Background: The prognostic significance of beta(β)-blocker therapy in patients at end-stage renal disease, specifically those receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) and presenting with heart failure, remains inadequately elucidated due to limited research conducted thus far.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on a cohort comprising 608 patients receiving PD between September 2007 and March 2019, with a subsequent follow-up period extending until December 2020. Cox regression and propensity score matching weighted analysis was used to model adjusted hazard ratios for β-blocker use with heart failure-related mortality. Competing risk analysis and subgroup analysis were carried out to further elucidate the correlation.

Results: β-blockers were prescribed for 56.1% of the peritoneal dialysis patients. Heart failure occurred in 43.4% of the total population and 15.5% of deaths were due to heart failure. The prescription of β-blockers was associated with a 43% lower adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for heart failure death within the cohort (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.36-0.89; P = 0.013). Even after accounting for competing risk events, patients in the group using β-blockers demonstrated a significantly lower cumulative risk of heart failure-related mortality compared to those not using β-blockers (P = 0.007). This protective effect of β-blockers was also observed in subgroup analyses. Conversely, β-blocker use had no statistically significant associations with all-cause mortality.

Conclusion: The use of β-blockers was associated with a reduced risk of heart failure-related mortality in the PD population. Future randomized clinical trials are warranted to confirm the beneficial effect of β-blockers in the context of PD.
