Association (odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals) of proportion of intradialytic hypotension (defined as Nadir90) with hospitalized mesenteric ischemia. To examine a potential dose-response association of intradialytic hypotension with hospitalized mesenteric ischemia, we categorized patients by the proportion of hemodialysis sessions having intradialytic hypotension, defined using the Nadir90 definition and found a direct association of proportion of intradialytic hypotension with hospitalized mesenteric ischemia (P-trend<0.001). Adjusted indicates adjusted for cause of ESKD, number of non-nephrology outpatient visits, hospital days, any nursing home stay, on the kidney transplant waiting list, all comorbidities, mean ultrafiltration rate, and central venous catheter use. 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; HD, hemodialysis; Nadir90, nadir intradialytic SBP <90 mm Hg.
