Risk factors associated with severe coronavirus disease 2019 in maintenance hemodialysis patients
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Clinical Research - Year 2024, Vol 37, Issue 1
Abstract
<b>Objective</b> To analyze the risk factors of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in maintenance hemodialysis patients, and provide reference for early risk identification of the patients. <b>Methods</b> The clinical data of 73 maintenance hemodialysis patients diagnosed with COVID-19 admitted to Jilin Province Peoples Hospital from March to April 2022 were restrospectinely collected, and the patients were divided into MC group (mild and ordinary type, n=61) and SC group (severe and critically severe type, n=12) based on clinical classification. The patients baseline data [age, gender, COVID-19 vaccination status, age adjusted Charlsons complication index (aCCI), primary hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, malignant tumor, dialysis time], first clinical symptoms (fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, diarrhea, dyspnea) and laboratory examination indexes within 24 hours of admission (total number of white blood cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes; C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, D-dimer, albumin) were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for severe COVID-19 in maintenance hemodialysis patients. <b>Results</b> There were statistically significant differences in age, aCCI, total lymphocyte count, C-reactive protein and D-dimer between the two groups (P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that older age and higher C-reactive protein level were the independent risk factors for severe COVID-19 in maintenance hemodialysis patients (OR=1.256, 95%CI:1.016-1.553, P=0.035; OR=1.021, 95%CI: 1.001-1.041, P=0.041). <b>Conclusion</b> The COVID-19 vaccination rate of maintenance hemodialysis patients is low, the overall age is older. Older age and higher level of C-reactive protein are independent risk factors for severe COVID-19 in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
