Background: End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a well-recognized risk factor for development of sudden cardiac arrest(SCA). There is limited data on outcomes after an in-hospital SCA event in ESRD patients. Methods: Data were obtained from National Inpatient Sample from January 2007 to December 2017. In-hospital SCA was identified using International Classification of Disease, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification, and International Classification of Disease, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification codes of 99.60, 99.63, and 5A12012. ESRD patients were subsequently identified using codes of 585.6 and N18.6. Propensity -matched analysis using logistic regression with SD caliper of 0.2 was used to match patients with and without ESRD. Crude and propensity-matched (PS) cohorts outcomes were calculated. Results: A total of 1,412,985 patients sustained in-hospital SCA during our study period. ESRD patients with in-hospital SCA were younger and had a higher burden of key co-morbidities. Mortality was similar in ESRD and non-ESRD patients in PS matched cohort (70.4% vs. 70.7%, p = 0.45, figure 1) with an overall downward trend over our study years (figure 2). Conclusion: In the context of in-hospital SCA, mortality is similar in ESRD and non-ESRD patients in adjusted analysis. Adequate risk factor modification could further mitigate the risk of in-hospital SCA among ESRD patients

Elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, in light of several recent randomized trials, the issue of causality has been cast into doubt. Patients with end-stage renal disease are particularly interesting as they consistently have elevated tHcy and their leading causes of morbidity and mortality are related to cardiovascular disease. In the present article, we review the early evidence for the homocysteine theory of atherosclerosis, homocysteine metabolism, mechanisms of toxicity, and pertinent available clinical investigations. Where appropriate, the sparse evidence of homocysteine in peritoneal dialysis is reviewed. We conclude by addressing the difficulties associated with lowering plasma tHcy in patients with end-stage renal disease and suggest some novel methods for lowering tHcy in this resistant population. Finally, to address the issue of causality, we recommend that clinicians and scientists await the results of the FAVORIT trial before abandoning homocysteine as a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, as this study has recruited patients from a population with consistently elevated plasma tHcy who are known to respond to vitamin therapy.

Introduction. A deficiency in vitamin K through the utilization of warfarin may result in increased vascular calcification and complications. This study aimed to determine the impact of warfarin administration on patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) in a large, national sample. Methods. A retrospective analysis using the 2005–2010 National Inpatient Sample (NIS), a part of the Health Care Utilization Project (HCUP), was completed using ICD-9 diagnosis codes to capture patients with ESRD prescribed and not prescribed warfarin. Statistical analysis was through ANOVA and chi-squared testing. Results. From 2005–2010, 927,814 patients with ESRD were identified nationally. 3.5% (32,737) were prescribed warfarin. Patients prescribed warfarin had an average age of 64 years and 51% were male. For every comorbid condition (amputation, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, cerebrovascular accident, diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular diasese, and valvular disease) patients prescribed Warfarin had significantly higher rates of disease as compared to their nonwarfarin ESRD counterparts. ESRD patients prescribed warfarin had significantly shorter length of stay but increased hospital charges. They were more likely to be discharged to home and had significantly decreased in-hospital mortality. Conclusion. Patients with ESRD taking warfarin are more likely to have comorbidities and/or complications but have a decreased LOS and in-hospital mortality compared to their ESRD counterparts not administered warfarin.
