Abstract
Background: The use of temporary left ventricular assist devices (T-LVADs) for circulatory support in cardiogenic shock is increasing along with complications like acute kidney injury requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT). While KRT is linked to mortality in cardiogenic shock, data on mortality in patients receiving both T-LVAD and KRT is limited.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, searching three databases from inception through 30 December 2023 for studies reporting on patients with concurrent T-LVAD and KRT support during cardiogenic shock. We performed random effects meta-analyses, looking at in-hospital mortality as our primary outcome. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the continent, timing of KRT, and type of T-LVAD. Risk of bias was assessed with the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists and certainty of evidence with the GRADE approach.
Results: We included 35 studies after screening through 89 full-text articles, consisting of 2277 individuals receiving T-LVAD and 722 (30.9%, 95% CI: 25.8-36.6) receiving concurrent KRT. In-hospital mortality was pooled across six studies, with 91 non-survivors (65.5%) amongst 139 individuals (95% CI: 57.2-72.9). Concurrent KRT and T-LVAD was associated with higher in-hospital (OR 3.48, 95% CI: 2.20-5.49) and overall mortality (OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.01-4.76) compared to patients not on KRT. The proportion of patients on KRT were significantly (pinteraction=0.0004) larger in Europe (37.2%, 95% CI: 32.2-42.4) than North America (18.2%, 95% CI: 12.0-26.7). Region, type of T-LVAD and publication year did not significantly impact any of the mortality outcomes.
Conclusion: Patients on concurrent KRT and T-LVAD suffer significantly greater odds of mortality compared to patients not receiving KRT during their hospital admission. A substantial proportion of patients receiving T-LVADs require KRT. Further studies with head-to-head comparisons between KRT and non-KRT treatment arms are warranted to confirm our findings, in addition to identifying at-risk populations that require KRT and potential interventions to improve survival in this subset of patients.
期刊介绍:
Practical information on hemodialysis, hemofiltration, peritoneal dialysis and apheresis is featured in this journal. Recognizing the critical importance of equipment and procedures, particular emphasis has been placed on reports, drawn from a wide range of fields, describing technical advances and improvements in methodology. Papers reflect the search for cost-effective solutions which increase not only patient survival but also patient comfort and disease improvement through prevention or correction of undesirable effects. Advances in vascular access and blood anticoagulation, problems associated with exposure of blood to foreign surfaces and acute-care nephrology, including continuous therapies, also receive attention. Nephrologists, internists, intensivists and hospital staff involved in dialysis, apheresis and immunoadsorption for acute and chronic solid organ failure will find this journal useful and informative. ''Blood Purification'' also serves as a platform for multidisciplinary experiences involving nephrologists, cardiologists and critical care physicians in order to expand the level of interaction between different disciplines and specialities.
