Key result
Aortic calcification index and ankle-arm blood pressure index differed significantly between survivors and non-survivors among 84 hemodialysis patients, of whom 41 had new thrombotic events.
Why the study?
Do aortic calcification index and ankle-arm blood pressure index predict the occurrence of thrombosis and mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis?
Population
84 patients receiving hemodialysis (HD), including 36 with previous thrombotic events and 48 without.

Do aortic calcification index and ankle-arm blood pressure index predict the occurrence of thrombosis and mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis?
Aortic calcification index and ankle-arm blood pressure index have prognostic value for predicting thrombotic events and mortality in hemodialysis patients.
Kushiya et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Hemodialysis (n=84). Aortic calcification index (ACI) and ankle-arm blood pressure index (API) was evaluated on New thrombotic events and death due to thrombotic disorders. Aortic calcification index and ankle-arm blood pressure index differed significantly between survivors and non-survivors among 84 hemodialysis patients, of whom 41 had new thrombotic events.
