This study aimed to determine the prevalence, correlates, and prognosis of kidney dysfunction in patients with HF in Cameroon, an understudied population.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We conducted a cross-sectional study in consecutive patients hospitalized with HF between June 2016 and November 2017 in the Buea Regional Hospital, Cameroon. Kidney dysfunction was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate\u2009&lt;\u200960\u2009ml\/min\/1.73m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>. Prognostic outcomes included death and prolonged hospital stay (&gt;\u20097\u2009days).

Their median age was 60 (interquartile range: 44\u201372) years and 46.0% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200934) were males. Half of patients (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200937) had kidney dysfunction. Correlates of kidney dysfunction included previous diagnosis of HF (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]4.3, 95% CI: 1.1\u201317.5) and left ventricular hypertrophy (aOR3.4, 95% CI: 1.1\u20139.9). Thirty-six (48.9%) had prolonged hospital stay, and seven (9.5%) patients died in hospital. Kidney dysfunction was not associated with in-hospital death (aOR 0.4, 95% CI: 0.1\u20132) nor prolonged hospital stay (aOR 2.04, 0.8\u20135.3). In sensitivity analysis (excluding racial consideration), factors associated with Kidney dysfunction in HF were; anemia (aOR: 3.0, 95% CI: 1.1\u20138.5), chronic heart failure (aOR: 4.7, 95% CI: 0.9\u201324.6), heart rate on admission &lt;\u200990\u2009bpm (aOR: 3.4, 95% CI: 1.1\u20139.1), left atrial dilation (aOR: 3.2, 95% CI: 1.04\u201310), and hypertensive heart disease (aOR: 3.1, 95% CI: 1.2\u20138.4). Kidney dysfunction in HF was associated with hospital stay &gt;\u20097\u2009days (OR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1\u20136.8).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Moderate-to-severe kidney dysfunction was seen in half of the patients hospitalized with HF in our setting, and this was associated with a previous diagnosis of HF and left ventricular hypertrophy. Kidney dysfunction might not be the main driver of poor HF outcomes in this population. In sensitivity analysis, this was associated with anemia, chronic heart failure, heart rate on admission less than 90\u2009bpm, left atrial dilatation, and hypertensive heart disease. Kidney dysfunction was associated with hospital stay &gt;\u20097\u2009days.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12882-021-02641-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,3]],"date-time":"2022-01-03T09:05:28Z","timestamp":1641200728000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Prevalence, correlates and in-hospital outcomes of kidney dysfunction in hospitalized patients with heart failure in Buea-Cameroon"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Ahmadou Musa","family":"Jingi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clovis","family":"Nkoke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean Jacques","family":"Noubiap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Denis","family":"Teuwafeu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alex T.","family":"Mambap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cyrille","family":"Nkouonlack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ronald","family":"Gobina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debimeh","family":"Njume","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anastase","family":"Dzudie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gloria","family":"Ashuntantang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2641_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.5334\/gh.403","volume":"15","author":"MF Yuyun","year":"2020","unstructured":"Yuyun MF, Sliwa K, Kengne AP, Mocumbi AO, Bukhman G.
