P0834IMPACT OF CKD ON MORTALITY IN HEART FAILURE
Abstract
Background and Aims
The presence of CKD impacts short term survival of heart failure patients however impact on long term survival is not well known. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of CKD on long term survival.
Method
Data were collected on long term survival of 845 patients (1029 admissions) admitted with diagnosis with acute heart failure. Data on mortality was collected by electronic patient records. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS 25.
Results
The baseline characteristics were: age 76 (13) mean (SD); Haemoglobin 11.8 (2), urea 37.2 (26.8), eGFR 63.3 (30.4), potassium 4.34 (0.70) and 36% diabetics, 567 patients (67%) died during follow up of median 916 days (IQR 188-1936 days).
Patients who died were older, with higher urea, creatinine, potassium and NT proBNP. In a survival analysis adjusted for diabetes and haemoglobin; age, urea, NT-proBNP baseline eGFR and potassium predicted mortality (see table).
CKD patients with eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2 had poorer survival compared to patients with eGFR>60 (log rank p=0.000) (see figure 1)
Conclusion
Long term mortality in patients with CKD was higher which was an independent predictor of survival
