Objective  To investigate the risk factors for hypotension in liver failure patients during double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) treatment, providing a theoretical basis for targeted clinical prevention and intervention. Methods  Liver failure patients undergoing DPMAS at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between March 2021 and March 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. General data and clinical indicators were compared between the hypotension group and non-hypotension group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for hypotension. Results  Of the 403 included patients, 60 (14.89%) developed hypotension, while 343 (85.11%) did not. Univariate analyses showed statistically significant differences between groups in age, sex, body mass index (BMI), albumin, serum sodium, pre-treatment systolic blood pressure, pre-treatment diastolic blood pressure, pre-treatment mean arterial pressure, and intraoperative vasoactive drug use (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that low BMI [odds ratio (OR)=0.712, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.587, 0.863)], low serum sodium [OR=0.715, 95%CI (0.646, 0.792)], and intraoperative vasoactive drug use [OR=11.382, 95%CI (4.438, 29.194)] were independent risk factors for hypotension (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis combining these three factors yielded an area under the curve of 0.922 [95%CI (0.886, 0.957)] for predicting hypotension incidence. Conclusions  Low serum sodium, intraoperative vasoactive drug use, and low BMI are significant risk factors for hypotension during DPMAS therapy. Clinical emphasis should be placed on anticipating and mitigating hypotension to ensure uninterrupted treatment, reduce economic burdens, and improve patient prognosis.
