Category:TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:Patients who are dialysis-dependent and those who have received kidney transplants may be at increased risk for Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) as a result of compromised kidney function. Our goal was to examine the incidence, risk factors, and type of ATR treatment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).Methods:We studied all Medicare patients with ESRD from 1999 through 2013, as captured by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the United States Renal Data System. Patients were categorized as not waitlisted for a transplant, waitlisted but not yet transplanted, or received a transplant. Patients were migrated to the corresponding groups at the time when they were waitlisted or received a transplant. We performed multivariate negative binomial regression using age, race, sex, body mass index, cause of ESRD, comorbidities, and year of study entry as covariables to estimate the adjusted incidence rate ratios (aIRR) for all groups and to identify risk fa...
