Key result
ESRD and CKD were associated with a higher annual frequency of pulmonary embolism (527 and 204 vs 66 per 100,000) and higher in-hospital mortality (P<0.001) compared to normal kidney function.
Why the study?
Does the presence of CKD or ESRD increase the risk and in-hospital mortality of pulmonary embolism compared to normal kidney function?
Observational
Yes
Does the presence of CKD or ESRD increase the risk and in-hospital mortality of pulmonary embolism compared to normal kidney function?
Absolute Event Rate: 527% vs 66%
Patients with CKD and ESRD have a significantly higher incidence of pulmonary embolism and greater in-hospital mortality compared to those with normal kidney function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
CKD/ESRD may warrant heightened PE vigilance; observational data leaves open independent causality and prevention needs.
Kumar et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Pulmonary Embolism. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) vs. Normal kidney function (NKF) was evaluated on Annual frequency of pulmonary embolism (events per 100,000 persons). ESRD and CKD were associated with a higher annual frequency of pulmonary embolism (527 and 204 vs 66 per 100,000) and higher in-hospital mortality (P<0.001) compared to normal kidney function.
