Interdialytic home systolic blood pressure variability increases all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between Interdialytic home blood pressure variability (BPV) and the prognosis of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) largely unknown.

Hypothesis

We proposed the hypothesis that interdialytic home BPV exert effect on cardiac and all-cause mortality among individuals undergoing MHD.

Methods

A total of 158 patients receiving MHD at the hemodialysis unit of Wuhan Fourth Hospital between December 2019 and August 2020 were included in this prospective cohort study. Patients were divided into tertiles according to the systolic BPV (SBPV), and the primary endpoints were cardiac and all-cause death. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess the relationship between long-term survival and interdialytic home SBPV. In addition, Cox proport
