Association Between Chronic Kidney Disease and Rates of Transfusion and Progression to End-Stage Renal Disease in Patients Undergoing Transradial Versus Transfemoral Cardiac Catheterization-An Analysis From the Veterans Affairs Clinical Assessment Reporting and Tracking (CART) Program.

The benefit of transradial access did not vary significantly with degree of CKD, nor was there a significant trend by degree of CKD ( P value for interaction=0.15; P value for trend=0.08), although the HRs were lowest among those with the most‐severe CKD (no CKD: HR=0.89; 95% CI, 0.69–1.15; GFR 45–59 mL/min: HR=1.1; 95% CI, 0.83–1.48; GFR 30–44 mL/min: HR=0.78; 95% CI, 0.58–1.05; GFR 15–29 mL/min: HR=0.69; 95% CI, 0.51–0.94; Figure 3 ).
