascular events. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic predictors over 5 years in patients with CKD including haemodialysis.
Methods: In this multicenter, prospective cohort study performed with the Gunma-CKD SPECT Study protocol, 311 patients with CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 min/ml/1.73 m 2 ], including 50 patients on haemodialysis, undergoing stress Tc-99m-tetrofosmin SPECT for suspected ischaemic heart disease were followed for 5 years. MACCRE was evaluated, and summed stress score, summed rest score, summed difference score (SDS), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), end-systolic volume (LVESV) and ejection fraction (LVEF) were evaluated by electrocardiogram-gated SPECT.
Results: Of the 311 patients, 268 were followed for 5 years, and of those patients, 126 experienced MACCRE: cardiac death, n = 15; sudden death, n = 5, nonfatal myocardial infarction, n = 5; hospitalization for heart failure, n = 16; cerebrovascular accident, n = 9; revascularization, n = 49; renal events (haemodialysis initiation/kidney transplantation), n = 20 and other cardiovascular events, n = 7. In univariate Cox analysis, eGFR ( P < 0.0001), haemoglobin ( P = 0.001), SDS ( P = 0.0001), LVEDV ( P = 0.002), LVESV ( P = 0.0003) and LVEF ( P < 0.0001) were associated with MACCRE, and in multivariate Cox analysis, eGFR ( P = 0.014) and SDS ( P = 0.002) were strongly associated with MACCRE. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, the event-free survival rate for MACCRE was better in patients with SDS below 3 than in those with SDS of 3 or higher ( P < 0.0001, log-rank test) and in patients with eGFR of 18 or higher than in those with eGFR below 18 ( P < 0.0001, log-rank test).
Conclusion: In patients with CKD, SDS and eGFR are reliable prognostic markers for the occurrence of MACCRE over 5 years.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine Communications, the official journal of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, is a rapid communications journal covering nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with radionuclides, and the basic supporting sciences. As well as clinical research and commentary, manuscripts describing research on preclinical and basic sciences (radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiobiology, radiopharmacology, medical physics, computing and engineering, and technical and nursing professions involved in delivering nuclear medicine services) are welcomed, as the journal is intended to be of interest internationally to all members of the many medical and non-medical disciplines involved in nuclear medicine. In addition to papers reporting original studies, frankly written editorials and topical reviews are a regular feature of the journal.
