Multi-Center, Retrospective Study Evaluates Use of Ultrafiltration Therapy with Aquadex FlexFlow® System in Pediatric Patients
The study, titled “Kidney Support in Children Using an Ultrafiltration Device,” included 117 patients in three weight categories: <10 kgs; 10-20 kgs; and >20 kgs, suffering from volume overload, acute kidney injury or end-stage kidney disease. All patients across the three weight categories were treated with the Aquadex FlexFlow system, using one of the following three modalities: slow continuous ultrafiltration (SCUF); continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH); or prolonged intermittent kidney replacement therapy, based on patient condition.
The primary outcome was survival to the end of therapy. In patients weighing over 20 kgs (n=32), 97% survived to the end of therapy. In patients weighing between 10-20 kgs (n=13), 100% survived to the end of therapy. In patients weighing under 10 kgs (n=72), 60% survived to the end of therapy.
“We report the first multi-center experience in pediatrics in which we use an ultrafiltration device to provide kidney support therapy in younger patients," said
As previously announced, the company will be hosting a conference call and webcast with investigators from the study tomorrow,
