Abstract
Background: Malnutrition is a strong predictor of prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients (MHD). We previously proposed a new and simple protein-energy wasting (PEW) score that appears to be useful for assessing the risk of mortality in patients on MHD. Objectives: In the present study, we evaluated the reliability of this PEW score as a predictor of hospitalization in Japanese patients on MHD. Methods: In this single-center, prospective...
