Title: Hospital Mortality Related to Chronic Renal Failure Chu-National Reference

Abstract

Introduction:  Chronic renal failure is a public health problem worldwide because of its high mortality rate and the cost of its management. Our study aims to determine the mortality factors related to CKD at the University Hospital of the National Reference of N’Djamena (Chad). 

Patients and methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study over a period of three (3) years from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. The study focused on the records of patients hospitalized and whose death was related to chronic renal failure at the CHU-RN of N'Djamena. 

Results: The mortality rate related to CKD was 10.52%. The mean age was 48 ± 16.3 years with a sex ratio of 1.2. The main causative nephropathies were hypertension and diabetes. 83,8 % were in the terminal stage of CKD. Hemodialysis was performed in 17 patients (21.3%). The average length of hospitalization of our patients was 20.1± 16.9 days. Hemodynamic PAO was the main cause of death. One third of the deaths occurred between 00:00 and 5:59 with a frequency of 30%. Deaths occurring between 12:00 and 17:59 minutes represented 21%. 

Conclusion: In developing countries, CKD is diagnosed in the end stage as indicated by our study (83%). Hemodialysis remains the best treatment to reduce the mortality rate.
