- Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular and bleeding events. Data regarding the effectiveness and risks of aspirin therapy for primary prevention in the high-risk group of patients with chronic kidney disease are scant and controversial. This retrospective study included patients with chronic kidney disease. Participants were divided according to aspirin use. Outcomes included non-fatal cardiovascular events, major bleeding events and all-cause mortality. Among 10,303 patients, 2169 met the inclusion criteria and 1818 were included after 1:1 propensity-score matching. Our final cohort included patients with mean age of 73.4 ± 11.6 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate of 31.5 ± 10.5 ml/min/1.73m2 with follow up of 4.9 ± 1.5 years. There were no significant differences in all-cause mortality and bleeding events (odds ratio = 1.03, confidence interval [0.62, 1.84], p =.58 and odds ratio = 1.09, confidence interval [0.65, 1.72], p =.87 respectively). The incidence of cardiovascular events was higher in aspirin users versus non-users on univariate analysis (p < 0.01) and was comparable after controlling for possible risk-factors (OR = 1.05, CI [0.61, 3.14], p =.85). Chronic aspirin use for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease was not associated with lower mortality, cardiovascular events or increased bleeding among patients with chronic kidney disease. Those results were unexpected and should prompt further research in this field.
