Trends in incidence and mortality of acute kidney disease following coronary angiography in Chinese population: 2008–2017

Abstract Background Acute kidney disease (AKD) has received increasing attention owing to its poor prognosis. However, few studies have investigated the trends in AKD incidence and prognosis among patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG). Therefore, this study was designed to explore trends in the incidence and mortality of AKD following CAG in China. Methods We enrolled patients undergoing CAG using data of the Cardiorenal Improvement (CIN) cohort registry of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to examine the incidence of AKD from 2008 to 2017. Mortality rates are presented as deaths per 1000 person‐years and were evaluated in univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results A total of 9665 patients (mean age: 61.6 ± 9.6 years, 40% women) were enrolled in the final analysis. From 2008 to 2017, the overall incidence and mortality of AKD were 19% and 323.0 per 1000 person‐years, respectively. The incidence of AKD decreased from 25% to 13% during 2008–2017 (adjusted odds ratio, 0.40; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.31–0.51; p
