Background: Incident hemodialysis patients have a high mortality risk within the first months after dialysis initiation. Pre-end-stage renal disease (ESRD) factors like anemia management may impact early post-ESRD outcomes. Therefore, we evaluated the impact of pre-ESRD hemoglobin (Hgb) and pre-ESRD Hgb slope on post-ESRD mortality and hospitalization outcomes. Methods: The study included 31,472 veterans transitioning to ESRD. Using Cox and negative binomial regression models, we evaluated the association of pre-ESRD Hgb and Hgb slope with 12-month post-ESRD all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization rates using 4 levels of hierarchical multivariable adjustment, including erythropoietin use and kidney decline in slope models. Results: The cohort was 2% female, 30% African-American, and on average 68 ± 11 years old. Compared to Hgb 10–< 11 g/dL, both low (< 10 g/dL) and high (≥12 g/dL) levels were associated with higher all-cause mortality after full adjustment (HR 1.25 [95% CI 1.15–1.35] and 1.09 [95% CI 1.02–1.18], respectively). Similarly, Hgb exhibited a U-shaped association with CV mortality, while only lower Hgb was associated with a higher hospitalization rate. Neither an annual pre-ESRD decline in Hgb nor increase was associated with higher post-ESRD mortality risk after adjustment for kidney decline. However, we observed a modest J-shaped association between pre-ESRD Hgb slope and post-ESRD hospitalization rate. Conclusions: Lower and higher pre-ESRD Hgb levels are associated with a higher risk of early post-ESRD mortality, while there was no association between the pre-ESRD slope and mortality. An increase in pre-ESRD Hgb slope was associated with higher risk of post-ESRD hospitalization. Additional studies aimed at anemia management prior to ESRD transition are warranted.

Background: In 2014, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a labeling change for apixaban to include recommendations for patients with severe renal impairment and patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD), though these recommendations are largely based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data. Objective: Identify variables associated with bleeding events in hospitalized patients with ESRD on HD receiving apixaban. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter cohort study evaluated hospitalized patients with ESRD on HD receiving apixaban from January 1, 2013, through March 31, 2016. Correlational analysis and logistic regression were completed to identify factors associated with bleeding. Results: A total of 114 adults were included in the analysis. The median length of stay (LOS) was 6.2 (interquartile range = 3.8-11.9) days and bleeding events occurred in a total of 17 patients (15%). A weak correlation was identified for higher cumulative apixaban exposure, increased number of HD sessions while receiving apixaban, and increased hospital LOS ( P < 0.05; correlation coefficient < 0.40). When controlling for confounders, logistic regression revealed that composite bleeding events were independently increased by continuation of outpatient apixaban (odds ratio = 13.07; 95% CI = 1.54-110.54; P = 0.018), increased total daily dose of apixaban (odds ratio = 1.72; 95% CI = 1.20 to 2.48; P = 0.003), and total HD sessions while receiving apixaban (odds ratio = 2.04; 95% CI = 1.06-3.92; P = 0.033). Conclusion: The association between these factors and increased bleeding should prompt concern for long-term anticoagulation with apixaban in patients with ESRD receiving chronic HD.
