Background
Prior studies have not evaluated whether trajectories of all-cause hospitalization identify high-risk sub-phenotypes of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods
We evaluated data on 3012 participants of the CRIC Study who were alive and did not reach end stage renal disease (ESRD) during the first 4 years of follow up. To identify clinically distinct trajectories of cumulative all-cause hospitalization during 4 years, we performed trajectory analyses using latent class model. Trajectory analyses allow agnostic detection of subpopulations with distinct longitudinal patterns. Next, we fit multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models to assess the associations of trajectories of all-cause hospitalization with ESRD and with ESRD-censored death in participants who survived beyond their 5th annual visit.
Results
Trajectory analyses identified 3 discrete groups based on cumulative all-cause hospitalizations within the first 4 years of follow-up: none (n=1090), intermediate-utilizer (n=1785), or high-utilizer (n=137). Participants in the high-utilizer group were more likely to be black, have greater prevalence of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, have higher body mass index and albuminuria, and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). During a median follow-up time of 5.6 years, there were 544 ESRD events and 437 ESRD-censored deaths. High and intermediate utilizer trajectory groups were associated with a higher risk of ESRD and ESRD-censored death (Figure).
Conclusion
Trajectories of cumulative all-cause hospitalization identify subgroups of patients with CKD who have increased risks of ESRD and death independent of known risk factors including eGFR and albuminuria. Population health interventions should focus on patients with CKD with increasing cumulative all-cause hospitalizations.
