ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Results on the association between the use of renin-angiotensin system blockades (RASBs) and vascular access-related outcomes are inconsistent. We aimed to compare vascular access-related outcomes according to the use of RASBs in hemodialysis patients.METHODS:
This study used data from a national hemodialysis quality assessment program of the Republic of Korea (n = 54,903). Group 1 was not prescribed any blood pressure-lowering drugs (n = 28,521). Group 2 was prescribed other blood pressure-lowering agents except for RASBs (n = 9571). Group 3 was prescribed RASBs (n = 16,811). Vascular access-related outcomes were classified into intervention-free survival (IFS), thrombosis-free survival (TFS), and vascular access survival (VAS).RESULTS:
No significant difference in the three access survival rates was identified among the three groups. The multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that Group 3 had better outcomes in IFS and TFS than Group 1. The numbers of angioplasties performed were significantly greater in Group 1 than in the other two groups. The numbers of thrombectomies performed were significantly the lowest in Group 3 among all the groups.CONCLUSIONS:
Our study revealed different results according to types of access survival in univariate or multivariate analyses. The association of RASBs with favorable outcomes in vascular access remains unclear.
