Intradialytic Hypotension and Mortality in Adolescents and Young Adults With Kidney Failure Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is associated with mortality in adults with kidney failure requiring hemodialysis (HD); however, large-scale pediatric studies are lacking. Moreover, there is no evidence-based consensus definition of IDH in pediatric literature. We aimed to examine the association of commonly used definitions of IDH with mortality in adolescents and young adults.

Study design

This was a retrospective observational cohort study.

Setting & participants

In total, 1,199 adolescents and young adults (N = 320, aged 10-18 years and N = 879, aged 19-21 years) who initiated HD in a large dialysis organization were included.

Exposures

This study used different definitions of IDH.

Outcome

The study outcome was 2-year all-cause
