Incidence of bleeding from gastroduodenal ulcers in patients with end-stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis.
Canadian Medical Association Journal : CMAJ 2011 December 14
BACKGROUND: Few large population-based studies have compared the incidence of bleeding of gastroduodenal ulcers between patients with and without end-stage renal disease. We investigated the association between ulcer bleeding and end-stage renal disease in patients receiving hemodialysis, and we sought to identify risk factors for ulcer bleeding.
METHODS: We performed a nationwide seven-year population study using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. We identified 36 474 patients with end-stage renal disease who were receiving hemodialysis, 6320 patients with chronic kidney disease and 36 034 controls matched for age, sex and medication use. We performed log-rank testing to analyze differences in survival time without ulcer bleeding among the three groups. We performed Cox proportional hazard regressions to evaluate the risk factors for ulcer bleeding among the three groups and to identify risk factors in patients receiving hemodialysis.
RESULTS: Patients receiving hemodialysis and those with chronic kidney disease had a significantly higher incidence of ulcer bleeding than controls had (p<0.001). Hemodialysis (hazard ratio [HR] 5.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.67-5.86) and chronic kidney disease (HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.62-2.35) were independently associated with an increased risk of ulcer bleeding. Diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, cirrhosis and use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were risk factors for ulcer bleeding in patients with end-stage renal disease who were receiving hemodialysis
INTERPRETATION: Patients with end-stage renal disease who are receiving hemodialysis had a high risk of ulcer bleeding. Diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, cirrhosis and the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were important risk factors for ulcer bleeding in these patients.
