Background
The efficacy of statin uses in patients with PD have not been proven in large studies. Because most of studies included only HD patients or a small number of PD patients, there is lack of evidence whether statin have positive effect on PD patients or not. The aim of this study was to reveal the efficacy of statin uses in PD patients.
Methods
A total 612 incident PD patients between January 2006 and August 2019 were included in this study. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality and the main exposure of interest was a cumulative dose of statin. For defining the cumulative dose for statin, the definition of defined daily dose by World Health Organization was used. Patients who used statin for at least 28 cumulative defined daily doses (cDDD) after initiation of PD were defined as statin user.
Results
During a median follow-up duration of 33.0 months (IQR, 15.0-63.0), the primary outcome occurred in 124 (20.2%) patients. The mean age at initiation of PD was 53.6±14.5 years and 329 (53.8%) patients were men. The number of statin users was 390 (63.7%) and the number of patients who use statin before starting PD was 311 (50.8%). Statin use (≥28 cDDD) was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.20-0.52) after adjustment and this association was also consistent regardless of the use of statin before PD initiation. Adjusted hazard ratios for the all-cause mortality were 0.87 (95% CI, 0.53-1.43), 0.39 (95% CI, 0.20-0.75), 0.41 (95% CI, 0.18-0.91), and 0.13 (95% CI, 0.06-0.26) for the 28-365, 366-730, and 731-1095, respectively, compared with cDDD<28. The risk reduction of statin may be dose dependent.
Conclusion
Statin use was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality in incident PD patients with or without statin use before dialysis.
