Abstract

Background In the general population with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), obesity is associated with an increased risk of mortality. Given the typically observed obesity paradox among patients on kidney function replacement therapy (KFRT), especially dialysis patients, we examined the association of obesity with mortality among dialysis patients or living with a kidney transplant with COVID-19. Methods Data from the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database (ERACODA) were used. KFRT patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between 1 February 2020 and 31 January 2021 were included. The association of Quetelet's body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2), divided into: Results In 3160 patients on KFRT (mean age: 65 years, male: 61%), 99 patients were lean, 1151 normal weight (reference), 1160 overweight, 525 obese I and 225 obese II/III. During follow-up of 3 months, 28, 20, 21, 23 and 27% of patients died in these categories, respectively. In the fully adjusted model, the hazard ratios (HRs) for 3-month mortality were 1.65 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10, 2.47], 1 (ref.), 1.07 (95% CI: 0.89, 1.28), 1.17 (95% CI: 0.93, 1.46) and 1.71 (95% CI: 1.27, 2.30), respectively. Results were similar among dialysis patients (N = 2343) and among those living with a kidney transplant (N = 817) (Pinteraction = 0.99), but differed by sex (Pinteraction = 0.019). In males, the HRs for the association of aforementioned BMI categories with 3-month mortality were 2.07 (95% CI: 1.22, 3.52), 1 (ref.), 0.97 (95% CI: 0.78. 1.21), 0.99 (95% CI: 0.74, 1.33) and 1.22 (95% CI: 0.78, 1.91), respectively, and in females corresponding HRs were 1.34 (95% CI: 0.70, 2.57), 1 (ref.), 1.31 (95% CI: 0.94, 1.85), 1.54 (95% CI: 1.05, 2.26) and 2.49 (95% CI: 1.62, 3.84), respectively. Conclusion In KFRT patients with COVID-19, on dialysis or a kidney transplant, obesity is associated with an increased risk of mortality at 3 months. This is in contrast to the obesity paradox generally observed in dialysis patients. Additional studies are required to corroborate the sex difference in the association of obesity with mortality.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Studies examining kidney failure patients with COVID-19 reported higher mortality in hemodialysis patients than in kidney transplant recipients. However, hemodialysis patients are often older and have more comorbidities. This study investigated the association of type of kidney replacement therapy with COVID-19 severity adjusting for differences in characteristics. METHOD: Data were retrieved from the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database (ERACODA), which includes kidney replacement therapy patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from all over Europe. We included all kidney transplant recipients and hemodialysis patients who presented between February 1st and December 1st 2020 and had complete information reason for COVID-19 screening and vital status at day 28. The diagnosis of COVID-19 was made based on a PCR of a nasal or pharyngeal swab specimens and/or COVID-19 compatible findings on a lung CT scan. The association of kidney transplantation or hemodialysis with 28-day mortality was examined using Cox proportional-hazards regression models adjusted for age, sex, frailty and comorbidities. Additionally, this association was investigated in the subsets of patients that were screened because of symptoms or have had routine screening. RESULTS: A total of 1,670 patients (496 functional kidney transplant recipients and 1,174 hemodialysis patients) were examined. 16.9% of kidney transplant recipients and 23.9% of hemodialysis patients died within 28 days of presentation. In an unadjusted model, the risk of 28-day mortality was 33% lower in kidney transplant recipients compared with hemodialysis patients (hazard ratio (HR): 0.67, 95% CI: 0.52, 0.85). However, in an age, sex and frailty adjusted model, the risk of 28-day mortality was 29% higher in kidney transplant recipients (HR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.68), whereas in a fully adjusted model the risk was even 43% higher (HR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.93). This association in patients who were screened because of symptoms (n=1,145) was similar (fully adjusted model HR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.04). Results were similar when other endpoints were studied (e.g. risk for hospitalization, ICU admission or mortality beyond 28 days) as well as across subgroups. Only age was found to interact significantly, suggesting that the increased mortality risk associated with kidney transplantation was especially present in elderly subjects. CONCLUSION: In this study, kidney transplant recipients had a greater risk of a more severe course of COVID-19 compared with hemodialysis patients when adjusted for age, sex and comorbidities.

Abstract

In the general population with COVID-19, the male sex is an established risk factor for mortality, in part due to a more robust immune response to COVID-19 in women. Because patients on kidney function replacement therapy (KFRT) have an impaired immune response, especially kidney transplant recipients due to their use of immunosuppressants, we examined whether the male sex is still a risk factor for mortality among patients on KFRT with COVID-19. From the European Renal Association COVID-19 Database (ERACODA), we examined patients on KFRT with COVID-19 who presented between February 1st, 2020, and April 30th, 2021. 1204 kidney transplant recipients (male 62.0%, mean age 56.4 years) and 3206 dialysis patients (male 61.8%, mean age 67.7 years) were examined. Three-month mortality in kidney transplant recipients was 16.9% in males and 18.6% in females (p = 0.31) and in dialysis patients 27.1% in males and 21.9% in females (p = 0.001). The adjusted HR for the risk of 3-month mortality in males (vs females) was 0.89 (95% CI 65, 1.23, p = 0.49) in kidney transplant recipients and 1.33 (95% CI 1.13, 1.56, p = 0.001) in dialysis patients (pinteraction = 0.02). In a fully adjusted model, the aHR for the risk of 3-month mortality in kidney transplant recipients (vs. dialysis patients) was 1.39 (95% CI 1.02, 1.89, p = 0.04) in males and 2.04 (95% CI 1.40, 2.97, p interaction = 0.02). In patients on KFRT with COVID-19, the male sex is not a risk factor for mortality among kidney transplant recipients but remains a risk factor among dialysis patients. The use of immunosuppressants in kidney transplant recipients, among other factors, may have narrowed the difference in the immune response to COVID-19 between men and women, and therefore reduced the sex difference in COVID-19 mortality risk.
