For patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), due to the heterogeneity of the population, appropriate risk assessment approaches and strategies for further follow-up remain scarce. We aimed to conduct a pilot study for better risk stratification, applying machine learning-based classification to patients with ESRD who newly started maintenance hemodialysis.We prospectively studied 101 patients with ESRD, who were new to maintenance...
