Highlights
- •The use of PPIs increase cardiovascular events in patients with hemodialysis.
- •The use of PPIs link to QTc interval prolongation in patients with hemodialysis.
- •Bleeding events do not decrease with the use of PPIs in patients with hemodialysis.
Abstract
Background
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are known to increase the risk of mortality and cardiovascular
events in the general population. However, in patients with maintenance hemodialysis,
PPI effects are under investigated.
Methods
We analyzed the risk of PPIs for cardiovascular events using the Kagoshima Dialysis
(KIDS) registry, a prospective, multicenter, observational study in patients with
maintenance hemodialysis in Japan.
Results
In all, 531 patients were enrolled from June 2015 to December 2018. One-year follow-up
data were available for 376 patients (Use of PPIs at baseline (PPI group): 217 patients
and without PPIs (No PPI group): 159 patients). The incidence of a composite outcome
(all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke) was higher
in patients in the PPI group than the No PPI group (15.2% vs. 4.4%; hazard ratio (HR):
3.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.61–8.23, P = 0.002). In the multivariate analysis, even after adjustment for covariates, the
use of PPIs was an independent risk factor for a composite outcome (HR: 2.38, 95%
CI: 1.02–5.54, P = 0.045). We performed propensity score matching analysis as a sensitivity analysis,
showing a consistent result. The incidence of bleeding showed no difference between
the two groups (15.7% vs. 11.3%; HR: 1.46, 95% CI: 0.83–2.59, P = 0.19).
Conclusions
These results indicate that the use of PPIs in patients with maintenance hemodialysis
might increase mortality and cardiovascular events without decreasing the risk of
bleeding. Therefore, it should always be analyzed if a patient truly needs PPIs.
