Objective: The mortality rate of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) remains high. The C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index is a novel biomarker that reflects inflammation, nutritional and immune status, all merged into one single derived parameter. No study has yet linked the CALLY index to survival in hemodialysis. This study aims to explore the correlation between the CALLY index and mortality in MHD patients, and develop and validate a nomogram to estimate the likelihood of death in this population.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study collected data from 436 patients and they were divided into survival group ( = 335) and non-survival group ( = 101). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen factors associated with death, and nomograms were developed to estimate the risk of death in MHD patients. The discrimination and calibration of nomograms were validated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and calibration curve. In the study, stratification analysis and covariate adjustment were conducted to explore the correlation between the CALLY index and the mortality of MHD patients.
Results: In the final model, logistic regression showed that the CALLY index, creatinine, triglycerides, dialysis duration, absolute neutrophil count, blood urea nitrogen, sodium and ferritin were variables associated with mortality in MHD patients. A nomogram was developed to assess the risk of death in MHD patients. The AUC of the model was 0.821 (95% CI: 0.778-0.861). The results of stratified analysis and calibration model showed that the CALLY index was a protective factor for maintaining the mortality of MHD patients.
Conclusions: The CALLY index is closely related to the mortality of MHD patients. A nomogram constructed based on CALLY index can effectively evaluate the mortality risk of MHD patients.

Although MHD can prolong the survival of patients, their quality of life is lower and the fatality rate is higher. This work analyzed the factors related to the autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF)-like expansion of non-diabetic MHD patients by vascular ultrasound (VUS).

This study aimed to use LV-PSL for early identification of changes in LV structure and MW in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods： Seventy-two patients with ESRD were divided into two groups based on undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), namely the dialysis group (ESRD-D group) and non-dialysis group (ESRD-ND group).
