Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Comparison of three nutritional screening tools for predicting mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of different nutritional screening tools on predicting the risk for mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). ⋯ Each of the three nutritional screening tools was significantly associated with an increased risk for all-cause and CV mortality. The mortality predictability of the MIS was similar to the GNRI and greater than the OSND.
