The impact of end-stage kidney disease on mortality in patients after acute myocardial infarction: A nationwide study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on mortality in patients with first-time acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods

This was a retrospective nationwide cohort study. Patients diagnosed with first-time AMI between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2012, were included. All patients were followed-up until death or December 31, 2012, whichever occurred first. A one-to-one propensity score matching technique was used to match patients with ESKD to those without ESKD of similar sex, age, comorbidities, and coronary intervention (including percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] and coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]). Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival curves were constructed to compare AMI patients with and without ESKD.
