Anemia is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may be associated with mortality in CKD patients. However, few studies have examined this relationship in Asian populations.
A total of 62,931 Japanese people (age 64.0 ± 8.0 years; men 38.5%) were followed up from 2008 to 2012. Participants were divided into six groups in accordance with their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (<45, 45-59, ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m) and by hemoglobin levels (13.0 g/dL for men; 12.0 g/dL for women). Hazard ratio and confidence interval (CI) for mortality with a combination of eGFR and anemia were calculated. After matching using propensity score (PS) for anemia, survival analysis between anemic and non-anemic people, independent from some variables, including eGFR, was performed.
A total of 828 (1.3%) participants died (non-anemic vs. anemic, 1.2 vs. 2.3%, p < 0.01). Multivariable Cox analysis showed that, independent of eGFR levels, anemic people had significantly higher mortality. Anemic people were found to have significantly poorer survival than non-anemic people as per a log-rank test (p < 0.01) for the PS-matching cohort. Further stratified logistic analysis using PS in the overall cohort odds ratio (95% CI) showed 2.25 (1.89-2.67) with p < 0.01.
The results of the present study showed that anemia was an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality.
贫血在慢性肾脏病（CKD）中很常见，并且可能与CKD患者的死亡率相关。然而，很少有研究在亚洲人群中探讨这种关系。
对总共62931名日本人（年龄64.0±8.0岁；男性占38.5%）进行了2008年至2012年的随访。参与者根据其估计肾小球滤过率（eGFR）（<45、45 - 59、≥60 mL/min/1.73 m²）和血红蛋白水平（男性为13.0 g/dL；女性为12.0 g/dL）分为六组。计算了eGFR和贫血联合情况下的死亡风险比和置信区间（CI）。在使用贫血倾向评分（PS）进行匹配后，对贫血和非贫血人群进行了生存分析，该分析独立于包括eGFR在内的一些变量。
共有828名（1.3%）参与者死亡（非贫血与贫血，分别为1.2%与2.3%，p<0.01）。多变量Cox分析表明，独立于eGFR水平，贫血人群的死亡率显著更高。对于PS匹配队列，根据对数秩检验（p<0.01）发现贫血人群的生存率明显低于非贫血人群。在总体队列中使用PS进行进一步分层逻辑分析，优势比（95%CI）为2.25（1.89 - 2.67），p<0.01。
本研究结果表明贫血是全因死亡率的独立危险因素。
