Association of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug Use With Stroke Among Dialysis Patients

چکیده
Introduction Limited studies have evaluated risk of stroke associated with the use of NSAIDs in patients with end-stage kidney disease. We examined the adverse effects of selective and nonselective NSAID use on the risk of stroke in dialysis patients. Methods A case-crossover study was conducted using medical claims data from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. We identified patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke (defined as International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision, Clinical Modification codes 433, 434, and 436 for ischemic stroke and 430 and 431 for hemorrhagic stroke) from inpatient claims during the period from 2003 to 2012. Conditional logistic regression models with adjustment for potential confounders were used to determine the effects of NSAID use on stroke. Results A total of 1190 dialysis patients with stroke were identified from 2003 to 2012. The results indicate a 1.31-fold increased risk of stroke related to NSAID use during the 30 days prior to a stroke (AOR = 1.31; 95% CI: 1.03-1.66); likewise, an excessive risk of ischemic stroke was observed (AOR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.02-1.77). When classifying NSAIDs into selective and nonselective groups, nonselective NSAID use was significantly associated with an increased risk of stroke (AOR = 1.27; 95% CI: 1.00-1.61). Discussion In summary, the results show supportive evidence that NSAID use increased the risk of stroke in dialysis patients, which suggests the importance of closely monitoring the transient effects of initial NSAID treatment to patients on dialysis.
