Survival Differences in Patients with High-Flux Hemodialysis versus Expanded Hemodialysis: A Cohort Study.
Introduction: Survival is a core outcome of hemodialysis (HD) therapy. Expanded hemodialysis (HDx) enabled by Theranova dialyzer increases clearance of medium-sized molecules and was reported to improve various patient-reported outcomes compared to HD using high-flux membranes, but the impact on survival is unclear. Herein, we evaluated the risk of death for HDx versus high-flux HD over a 4-year follow-up period.
Methods: This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study in adult prevalent chronic HD at Renal Care Services - Colombia starting between September 1, 2017, and November 30, 2017, with follow-up for up to 4 years. The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of all patients were summarized descriptively. The Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard model was employed to evaluate the sub-hazard ratio of factors associated with time to death from causes other than COVID-19; death attributable to COVID-19 was considered as a competing risk. Sensitivity analyses included Cox proportional hazards model, extended Cox regression, and Cox regression after adjusting for imbalances between cohorts using the inverse probability of treatment weighting method.
Results: We evaluated 1,092 patients, 559 in HDx cohort and 533 in high-flux HD cohort; the mean age 61 years; 42% had diabetes, and 19% had cardiovascular disease. HDx using the Theranova dialyzer had a protective effect with reduction of mortality risk when controlling for confounding variables, SHR = 0.79 [95% CI: 0.62-0.98, p = 0.035]. Sensitivity analyses also showed a statistically significant beneficial effect of HDx versus high-flux HD.
Conclusions: HDx enabled by Theranova dialyzer was associated with an approximately 21% reduction in mortality risk compared to treatment with high-flux HD in patients followed for up to 4 years. It would be desirable for these very promising results to be corroborated by a randomized controlled trial, with sufficient follow-up time to investigate the effect described in this study.
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.
