A Comparative Analysis of Nutritional Assessment Using Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition Versus Subjective Global Assessment and Malnutrition Inflammation Score in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the performance of the recently developed GLIM (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition) in MHD by assessing the agreement, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and survival prediction of GLIM when compared to 7-point subjective global assessment (7p-SGA) and malnutrition inflammation score (MIS).

Combined Contribution of Reduced Functional Mobility, Muscle Weakness, and Low Serum Albumin in Prediction of All-Cause Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study

TL;DR: The results presented here indicated that the combination of reduced functional mobility, muscle weakness, and low serum albumin is useful for accurate prediction of prognosis in hemodialysis patients.

Malnutrition and Sarcopenia Combined Increases the Risk for Mortality in Older Adults on Hemodialysis

TL;DR: In this article, the role of sarcopenia and malnutrition combined on the nutritional markers, quality of life, and survival in a cohort of older adults on chronic hemodialysis was evaluated.

Geriatric nutritional risk index is associated with mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.

TL;DR: The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is rarely used in dialysis patients, especially peritoneal dialysis (PD), and is likely to underestimate the risk of malnutrition in older patients.
