Abstract

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) was not a significant, independent risk factor for the four major outcomes studied among veterans with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).ADPKD did not significantly increase the risk for newly starting dialysis (after controlling for CKD) among veterans positive for COVID-19.The established risk factors for severe COVID-19 illness had significant effects in this cohort (e.g., type 2 diabetes and Black race).

Keywords: COVID-19; ICU admission; SARS-CoV-2; chronic kidney disease; coronavirus disease 2019; cystic kidney disease; hospital admission; kidney failure; mortality; polycystic kidney disease; ventilator; veterans.
