Association of Height with Mortality in Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Body mass index (BMI), determined as kilograms in body weight divided by the square of the height in meters (m(2)), is inversely associated with mortality in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). It is commonly inferred that differences in the weight component of the BMI equation are responsible for this negative correlation. However, there are almost no ...
متن کاملHemodialysis vascular access infection and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
UNLABELLED Infectious complications associated with vascular access are a well known cause of increased morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of hemodialysis vascular access infections and patients survival in the group of maintenance hemodialysis patients during a one year observation period. The study group consisted of 213 patien...
متن کاملNocturnal hypoxemia and periodic limb movement predict mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Sleep disorders, including sleep-disordered breathing and periodic limb movements during sleep, are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading causes of death in patients with ESRD. This study investigated the association between sleep disorders and mortality in patients with ESRD. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENT...
متن کاملHemoglobin variability does not predict mortality in European hemodialysis patients.
Patients with CKD exhibit significant within-patient hemoglobin (Hb) level variability, especially with the use of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) and iron. Analyses of dialysis cohorts in the United States produced conflicting results regarding the association of Hb variability with patient outcomes. Here, we determined Hb variability in 5037 European hemodialysis (HD) patients treate...
متن کاملResidual urine output and postoperative mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND The relationship between residual urine output and postoperative survival in maintenance hemodialysis patients is unknown. OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between amount of urine before surgery and postoperative mortality and differences between postoperative nonanuria and anuria in maintenance hemodialysis patients. METHODS A total of 109 maintenance hemodialysis patients ...
