Prevalence and Mortality of Hypochloremia Among Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Hypochloremia is a predictor for short-term mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease, but its association with coronary artery disease (CAD) is still unclear. We aimed to assess the impact of hypochloremia on all-cause mortality (short-and long-term) among patients with CAD.

Patients and methods

Based on the registry at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital in China, we analyzed data of 49,025 hospitalized patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) and were diagnosed with CAD from January 2007 to December 2018. To assess the association between hypochloremia and the study endpoints, a logistic-regression model (for 30-day all-cause mortality) and a Cox regression model (for long-term all-cause mortality) were fitted.
