Diastolic Blood Pressure Variability Predicts Cardiovascular Outcomes in CKD, Especially in Advanced Stages.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular events. However, the role of diastolic blood pressure variability (DBPV) in predicting these outcomes, particularly in comparison to systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV), remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of DBPV in patients with CKD.

Study design

A retrospective cohort study was conducted.

Setting & participants

A total of 1,245 adults diagnosed with CKD (stages G3a, G3b, and G4-5) from the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from 2019 to 2023 were included in the study.

Exposures

DBPV parameters, including 24-hour DBP standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation, and nocturnal decline rate, were measur
