In ANCOVA, endpoint systolic BP as a dependent variable, treatment groups as an independent variable and including mentioned variables correlated in the range of <0.5 covariates found that only being in omega-3 group (B = −17.516, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −26.786–−8.247, P < 0.0001) and baseline systolic BP (B = 0.334, 95% CI: 0.090–0.577, P = 0.008) had significant effect and use of at least one daily dialysis exchange with higher glucose concentration (2.25 and 3.75%) (B = 8.429, 95|% CI: −1.033–17.892, P = 0.08) had trend toward significance on final systolic BP.
