BACKGROUND Mesenteric ischemia is significantly more common in end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing chronic dialysis than in the general population and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However,...BACKGROUND Mesenteric ischemia is significantly more common in end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing chronic dialysis than in the general population and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, reports on prognostic factors in this population are limited.AIM To elucidate the in-hospital outcomes of acute mesenteric ischemia in chronic dialysis patients and to analyze protective factors for survival.METHODS The case data of 426 chronic dialysis patients who were hospitalized in a tertiary medical center for acute mesenteric ischemia over a 14-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Of these cases, 103 were surgically confirmed, and the patients were enrolled in this study. A Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the protective factors for survival.RESULTS The in-hospital mortality rate among the 103 enrolled patients was 46.6%.Univariate analysis was performed to compare factors in survivors and nonsurvivors, with better in-hospital outcomes associated with a surgery delay(defined as the time from onset of signs and symptoms to operation) < 4.5 d, no shock, a higher potassium level on day 1 of hospitalization, no resection of the colon, and a total bowel resection length < 110 cm. After 1 wk of hospitalization, patients with lower white blood cell count and neutrophil counts, higher lymphocyte counts, and lower C-reactive protein levels had better in-hospital outcomes. Following multivariate adjustment, a higher potassium level on day 1 of hospitalization(HR 1.71, 95%CI 1.19 to 2.46;P = 0.004), a lower neutrophil count(HR 0.91, 95%CI 0.84 to 0.99;P = 0.037) at 1 wk after admission, resection not involving the colon(HR 2.70, 95%CI 1.05 to 7.14;P = 0.039), and a total bowel resection length < 110 cm(HR 4.55,95%CI 1.43 to 14.29;P = 0.010) were significantly associated with survival.CONCLUSION A surgery delay < 4.5 d, no shock, no resection of the colon, and a total bowel resection length <110 cm predicted better outcomes in chronic dialysis patients with acute mesenteric ischemia.展开更多
