BACKGROUND
Potential impairment of exercise capacity is prevalent even in patients undergoing hemodialysis without frailty. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can detect physiological reserves such as cardiopulmonary, muscle, and autonomic function. We hypothesized that these indices could accurately determine the prognosis of patients on hemodialysis and analyzed them based on their relationship to frailty.
METHODS
In this two-center prospective cohort study hemodialysis patients from Japan, participants underwent CPET and physical assessment to evaluate peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2, indicator of exercise capacity), peak work rate (WR, indicator of muscle function), ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide (VE/VCO2) slope (indicator of cardiac reserve), heart rate reserve (indicator of chronotropic incompetence), and frailty phenotype. Survival was followed-up for up to 5 years.
RESULTS
Data from 189 patients (median [IQR] age: 71 [62, 77] years) were analyzed. All CPET indicators showed a consistent nonlinear relationship with all-cause mortality after adjustment: for peak VO2, hazard ratio [HR] 0.79 [95% CI: 0.71, 0.88], P <0.001; for peak WR, HR 0.95 [95% CI: 0.93, 0.97], P <0.001; for VE/VCO2 slope, HR 1.09 [95% CI: 1.05, 1.13], P <0.001; for heart rate reserve, HR 0.96 [95% CI: 0.93, 0.99], P=0.02). Frailty phenotype was associated with mortality after adjustment (HR 1.73 [95% CI: 1.06, 2.81], P=0.03); however, this association was not statistically significant in the model after adding peak VO2 (P=0.41). Furthermore, in both subgroups with and without frailty, CPET measures were significantly associated with mortality risk (peak VO2, peak WR, and VE/VCO2 slope: P <0.05). The peak VO2 (Δ area under the curve [AUC] 0.09, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.16) or the peak WR (ΔAUC 0.09, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.15) most significantly improved the prognostic accuracy.
CONCLUSIONS
Results showed the fragile aspect of the frailty phenotype in the hemodialysis population and the superior ability of CPET to indicate death risk complementing that aspect.
