Proton-Pump Inhibitor is a Risk Factor for Hospital-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury in Elderly: A Case-Control Study

摘要


BACKGROUND: Hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (HA-AKI) is a common clinical problem in hospitalized patients. Its incidence is high in older patients and it carries a worse prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the risk factors of HA-AKI in elderly patients. METHODS: This retrospective case-control study was conducted from January 2018 to December 2019 in the Ditmanson Foundation Chia-Yi Christian Hospital. A total of 447 admissions with HA-AKI among elderly (≥ 75 years of age) patients were obtained. HA-AKI was defined and staged according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Propensity score matching was used to compare HA-AKI and non-AKI admissions for the risk factors of HA-AKI. RESULTS: HA-AKI admissions had an average of about 7 days (17.60 ± 11.94 vs. 10.94 ± 7.28, P < 0.001) longer length of hospital stay, with 4.4 times (69 vs. 16, P < 0.001) more admissions lasting more than 30 days, and 15 times (170 vs. 11, P < 0.001) higher in-hospital mortality rates, in comparison with non-AKI admissions. Respiratory failure, pulmonary edema, acute coronary syndrome/acute myocardial infarction, sepsis, malignancy, gout, as well as prescribed diuretics and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) were risk factors in HA-AKI (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: HA-AKI in elderly patients is associated with increased in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Prescription of PPIs may be one of the novel risk factors for HA-AKI. Our data contribute to the potential risks of the clinical use of PPIs in elderly patients with HA-AKI.
