Abstract:Objective To analyze the risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) during dialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and its impact on short-term prognosis.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 150 ESRD patients undergoing maintenance dialysis at Lishui Second People's Hospital and Lishui Central Hospital from January 2023 to January 2026. Patients were divided into an ICH group (n = 41) and a non-ICH group (n = 109) based on whether ICH occurred during dialysis. Clinical data were compared between the two groups. Indicators with statistical significance were included in a multivariable logistic regression analysis to screen for independent risk factors. The predictive efficacy was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Patients were followed up for 3 months to record their prognoses.Results Compared with the non-ICH group, the ICH group had a significantly higher proportion of diabetes mellitus, higher mean systolic blood pressure, higher serum sodium levels, longer dialysis duration, and lower serum albumin and hemoglobin levels (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that dialysis duration [O^R = 1.207 (95% CI: 1.093, 1.333) ] and serum sodium level [O^R = 1.714 (95% CI: 1.303, 2.256) ] were independent risk factors for ICH during dialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease, whereas serum albumin level [O^R = 0.629 (95% CI: 0.495, 0.800) ] and hemoglobin level [O^R = 0.759 (95% CI: 0.660, 0.874) ] were protective factors. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combination of serum sodium level, dialysis duration, serum albumin level, and hemoglobin level for predicting ICH during dialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease yielded a sensitivity of 92.7% (95% CI: 0.801, 0.985), a specificity of 84.4% (95% CI: 0.762, 0.906), and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.951 (95% CI: 0.920, 0.983).Conclusion Hypernatremia and prolonged dialysis duration are independent risk factors for ICH in ESRD patients, whereas high serum albumin and hemoglobin levels are protective factors. The combination of these indicators exhibits high predictive efficacy for ICH risk. Once ICH occurs, the short-term prognosis is poor; therefore, targeted interventions should be strengthened to improve patient outcomes.
