Background
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients with COVID-19 infection and has been associated with poor outcomes. At the ASN 2022 Kidney Week, we presented data from RECOVID study evaluating the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) and early mortality among patients with COVID-19 infection and AKI in both vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. Here we present updated long term mortality follow-up data from RECOVID cohort.
Methods
In this retrospective, observational cohort study, we explored long term mortality data for the RECOVID cohort, which evaluated patients admitted for COVID-19 infection who developed an AKI at UCLA from March 2020. These patients were followed until February 2023.
Results
Among the 3527 hospitalized patients with COVID-19, 878 patients met criteria for inclusion in the study. Of the 878 patients with AKI 46.8% did not receive the COVID-19 vaccine and 53.2% were vaccinated. When evaluating long term follow-up among AKI patients, vaccinated patients continued to have significantly less mortality with a mean survival of 715 days (95% CI, 667-762) as compared to unvaccinated patients with a mean survival of 316 days (95% CI, 262-369). Association of unvaccinated status with shorter overall survival remained significant after multivariate analysis (HR, 5.11 [3.87- 6.76]; P < .001).
Conclusion
Vaccinated patients with COVID-19 infection and AKI had improved long-term survival and were less likely to be dialysis-dependent.
