Key result
Frequent intradialytic hypotension was associated with higher unadjusted mortality (58% vs 39%; P=0.013), but this association was not significant after adjusting for covariates.
Why the study?
Does frequent or occasional intradialytic hypotension independently affect survival in patients on maintenance hemodialysis?
Population
263 patients on maintenance hemodialysis (selected from a network of 958 patients)

Intradialytic hypotension is not independently linked to mortality after adjustment; leaves open its role as a risk marker in hemodialysis.

Frequent intradialytic hypotension is associated with higher unadjusted mortality in hemodialysis patients, but this effect is not independent of underlying comorbidities and other covariates.
Tislér et al. (2003) conducted a cohort in Maintenance haemodialysis (n=263). Frequent intradialytic hypotension vs. No intradialytic hypotension was evaluated on Survival (p=0.013). Frequent intradialytic hypotension was associated with higher unadjusted mortality (58% vs 39%; P=0.013), but this association was not significant after adjusting for covariates.
