Key result
Peri-dialysis blood pressure measurement showed significant consistency with 24-hour ABPM in determining hypertension among hemodialysis patients (Kappa 0.525; p=0.001).
Why the study?
Does peri-dialysis blood pressure measurement consistently determine hypertension compared to 24-h ABPM in hemodialysis patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=50)
No
Does peri-dialysis blood pressure measurement consistently determine hypertension compared to 24-h ABPM in hemodialysis patients?
Effect estimate: Kappa 0.525
p-value: p=0.001
While absolute blood pressure values differ between peri-dialysis measurements and 24-h ABPM, the methods show significant consistency in diagnosing hypertension, with suggested pre-dialysis cutoffs of 135/80 mmHg.

Supports peri-dialysis BP screening for hypertension in hemodialysis; leaves open prospective outcome validation before routine adoption.
Abbasi et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Hemodialysis (n=50). Peri-dialysis blood pressure measurement vs. 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was evaluated on Consistency in determining hypertension (Kappa 0.525, p=0.001). Peri-dialysis blood pressure measurement showed significant consistency with 24-hour ABPM in determining hypertension among hemodialysis patients (Kappa 0.525; p=0.001).
