PG - 553-564 LID - 10.1159/000480487 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND/AIMS: Relationships between the number of anti-thrombosis agents, clinical benefits and adverse events in hemodialysis (HD) patients are unclear. METHODS: All patients on HD in 22 institutes (n = 1,071) were enrolled and followed up for 3 years. After exclusion of patients with missing data, kidney transplantation or retraction of consent during the follow-up period (n = 204), mortality rate and ischemic and hemorrhagic events were compared between different regimens of anti-thrombosis agents. RESULTS: The use of dual or triple antiplatelet (AP) agents (HR:2.03, 95% CI:1.01-4.13, p = 0.04) and the combination of an AP agent and warfarin (WF) (HR:4.84, 95%CI 1.96-11.96, p < 0.001) were associated with an increase in hemorrhagic events compared with no use of anti-thrombosis agents. No anti-thrombosis regimen was associated with a significant change in risk of ischemic stroke. The use of dual or triple AP agents, but not WF, was associated with an increase in cardiovascular mortality (HR:2.48, 95% CI:1.24-4.76, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: A significant increase in hemorrhagic events by the use of dual or more AP agents and by co-administration of an AP agent and WF in patients on HD should be considered in planning their anti-thrombosis regimen.
