Abstract

Background/Aims: The mortality rate of the general population in Vietnam due to Covid-19 is 1.9% (https://covid19.gov.vn/), however, for patients with chronic kidney disease, patients on routine dialysis, peritoneal dialysis or kidney transplant recipients, Covid-19 infection increases the mortality rate by dozens of times. The Department of Nephrology of 115 People's Hospital is currently following a wide range of patients such as non-dialysis chronic kidney disease, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation. We conducted the study "Mortality rate in outpatients with chronic kidney disease after covid-19 infection in Nephrology department of 115 People’s Hospital." to assess the mortality rate our site. Methods: A retrospective study describing a series of cases on outpatients at the Department of Nephrology at People's 115 Hospital who were diagnosed with Covid-19 from April 2021 to October 2022. With two objectives are to survey the mortality rate of these patients after Covid-19 infection and to find out some factors could be related to the mortality rate. Results: The study included 998 outpatients from April 2021 to October 2022. We recorded an overall mortality rate of 19.8%, in which the mortality rate of 4 groups of non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplant recipients after Covid-19 infection are 20.2%, 23.7%, 28.6% and 2.9%, respectively. The difference is statistically significant with p < 0.05. Factors that increase the risk of death in the study sample include: female gender, advanced age and not having been vaccinated against Covid-19. Conclusions: The mortality rate of kidney transplant recipients after Covid-19 infection was the lowest at 2.9%, the overall mortality rate was 19.8%. In addition, we also recorded factors that increase the risk of death in the study sample including: female gender, advanced age and not having been vaccinated against Covid-19.
