Overview

Randomized trial identifies diabetes and elevated red blood cell count as key risk factors for CAC in hemodialysis patients, indicating potential for targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • The study aims to identify risk factors for coronary artery calcification (CAC) in patients receiving hemodialysis.
  • Enrolled 71 patients undergoing hemodialysis from January to September 2022.
  • Collected clinical and laboratory data, and calculated CAC scores.
  • Performed logistic regression analysis to ascertain predictors of CAC.
  • CAC was found in 41 out of 71 patients (57.75%).
  • Diabetes was associated with an odds ratio of 1.82 (95% CI 1.37–28.11; p = 0.02).
  • Elevated red blood cell count predicted CAC with an odds ratio of 2.99 (95% CI 1.05–5.02; p = 0.04).
