Higher body mass index is not a protective risk factor for 28-days mortality in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy

摘要

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a fatal and common clinical disorder in critically ill patients. Recent studies have shown that the relationship between BMI and the outcome of patients with AKI undergoing CRRT is conflicting. Methods: A retrospective cohort study based on data reuse. Univariate analysis, multi-factor regression analysis and subgroup analyses were used to explore the association of the BMI with the 28-days mortality risk in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT. Results: From January 2009 to September 2016, a total of 1120 cases met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in this study. The univariate analysis showed that BMI was associated with 28-days mortality of patients with AKI undergoing CRRT, its HR value was 0.98 (0.96, 0.99). The multi-factor regression analysis showed that BMI was not associated with 28-days mortality of patients with AKI undergoing CRRT in the four models, the adjusted HR value of four models were 1.00 (0.96, 1.04), 1.01 (0.97, 1.04), 1.00 (0.96, 1.04) and 1.00 (0.96, 1.04), respectively. The subgroups analyses showed that the BMI was a risk factor of the 28-days mortality in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT when GFR ≥30?mL/min, its HR value was 1.04 (1.01, 1.09). Conclusion: Higher BMI was not a protective risk of 28-day mortality in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT. Especially, when GFR ≥30?mL/min, higher BMI increased the risk of the 28-day mortality rate in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT.
