Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the adapted Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria to diagnose both overnutrition and undernutrition in hemodialysis patients, comparing it with the subjective global assessment (SGA).
- A total of 116 adult participants were surveyed in Cape Town, revealing that 20% were classified as obese, and only 4% as undernourished based on BMI, showing the complexities in diagnosing malnutrition in this population.
- The adapted GLIM criteria demonstrated good diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for undernutrition, while highlighting a notable number of patients classified as overnourished, which SGA did not identify.
Objective: The primary objective of this systematic review was to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
Design: Systematic review of primarily observational studies.
Patients: Adult patients from all gender, race, or ethnic groups on maintenance hemodialysis.
The aim of this exhaustive review and meta-analysis was to explore the relation among serum protein, inflammatory markers, and all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities in adult patients on maintenance hemodialysis. We searched the Medline, Science Citation Index, Academic Search Premier, Cochrane Library, and Embase electronic data bases. Data extraction and quality assessment were done independently by two reviewers and results were pooled using the random effects model.
