Abstract

Introduction. The United States Renal Data System noted in 2020, prevalence of chronic kidney disease among the geriatric population reached approximately 63.2% in individuals aged 65-74 years and 77.9% in individuals aged ≥75 years. The Indonesian Renal Registry noted in 2018, 14.4% of geriatric patients were still actively undergoing regular hemodialysis in hospitals until December 2018. This prevalence tends to increase every year. Objective. To determine the factors that influence survival of geriatric patients undergoing regular hemodialysis at Prof. Dr. Chairuddin P. Lubis USU Hospital in 2022. Methods. This is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design using secondary data taken from medical records. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately. Results. There were 37 samples. Most of the samples were male (51.4%) with an age range of 60-74 years (83.8%), hemodialysis duration of 12-24 months (43.2%), had comorbidities of hypertension (62.2%), and hemoglobin levels <10gr/dl (70.3%). The 75-month survival rate of the sample was 20%. Conclusion. Factors that have a significant effect on patient survival are the length of hemodialysis, with the results of patients who have undergone hemodialysis for >36 months having greater survival (p = <0.001).
