Abstract:
We compared the prognostic value of nutritional or volumetric parameters measured by body composition in hospitalized patients on maintenance hemodialysis. We conducted a cohort study to assess the association of different parameters of body composition with all-cause mortality in inpatients admitted to our nephrology department from January 2014 to December 2016. Of the 704 study patients, 160 (22.7%) died during a median follow-up of 33 months. In multivariate adjusted Cox models, higher ratio of extracellular water to body cell mass (ECW/BCM) (adjusted HR per 1-SD, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.19 to 1.85), lower lean tissue index (LTI) (adjusted HR per 1-SD, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.86) and lower body cell mass index (BCMI) (adjusted HR per 1-SD, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.58 to 0.85) were associated with a significantly greater risk of death. When these parameters were added to the fully adjusted model, BCMI performed best in improving the predictability for all-cause mortality (integrated discrimination improvement = 0.02, P = 0.04; net reclassification index = 0.11, P = 0.04). Among body composition indexes, ECW/BCM was the most relevant fluid volume indices to mortality and BCMI and LTI were the most relevant nutritional status indices to mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
