Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting All-Cause Mortality in Patients with Hemodialysis Having Pulmonary Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with end-stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis (HD) have a high morbidity and mortality rate associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH). A nomogram was developed to predict all-cause mortality in HD patients with PH. In this study, we aimed to validate the usefulness of this nomogram.

Methods

A total of 274 HD patients with PH were hospitalized at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between January 2014 and June 2019 and followed up for 3 years. Echocardiography detected PH when the peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) was more than 2.8 m/s. To evaluate the all-cause mortality for long-term HD patients with PH, Cox regression analysis was performed to determine the factors of mortality that were included in the prediction m
