Abstract
Few studies regarding chronic kidney disease (CKD) and anemia have been conducted in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy (CC). We evaluated the risk prediction performance of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation and anemia in CC patients. From 2000 to 2010, a total of 232 patients were studied in a single-center retrospective study. CKD was defined as creatinine clearance <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 according to CKD-EPI equation. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin <12 g/dL (women) and <13 g/dL (men). Cox proportional hazards models were used to establish predictors for death. At baseline, 98 individuals (42.2%) had criteria for CKD and 41 (17.7%) for anemia. During follow-up, 136 patients (58.6%) died. Independently, CKD and anemia were not associated with all-cause mortality. However, when they coexisted, an additional risk was attributed for these patients. Cox proportional hazard models analysis identified systolic blood pressure (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.98 to 1.00; P=0.015), implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (hazard ratio, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.27 to 0.85; P=0.012), left anterior fascicular block (hazard ratio, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.08 to 2.13; P=0.017), left ventricular end-dia...Continue Reading
