Longitudinal associations of malnutrition with atherosclerotic events in uremia are unclear. In 50,732 incident Medicare dialysis patients who had normal (18.5 to 24.9 kg/m(2)), low (< 18.5 kg/m(2)), or high (greater than or equal to 25 kg/m(2)) body mass index (BMI) and initiated dialysis in the United States from January 1995 to December 1999 with reported measured creatinine clearances and acute coronary syndrome (ACS; International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes 410. x and 411.x) were examined in parametric survival models. Normal BMI was the referent group. Twenty-four-hour urinary creatinine (UCr) was used as a measure Of Muscle mass. There were 7213 (14.2%) hospitalized ACS events, 1528 (22%) of which were fatal (death within 30 d). One-year post-ACS mortality was 48%. Low BMI [hazard ratio [HR], 0.89; P = 0.02] was associated with lower hazard, and UCr was not predictive (NS) of hospitalized ACS in multivariable model. Low BMI (NS) was not associated with a composite end point of hospitalized ACS/suspected out-of-hospital ACS death, whereas lowest UCr quartile was associated with higher hazard (HR, 1.14; P < 0.001). Low BMI (HR, 1.24; P < 0.001) and decrease in UCr (highest quartile reference, second quartile HR, 1.11 [P < 0.001]; third quartile HR, 1.24 [P < 0.001]; and fourth quartile HR, 1.43 [P < 0.001]) were associated with increased hazard of death. Hospitalized ACS events in dialysis patients carry very high immediate and long-term mortality. Positive longitudinal associations of malnutrition with documented hospitalized ACS events Could not be demonstrated. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to provide definitive evidence of malnutrition as a uremic risk factor for atherosclerosis.
