Key result
Older age, lack of glomerulonephritis, high phosphorus levels (OR 5.0; 95% CI 2.45-10.0), use of nitrates, and lack of calcium channel blockers independently predicted frequent dialysis hypotension.

What are the clinical and dialysis-related predictors of frequent versus occasional hemodialysis-associated hypotension?
Odds Ratio: 5 (95% CI 2.45–10)
Older age, high phosphorus levels, use of nitrates, and lack of calcium channel blockers are independent predictors of frequent hemodialysis-associated hypotension.
Tislér et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Dialysis hypotension (n=958). High serum phosphorus levels (and other patient characteristics) vs. Lower serum phosphorus levels was evaluated on Frequent dialysis hypotension (fDH) (OR 5.0, 95% CI 2.45-10.0). Older age, lack of glomerulonephritis, high phosphorus levels (OR 5.0; 95% CI 2.45-10.0), use of nitrates, and lack of calcium channel blockers independently predicted frequent dialysis hypotension.
