Association between Multidimensional Prognostic Index and Hospitalization and Mortality among Older Adults with Chronic Kidney Disease on Conservative or on Replacement Therapy
The prevalence of renal disease is constantly increasing in older adults and a prognostic evaluation by a valid tool may play a key role in treatment management. We aimed to assess the association(s) between the multidimensional prognostic index (MPI) and both the hospitalization and mortality among older adults with renal disease. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (stage 3-5 KDOQI) and on dialysis were considered. Clinical parameters were registered at baseline and after 2 years.
