What is Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy In Patients With End Stage Renal Disease Results From The Nationwide Inpatient Sample Database about?
Background: When compared to patients with normal renal function, patients with chronic kidney disease develop higher in-hospital complications post implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy. However, data on safety of ICD therapy in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) is limited. In this study, we aim to explore the safety of ICD therapy in this population. Methods: Using the nationwide inpatient sample database, we conducted a retrospective analysis on ESRD patients who underwent ICD placement from 2010 to 2016. Appropriate ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes were used to identify the study population. Using 1:2 propensity score matching, we compared ESRD patients to those with normal renal function. Outcomes of interest were post-operative hemorrhage and hematoma formation, blood transfusion, pericardial complications, mechanical complications requiring lead revision, injury to a blood vessel, in-hospital mortality, and length of stay. Results: Our sample included 40,075 cases after using propensity score to match the study groups: ESRD, 14,363; normal renal function, 28,712. When compared to normal renal function, patients with ESRD had higher odds of post-operative hemo
