Article Synopsis
- - The study assesses the link between extreme heat events and the risk of death among patients on maintenance dialysis in the US, revealing that these patients may be particularly vulnerable to high temperatures.
- - Using data from the US Renal Data System, researchers analyzed 945,251 dialysis patients in urban areas from 1997 to 2016, finding a significant increase in mortality risk during humid-heat events, particularly in the Southeast region.
- - While the study indicates heightened mortality risk associated with extreme heat, it acknowledges limitations such as potential misclassification of exposure and not factoring in other environmental stresses like air pollution.
