This study examined the effectiveness of nirmatrelvir plus ritonavir (NMV-r) and molnupiravir (MOV) in treating COVID-19 among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
This retrospective cohort study, using the TriNetX research network, identified stage 3-5 CKD and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients with non-hospitalized COVID-19 between 1 January 2022, and 31 May 2023. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare patients on NMV-r or MOV (antiviral group) against those not receiving these treatments (control group). The primary composite outcome was the cumulative hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause hospitalization or death within the 30-day follow-up.
After PSM, two balanced cohorts of 6,275 patients each were established. The antiviral group exhibited a lower incidence of all-cause hospitalization or mortality (5.93% vs. 9.53%; HR: 0.626; 95% CI: 0.550-0.713) than controls. Additionally, antiviral recipients were associated with a lower risk of all-cause hospitalization (HR: 0.679; 95% CI: 0.594-0.777) and mortality (HR: 0.338; 95% CI: 0.227-0.504). The beneficial effects of antiviral agents were consistent across sex, age, vaccination status, antiviral type, and CKD stage.
Oral antiviral agents could be associated with lower rates of all-cause hospitalization or death among non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients with CKD.
本研究旨在评估奈玛特韦/利托那韦（NMV-r）和莫努匹韦（MOV）治疗慢性肾脏病（CKD）合并 COVID-19 患者的疗效。
本回顾性队列研究利用 TriNetX 研究网络，纳入 2022 年 1 月 1 日至 2023 年 5 月 31 日期间非住院 COVID-19 合并 CKD 3-5 期和终末期肾病（ESKD）患者。采用倾向评分匹配（PSM）比较接受 NMV-r 或 MOV（抗病毒组）与未接受这些治疗的患者（对照组）。主要复合结局为 30 天随访内全因住院或死亡的累积风险比（HR）。
PSM 后，建立了两组各 6275 例平衡的队列。抗病毒组全因住院或死亡发生率较低（5.93% vs. 9.53%；HR：0.626；95%CI：0.550-0.713）。此外，抗病毒组全因住院（HR：0.679；95%CI：0.594-0.777）和死亡（HR：0.338；95%CI：0.227-0.504）风险均较低。抗病毒药物的获益在性别、年龄、疫苗接种状态、抗病毒药物类型和 CKD 分期中均一致。
口服抗病毒药物可能与非住院 COVID-19 合并 CKD 患者的全因住院或死亡发生率降低相关。
