Arrhythmia and Time of Day in Maintenance Hemodialysis: Secondary Analysis of the Monitoring in Dialysis Study.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

The incidence of arrhythmia varies by time of day. How this affects individuals on maintenance dialysis is uncertain. Our objective was to quantify the relationship of arrhythmia with the time of day and timing of dialysis.

Study design

Secondary analysis of the Monitoring in Dialysis study, a multicenter prospective cohort study.

Settings & participants

Loop recorders were implanted for continuous cardiac monitoring in 66 participants on maintenance dialysis with a follow up of 6 months.

Exposure

Time of day based on 6-hour intervals.

Outcomes

Event rates of clinically significant arrhythmia.

Analytical approach

Negative binomial mixed effects regression models for repeated measures were used to evaluate data from the Monito
