Performance of the SARC-F (Strength, Assistance Walking, Rise From a Chair, Climb Stairs, and Falls) Questionnaire for Sarcopenia Screening in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease on Hemodialysis
SARC-F showed poor diagnostic performance in HD patients. Its high specificity and negative predictive value suggest utility to rule out sarcopenia; combining SARC-F with objective measures of muscle mass and performance is recommended for more accurate screening.
