| Abstract: | BACKGROUND: Frailty has been associated with mortality and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with hemodialysis (HD), however the relevance of frailty on the outcomes of HD vascular access remains unclear. METHODS: We enrolled a cohort of patients with prevalent HD between August 2018 and November 2018. The presence of 5 frailty phenotypes was determined at enrollment, using the modified Fried's criteria. Data regarding vascular access events or mortality were linked to prospectively collected data up to 24 months after enrollment. RESULTS: Of the 382 patients screened, 313 were recruited in the final analysis. The participants' mean age was 66 years, and 42.5% were female. Among all participants, 40.3% were determined to be frail and 29.4% pre-frail. The frail phenotype was associated with age, female gender, lower body mass index, unemployment, lower education level, and higher dialysis clearance. During the follow-up period (median, 24 months), 112 patients had vascular access events (non-frail, 27.4%; pre-frail, 35.9%; frail, 46.1%; p = 0.003) and 45 patients experienced thrombosis of the vascular access (non-frail, 4.2%; pre-frail, 9.8%; frail, 18.3%; p = 0.002). Cox regression analysis showed that frail patients had a 2.2-fold higher risk of experiencing vascular access events than non-frail patients [hazard ratio (HR): 2.205, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.377-3.532, p = 0.001], but the association was not significant (HR: 1.634, 95% CI: 0.938-2.848, p = 0.082) after multivariate adjustment. CONCLUSIONS: The frail phenotype is common in Taiwanese patients who undergo maintenance HD and is associated with adverse outcomes of dialysis vascular access. |
