Abstract
- Rationale & Objective: Optimal blood pressure (BP) control is a major therapeutic strategy in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We studied the association between BP and adverse kidney outcomes within a diverse cohort of Koreans with CKD.<br />Study Design: Prospective observational cohort study.<br />Setting & Participants: 2,044 participants from the Korean Cohort Study for Outcomes in Patients With CKD (KNOW-CKD).<br />Exposures: Baseline and time-updated systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP).<br />Outcome: A composite kidney outcome of a≥50% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from the baseline value or incident kidney replacement therapy.<br />Analytical Approach: Multivariate cause-specific hazards models and marginal structural models were fitted for baseline and time-updated BP, respectively.<br />Results: During 7,472 person-years of follow-up, the primary composite kidney outcome occurred in 473 participants (23.1%), an incidence rate of 63.3 per 1,000 patient-years. Compared with baseline SBP<120mm Hg, the hazard ratios (HRs) for 120-129, 130-139, and≥140mm Hg were 1.10 (95% CI, 0.83-1.44), 1.20 (95% CI, 0.93-1.59), and 1.43 (95% CI, 1.07-1.91), respectively. This association was more evident in the model with time-updated SBP, for which the corresponding HRs were 1.31 (95% CI, 0.98-1.75), 1.59 (95% CI, 1.16-2.16), and 2.29 (95% CI, 1.69-3.11), respectively. In the analyses of DBP, we observed that time-updated DBP but not baseline DBP was significantly associated with the composite kidney outcome. Compared to patients with SBP<120mm Hg, patients with higher SBP had steeper slopes of eGFR decline. In the model including both SBP and DBP, only SBP was significantly associated with the composite kidney outcome.<br />Limitations: Observational design, unmeasured confounders, and use of office BPs only.<br />Conclusions: In patients with CKD, higher SBP and DBP levels were associated with a higher risk of a composite kidney outcome reflecting CKD progression. SBP had a greater association with adverse kidney outcomes than DBP.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 National Kidney Foundation, Inc. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
