Key result
Hemodialysis was associated with a higher prevalence of peripheral artery occlusive disease (ABI <0.9) compared to CKD stage 3-5 (15.6% vs. 8.3%, p=0.030), while arterial stiffness was comparable.
Why the study?
Is there a difference in ankle-brachial index and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity between patients on hemodialysis and those with CKD stage 3-5?
Population
394 patients, comprising 169 with chronic kidney disease stage 3-5 and 225 on hemodialysis, from one…

Absolute Event Rate: 15.6% vs 8.3%
p-value: p=0.030
Peripheral artery occlusive disease (indicated by ABI <0.9) is more prevalent in hemodialysis patients than in those with CKD stage 3-5, whereas arterial stiffness is comparable.
Chen et al. (2008) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic kidney disease and hemodialysis (n=394). Hemodialysis vs. CKD stage 3-5 was evaluated on Prevalence of ankle-brachial index (ABI) <0.9 (p=0.030). Hemodialysis was associated with a higher prevalence of peripheral artery occlusive disease (ABI <0.9) compared to CKD stage 3-5 (15.6% vs. 8.3%, p=0.030), while arterial stiffness was comparable.
