This study examined survival as a function of pre and
postdialysis blood pressure in the large Dialysis Clinics, Inc.
(DCI) database. Only patients older than 45 were included.
Survival analysis found that postdialysis diastolic BP was indeed
associated with an elevated mortality risk. However, systolic BP
up to 180+ was not associated with increased risk. Low systolic
(less than 110) and diastolic (less than 80) BPs were also
associated with increased mortality risk.
