Diabetes mellitus degenerates cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in short hydration method: a propensity score-matching analysis

Abstract

AbstractCisplatin (CDDP)-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) is dose-limiting. We revealed that co-administration of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and baseline comorbidity of diabetes mellitus (DM) are associated with CIN development in the short hydration method; however, the results were accessorily obtained without appropriate power calculation. This study aimed to demonstrate the influence of DM complications on CIN incidence in a real-world setting. Lung cancer patients receiving CDDP (≥ 75 mg/m2)-containing regimens with a short hydration method (n = 227) were retrospectively evaluated. The patients were divided into control and baseline DM complication groups. The primary endpoint was the evaluation of CIN incidence between the groups. Propensity score-matching was performed to confirm the robustness of the primary analysis results. CIN occurred in 6.8% of control and 27.0% of DM patients, respectively, with a significant difference in all-patient populations (P = 0.001). In addition, variation of serum creatinine and creatinine clearance significantly worsened in DM patients. Similar results were obtained in a propensity-matched population. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that DM complication is a singular risk factor for CIN development (adjusted odds ratio; 4.31, 95% confidence interval; 1.62–11.50, P = 0.003). In conclusion, our study revealed that baseline DM complications significantly worsen CIN.
