Change of prognostic nutritional index after three months of initial hemodialysis is a predictor of long-term outcomes for patients with uremia

Preprint C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study followed people starting dialysis and tracked a nutrition and immune score called the prognostic nutritional index. How the score changed over the first three months was linked to how patients did in the long run. Because it only tracks and compares, it shows a link, not proof that better nutrition changes the outcome. It is a preprint, not yet peer reviewed.
