Risk factors for in-Hospital mortality in patients starting hemodialysis

Conclusions Incident hemodialysis patients had high in-hospital mortality. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, infections such as pneumonia, and the use of inotropes and ventilators were strong risk factors for in-hospital mortality. However, elective hemodialysis for chronic kidney disease was associated with survival.
