Popis: Objective We analyzed adverse events retrospectively during a three-year follow-up of patients undergoing hemodialysis at the dialysis center of our general hospital that can treat comprehensive diseases and conducted an exploratory study focusing on the risk factors that determine the prognosis of hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 132 hemodialysis patients at our dialysis center as of June 2017 were included in the study. Data on event incidence, including death and various clinical indicators, were collected in the electronic medical record for three years until June 2020. Results Between June 2017 and June 2020, 33 of the 132 patients died. The mortality group had a lower body mass index (BMI) and a longer duration of hemodialysis already carried out with more preexisting upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, infections, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and malignancy than the survival group. Furthermore, the mortality group took more warfarin, aspirin, proton pump inhibitors and less H
