CI: confidence interval.

Variables in logistic regression models:

Clinical data: age, gender, dialysis vintage, history of intradialytic hypotension, history of hypertension, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, hyperlipidemia, anti- hypertensive medication, pre-dialysis SBP and IBI.

Laboratory data: pre-dialysis creatinine, calcium, phosphate, potassium, albumin, hemoglobin and PTH concentrations and CRP levels.

CDM measurements: pre-dialysis LF IBI, HF IBI, LF SBP, HF SBP, LF BRS and HF BRS.
