Comorbidity and Malnutrition as Key Determinants of Mortality in Elderly Haemodialysis Patients: A One‐Year Observational Study
The Charlson, Barthel, MIS and FRIED scales are useful tools for predicting mortality in elderly haemodialysis patients, with defined cutoff points for increased mortality risk. We have defined specific cutoff points that determine increased mortality risk in this population. However, comorbidity and malnutrition showed the strongest independent predictive value. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address malnutrition and comorbidity in this vulnerable population.
