Enhanced prognostic value of a composite nutritional-inflammatory index (P-CONUT) for predicting mortality risk in patients initiating peritoneal dialysis

P-CONUT is a strong independent predictor of mortality in PD patients, outperforming both CONUT and PNI in prognostic accuracy. The composite P-CONUT score, integrating both nutritional and inflammatory status, provides superior predictive value, aiding in more precise risk stratification. This score, coupled with other significant prognostic factors, offers a reliable tool for improving the long-term management and clinical decision-making for PD patients.
