In contrast to proteinuric chronic kidney disease (CKD), the relative cardioprotective benefits of antihypertensive medications in nonproteinuric CKD are unknown. We examined long-term cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with nonproteinuric CKD treated with renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASIs) versus other antihypertensive medications.
Among participants of the CRIC study (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort) without proteinuria, we used intention-to-treat analyses with inverse probability of treatment weighting and Cox proportional hazards modeling to determine the association of RASIs versus other antihypertensive medications with a composite cardiovascular outcome (myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure hospitalization, and death) and mortality. Secondary analyses included per-protocol analyses accounting for continuous adherence and time-updated analyses accounting for the proportion of time using RASIs during follow-up.
A total of 2806 participants met the inclusion criteria. In the intention-to-treat analyses, RASIs versus other antihypertensive medications were not associated with an appreciable difference in cardiovascular events (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.94 [95% CI, 0.80-1.11]) or mortality (aHR, 1.06 [95% CI, 0.88-1.28]). In the per-protocol analyses, RASIs were associated with a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular events (aHR, 0.78 [95% CI, 0.63-0.97]) and mortality (aHR, 0.64 [95% CI, 0.48-0.85]). Similarly, in the time-updated analyses, a higher proportion of RASI use over time was associated with a lower mortality risk (aHR, 0.33 [95% CI, 0.14-0.86]).
Among individuals with nonproteinuric CKD, after accounting for time-updated use, RASIs are associated with fewer cardiovascular events and a lower mortality risk compared with other antihypertensive medications. Patients with nonproteinuric CKD may benefit from prioritizing RASIs for hypertension management.
与蛋白尿性慢性肾脏病(CKD)不同,抗高血压药物在非蛋白尿性CKD中的相对心脏保护益处尚不清楚。我们研究了使用肾素-血管紧张素系统抑制剂(RASI)与其他抗高血压药物治疗的非蛋白尿性CKD患者的长期心血管结局和死亡率。
在慢性肾功能不全队列(CRIC)研究中无蛋白尿的参与者中,我们采用意向性分析、治疗权重逆概率法和Cox比例风险模型,以确定RASI与其他抗高血压药物与复合心血管结局(心肌梗死、中风、心力衰竭住院和死亡)及死亡率之间的关联。次要分析包括考虑持续依从性的符合方案分析,以及考虑随访期间使用RASI时间比例的时间更新分析。
共有2806名参与者符合纳入标准。在意向性分析中,RASI与其他抗高血压药物相比,在心血管事件(校正风险比[aHR],0.94[95%CI,0.80-1.11])或死亡率(aHR,1.06[95%CI,0.88-1.28])方面无明显差异。在符合方案分析中,RASI与不良心血管事件风险较低(aHR,0.78[95%CI,0.63-0.97])和死亡率较低(aHR,0.64[95%CI,0.48-0.85])相关。同样,在时间更新分析中,随着时间推移使用RASI的比例越高,死亡风险越低(aHR,0.33[95%CI,0.14-0.86])。
在非蛋白尿性CKD患者中,在考虑时间更新使用情况后,与其他抗高血压药物相比,RASI与较少的心血管事件和较低的死亡风险相关。非蛋白尿性CKD患者可能优先使用RASI进行高血压管理而获益。
