Predialysis nephrology care has been reported to improve postdialysis survival, but its effects on postdialysis major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) have not been comprehensively studied. Study Design Observational cohort study. Setting & Participants We used data from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. Adult patients who initiated maintenance dialysis therapy in 1999 to 2010 were enrolled. Predictor We created 3 subtypes of predialysis nephrology care based on the time between the first nephrology visit and the initiation of dialysis therapy: early frequent (duration ? 6 months; at least 1 nephrology visit every 3 months), early infrequent (duration ? 6 months, <1 nephrology visit every 3 months), and late (duration < 6 months). Outcomes MACE was defined using the primary diagnosis in hospitalization records of acute myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, acute stroke, or sudden death. Measurements We investigated the associations of different subtypes of nephrology care with postdialysis 1-year MACEs. Results Among the 60,329 eligible patients, 24,477 (40.6%) had early frequent, 12,763 (21.2%) had early infrequent, and 23,089 (38.3%) had late nephrology care. Compared to the late-nephrology-care group, the early-frequent group was associated with an ?10% lower risk for 1-year MACEs (HR of 0.89 [95% CI, 0.82-0.96] for first MACE and relative risk of 0.91 [95% CI, 0.84-0.98] for recurrent MACEs). However, the early-infrequent-care group had similar risks for MACEs as the late group (HR of 0.95 [95% CI, 0.86-1.05] for first MACE and relative risk of 0.94 [95% CI, 0.86-1.02] for recurrent MACEs). Limitations Lack of physical and biochemical information because of inherent limitations from administrative claims data. Conclusions Early frequent nephrology care for 6 or more months before the initiation of long-term dialysis therapy may improve 1-year postdialysis major cardiovascular outcomes. ? 2017 National Kidney Foundation, Inc. |
