Risk factors for unexpected clinical deterioration in hospitalized patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.
Observational study in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundUnplanned intensive care unit (ICU) transfers owing to clinical deterioration contribute to in-hospital mortality. The risk factors for unplanned ICU transfers among the general population have been investigated, whereas those among patients undergoing hemodialysis remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the risk factors for clinical deterioration in hospitalized patients undergoing hemodialysis.
methodsWe conducted a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study, focusing on hospitalized adult patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis between January 2003 and December 2020. Age, sex, planned or emergency hospitalization type, hemodialysis duration, vital signs, quick sequential organ failure assessment score, serum albumin levels, and comorbid conditions (diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease [CAD], peripheral artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, intradialytic hypotension, and cancer) were considered as predictors. For all predictors, data at admission were used. Outcomes measured included clinical deterioration, unplanned ICU transfers within 72 h to 30 days after admission, and sudden death within 30 days.
resultsAmong the 389 enrolled patients (median age: 73.1 years, 64.3% male), 40 patients experienced clinical deterioration: 37 (9.5%) underwent unplanned ICU transfers, and 3 (0.8%) experienced sudden deaths in general wards. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in the deterioration group than in the non-deterioration group (62.5% vs 5.4%, p < 0.001, respectively). Cox regression analysis identified CAD as an independent risk factor for clinical deterioration (hazard ratio: 2.11; 95% confidence interval: 1.05-4.24).
conclusionsCAD is a risk factor for clinical deterioration in hospitalized patients undergoing hemodialysis.
