dc.description.abstractWith the ageing of population worldwide, the riskof both osteoporosis and chronic kidney disease increased. These two conditions multiply the riskof bone fractures. The higher riskoffractures in CKD is accompanied bya higher mortality rate in hemodialysis patients. According to the Universityof Michigan’s study,the risk mortalityafter hip fracturewas 6.5 times higher in stage 5 CKD patients compared with patient with normal kidney function. In this study we analyzed the role of bone mineral metabolism and of hip fractures on cardiovascular mortality in a population of chronic kidney disease pre-dialysis patients. Methods: In an observational study, we included 300 patients followed in a pre-dialysis clinic during a 8 years period (2005-2013). Descriptive statistics and the Cox proportional hazard regression model were used to find risk factors of cardiovascular mortality.The mean age of these patients was 69.38 years, the mean eGFR (MDRD) was 20.40 ml/min and 60% (180) were female. Results: Using the Cox proportional hazard regression model, adjusted to age, gender, Diabetes Mellitus, Charlson comorbidity index, e-GFR, calcium, phosphorus, PTH, 25 OHD, osteocalcin, albumin and hip fractures, we found that25(OH)2D3 (HR= 0.950, 95% CI, 0.697 to 0.993 p=0.035), eGFR (HR= 0.638, 95% CI, 0.586 to 0.993, p=0.028) and hip fractures (HR= 1.753, 95% CI, 1.294 to 1.893 p=0.036) were independent risk factors of cardiovascular mortality. Conclusions: In our population of chronic kidney pre-dialysis patients, the levels of 25 (OH)2D3 and renal function, as well asthe presence of hip fractures increased the risk of cardiovascular mortality.
