Article Synopsis
- The study developed a risk prediction model for first-year mortality (FYM) in dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease by analyzing patient data from a single center between 2005-2010.
- A total of 983 patients were analyzed, revealing that FYM was 17%, with significant predictors including low left ventricular ejection fraction, age over 70, specific serum levels, and vascular diseases.
- The risk factors were summarized into an acronym, UREA5, with scores assigned to each factor, showing that higher scores corresponded to increasing FYM percentages post-dialysis.
