Patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the form of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) belong to a group of particularly high risk of infection and the course of COVID-19. The new coronavirus infection also has a great impact on long-term outcomes.Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study included 510 patients on MHD, hospitalized from April 1, 2020 to April 01, 2021. The outcome of hospitalization was chosen as the primary endpoint of the study: discharge or 28day mortality. Death within 6 months after discharge and the development of complications related to COVID-19 during this period were considered as secondary endpoints. Data collection was carried out by analyzing electronic and archival medical records. Quantitative variables: age, duration of hospitalization, days in the intensive care unit, laboratory blood parameters: the level of D-Dimer, Glucose, Interleukin-6, Procalcitonin, Lymphocytes and Platelets, CRP, CPK, CPK-MB, LDH, Fibrinogen, Ferritin. Qualitative indicators: gender, ventilator, ARDS, the presence of diabetes, the presence of obesity, the presence of complications: cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, septic, macrothrombotic, stage of pneumonia. To identify statistically significant predictors of the risk of an event, the odds ratio (OR) method was used.Results: average age 57.8±14 years, men – 59.5%, average bed day 17.6±10.6 days. In concomitant diseases, diabetes mellitus was indicated in 24% of patients, obesity was registered in 4.3% of patients. Hospital mortality (28-day) in the total cohort of follow-up was 16.05%, in total with out-ofhospital mortality of 22%. Mortality in intensive care reached 62.7%, on ventilator more than 86%, with ARDS 94.3%. No statistical significance was revealed by gender and the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in concomitant diseases. When comparing short-term outcomes, the age groups over 65 differed statistically. The following laboratory blood parameters showed a significant difference (P |
