Key result
In hemodialysis patients, the highest tertile of corrected P-wave dispersion was associated with increased overall mortality compared to the lowest tertile (HR 2.472; 95% CI 1.181-5.174; P=0.016).
Why the study?
Is corrected P-wave dispersion associated with overall and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients?
Cohort (n=209)
Is corrected P-wave dispersion associated with overall and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients?
Hazard Ratio: 2.472 (95% CI 1.181–5.174)
p-value: p=0.016
Corrected P-wave dispersion is an independent predictor of overall and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients, providing additional prognostic value beyond standard clinical features.

Cautious use only for risk stratification in hemodialysis; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Chen et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Hemodialysis (n=209). Corrected P-wave dispersion (PWdisperC) vs. Lowest tertile of PWdisperC was evaluated on Overall mortality (HR 2.472, 95% CI 1.181-5.174, p=0.016). In hemodialysis patients, the highest tertile of corrected P-wave dispersion was associated with increased overall mortality compared to the lowest tertile (HR 2.472; 95% CI 1.181-5.174; P=0.016).
