Comparison of 30-day case-fatality rate between dialysis and transplant Covid-19 patients: a propensity score matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Patients undergoing kidney replacement therapies (KRTs) have a poor prognosis after Covid-19 infection. Few studies have compared the outcomes of such patients in the different KRT modalities. This study aimed to analyze the 30-day Covid-19-associated case-fatality rate of dialysis and kidney transplant patients.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study analyzing data from patients with confirmed Covid-19 between Mar/20 and Jan/21 included in two multicenter studies, the Brazilian Covid-19 Dialysis Study (Dialysis group, n = 703) and the Covid-19-KT Brazilian Study (Transplant group, n = 1907). To assess the risk factors for death, adjusted Cox hazards models were used. A sensitivity analysis was performed using a propensity score analysis to match the gr
