Popis: Background and Aims The aim of the study was to analyze hospitalization and mortality parameters in Saudi elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis for end stage renal disease. Method The study population included all patients admitted at Davita-KSA clinics to continue renal replacement by hemodialysis during the period October 2014-December 2018. Two groups were identified according to age at admission to Davita clinics: Group 1 (age>=65 years), Group 2 (age Annual mortality and hospitalization rates with the corresponding confident intervals were calculated as appropriate. Survival rates were calculated according to actuarial method logistic regression was used to identify factors influencing hospitalization and mortality. Results Elderly patients represented 23.84% of 3508 included patients (G1),). The sex ratio was of 1.07 Vs. 1.21 in control group (NS). ESRD was attributed to diabetes in 52.7% of elderly patients Vs. 36.3% in others ( The proportion of patients who were hospitalized was of 30.8% in G1 Vs. 24.6% in G2 (p Adjusted hospitalization and mortality risks were of 1.271 (CI, 95%: [1.065-1.516]; p Conclusion Our study demonstrated that Saudi elderly hemodialysis patients remain a group at high risk for hospitalization and mortality.
