Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the 1-year mortality risk subsequent to Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN) following CECT imaging, relative to other well-recognized predictors of mortality. Methods: We followed a prospective, consecutive cohort of ambulatory patients who received intravenous contrast for CECT for the outcome of death from any cause within 1 year. In a multivariate analysis, we compared CIN with other predictors of mortality: active malignancy, coronary artery disease (CAD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and age ≥70 years. Anticipating that terminal cancers would account for the majority of deaths in this population, we also analyzed the subset of patients without an active malignancy at the time of enrollment. Results: We followed 633 patients and 46 died (7%, 95%CI: 5-9%) within 1 year. The incidence of CIN was 11% (95%CI: 8-14%). Active malignancy (HR 9.2, 95%CI: 5.1-16.8), CIN (HR 2.4, 95%CI: 1.3-4.6), CHF (HR 2.1, 95%CI: 1.0-4.2), CAD (HR 2.2, 95%CI: 1.0-5.5) and age ≥70 years (HR 1.8, 95%CI: 1.0-3.8) were significant predictors of all-cause mortality. Among patients without active malignancies, the mortality rate was 4% (25/580, 95%CI: 3-6%) and CIN (HR 4.0, 95%CI: 1.7-9.6) and age ≥70 years (HR 3.7, 95%CI: 1.4-9.7) were significantly associated with death, whereas CAD (HR 2.5, 95%CI: 0.8-7.7) and CHF (HR 1.8, 95%CI: 0.6-5.3) were not. Conclusions: The development of CIN following CECT is associated with an increased likelihood of death at 1 year among patients with and without active malignancies, comparable to CAD, CHF and advanced age.
