Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most frequent cause of death in patients on maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD). This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with cardiac complications and establish a multivariate logistic regression model for cardiac complications in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring PD.Methods: This retrospective study included 232 patients undergoing PD. Data of sociodemographic information, comorbidities, medication history, laboratory examination, and medical history were extracted from the medical records of patients with ESRD who underwent maintenance PD between January 2015 and June 2020. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent risk factors.
Results:The mean age of the study participants was 51.29±13.17 years, with female: male ratio of 87:145.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that lactate dehydrogenase (odds ratio, 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
