AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognostic value of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in 
      elderly Chinese patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS: The study 
      consisted of 327 elderly patients with CHF. All-cause mortality was chosen as an 
      endpoint over the median follow-up period of 345 days. Cox regression analysis 
      was used to identify the risk factors of mortality. RESULTS: The median age of 
      the entire cohort was 85 years (60-100 years). The mortality for 168 elderly 
      patients with CHF and CKD (51.4% of entire cohort) was 39.9% (67 deaths), which 
      was higher than the mortality for CHF patients without CKD [25.2% (40/159 
      deaths)] and the mortality for entire cohort with CHF [32.7% (107/327 deaths)]. 
      The Cox regression analysis showed that old age [hazard ratio (HR): 1.033; 95% 
      confidence interval (95% CI): 1.004-1.064], CKD (HR: 1.705; 95% CI: 1.132-2.567), 
      CHF New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV (HR: 1.913; 95% CI: 1.284-2.851), 
      acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (HR: 1.696; 95% CI: 1.036-2.777), elevated 
      resting heart rate (HR: 1.021; 95% CI: 1.009-1.033), and decreased plasma albumin 
      (HR: 0.883; 95% CI: 0.843-0.925) were independent risk factors of mortality for 
      elderly patients with CHF. CONCLUSIONS: CKD was an independent risk factor of 
      mortality for elderly Chinese patients with CHF.
