| Popis: | Background: The number of geriatric patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis has increased in Taiwan. However, protein-energy wasting is prevalent and associated with poor outcome in this patient population. It is generally well-known that geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a good survival predictor in general elderly patients. However, the association of GNRI with mortality in geriatric end-stage renal disease patients remains unclear. The present study aimed to assess the predictive ability of GNRI for overall mortality in elderly hemodialysis patients. Methods: GNRI was measured in a cohort of 104 hemodialysis patients aged ≥65 years. Thereafter, these patients were followed for a median period of 38.5 months. For all cases, all-cause mortality was the primary endpoint. Results: Patients with baseline GNRI |
