The combination of malnutrition-inflammation and functional status limitations is associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients
Abstract
The identification of malnutrition-inflammation-complex (MIC) and functional status (FS) is key to improving patient experience on hemodialysis (HD). We investigate the association of MIC and FS combinations with mortality in HD patients. We analyzed data from 5630 HD patients from 9 countries in DOPPS phases 4–5 (2009–2015) with a median follow-up of 23 [IQR 11, 31] months. MIC was defined as serum albumin < 3.8 g/dL and serum C-reactive...
