Comprehensive Summary

In this study, Wang et al. tests two clinical prediction frameworks to develop an early alert system for intradialytic hypertension (IDH). Models were developed using the following machine learning algorithms; Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM), Support Vector machine (SVM), and TabNet. The first framework (IDH-1) estimates hypertension risk by analyzing pre-dialysis vital signs and longitudinal treatment patterns, while the second framework (IDH-2) predicts future risk by analyzing real-time dialysis parameters with historical biomarkers. Model performance was validated using AUC-ROC, sensitivity, accuracy, and F1 score. After using 185,125 hemodialysis (HD) sessions as training data and 71,427 sessions as testing data, the LGBM model for both frameworks achieved the highest performance. For IDH-1, the LGBM model had superior discriminative capacity (AUC: 0.87; recall: 0.73; F1 score: 0.36) and had significant parameters of pre-dialysis diastolic pressures, historical mean arterial pressure, and historical average IDH episodes. For the IDH-2 model, an AUC of 0.74 was achieved with the most important parameters being historical average IDH episodes and post-dialysis systolic pressures. Notably, this study does include some limitations for its retrospective multicenter approach such as, reliance on data from Asian populations in the dataset used.

Outcomes and Implications

Chronic kidney disease is a global public health issue that results in numerous deaths and an increasing prevalence each year. This disease often progresses to the point of patients requiring renal replacement therapies such as hemodialysis. Intradialytic hypertension is a common complication observed during dialysis and if identified earlier, can help improve the long-term outcomes of patients.
