METHODS: It was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 100 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on conservative therapy were included. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), and central pulse pressure (cPP) were measured. A score was assigned to tertiles of PWV (0-2), cPP (0-2), and cSBP (0 to the first and second and 1 to the third tertile) based on each parameter's ability to individually predict cardiovascular outcome. The sum of these scores and three ICPS risk categories as predictors were studied. Finally, we compared discrimination of the ICPS risk categories with PWV, cSBP, and cPP. RESULTS: Adjusted for age and sex, patients in high and very high ICPS risk categories had increased cardiovascular risk (HR: 3.52, 95% CI: 1.65-7.49; HR: 7.56, 95% CI: 3.20-17.85, respectively). High and very high ICPS risk categories remained independent predictors in a model adjusted for multiple CV risk factors (HR: 4.58, 95% CI: 1.65-7.49; HR: 8.56, 95% CI: 3.09-23.76, respectively). ICPS risk categories (Harrell's C: 0.723, 95% CI: 0.652-0.795) showed better discrimination than PWV (Harrell's C: 0.659, 95% CI: 0.586-0.732, p = 0.028) and cSBP (Harrell's C: 0.660, 95% CI: 0.584-0.735, p = 0.008) and there has been a tendency of significance in case of cPP (Harrell's C: 0.691, 95% CI: 0.621-0.761, p = 0.170). CONCLUSION: The ICPS score may clinically importantly improve the identification of CKD patients with elevated cardiovascular risk. date: 2018-12 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1556/2060.105.2018.4.29 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1614141 doi: 10.1556/2060.105.2018.4.29 lyricists_name: Tabak, Adam Gyula lyricists_id: AGTAB08 actors_name: Tabak, Adam Gyula actors_id: AGTAB08 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Physiology International volume: 105 number: 4 pagerange: 335-346 event_location: Hungary issn: 2498-602X citation: Nemcsik, J; Tabák, Á; Batta, D; Cseprekál, O; Egresits, J; Tislér, A; (2018) Integrated central blood pressure-aortic stiffness risk score for cardiovascular risk stratification in chronic kidney disease.
