The electronic frailty index indicates mortality risk in end stage kidney disease patients on haemodialysis: retrospective survival analyses using linked data from two sources
This represents the first study of eFI utility within tertiary renal care, demonstrating a strong association between frailty measured by eFI and survival time for patients on dialysis. However, significant differences between primary care-derived and UK Renal Registry-derived survival at different frailty scores were demonstrated. These differences indicate a need for greater understanding and analysis of large datasets before using them to discuss patient treatment choices, service planning and delivery.
