Hospitalization in dialysis patients.

D M Carlson, D A Duncan, J M Naessens

    Mayo Clinic Proceedings
    |November 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hospitalizations are common for patients with advanced renal failure on dialysis, with dialysis access issues, gastrointestinal, and cardiac problems being primary causes. Hospitalization rates increase with age and are higher for peritoneal dialysis patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Advanced renal failure necessitates dialysis for patient survival.
    • Dialysis patients experience significant morbidity, often requiring hospitalization.
    • Understanding hospitalization patterns is crucial for improving patient care and resource allocation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the frequency and duration of hospitalizations in dialysis patients.
    • To identify specific complications leading to hospitalization.
    • To analyze risk factors associated with hospitalization in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study of 946 patients with advanced renal failure undergoing dialysis in 1981.
    • Data collection on hospitalization frequency, duration, and reasons.
    • Analysis of demographic factors (age, diabetes) and dialysis modality (hemodialysis vs. peritoneal dialysis) as potential risk factors.

    Main Results:

    • 59% of patients were hospitalized 1,207 times (mean 1.8 stays/yr).
    • Major causes included dialysis access problems (25%), gastrointestinal (13%), and cardiac (13%) complications.
    • Hospitalization rates and duration increased with age and were higher for peritoneal dialysis patients. Diabetes was a significant factor in younger patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Dialysis patients, particularly older individuals and those on peritoneal dialysis, face substantial hospitalization burdens.
    • Dialysis access issues and specific medical complications are key drivers of hospitalization.
    • Age and dialysis modality are critical factors influencing hospitalization frequency and duration in advanced renal failure.
