Summary: The study found no significant difference in mortality risk among young patients at different timing of peritoneal dialysis initiation. However, early initiation of peritoneal dialysis was associated with higher risks of overall and cardiovascular mortality among elderly patients.

Summary: The meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of clinical characteristics on mortality risk in peritoneal dialysis patients. Factors such as age, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, alkaline phosphatase, and hemoglobin were found to be associated with mortality risk, while peritonitis, peritoneal transport status, BMI, and inflammatory markers increased the risk of all-cause mortality. Further research is needed to determine the serum levels of magnesium, potassium, and uric acid beneficial for PD patient survival.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients after cardiac surgery, and to evaluate the additional value of GNRI in predicting POD. Results showed that patients with lower GNRI scores had a higher risk of developing POD. The addition of GNRI improved the predictive accuracy in some models.

Summary: This study found that higher baseline serum hepcidin-25 level was associated with an increased risk of all-cause and infection-related mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients, but not with cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: Patients with ESRD are at risk of malnutrition and high mortality. The study found an association between unplanned hemodialysis and low GNRI scores with mortality risk.

Summary: The study evaluated the prognostic value of GNRI in geriatric patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma and found that low GNRI was significantly associated with higher nutritional risks and independent prognostic factors.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between nutritional risk and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in hypertension. The Geriatric Nutrition Risk Index (GNRI) was used to evaluate nutritional status, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and COX proportional risk regression models were conducted. The results showed that hypertensive patients with higher GNRI nutritional risk had higher risks of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. This suggests that GNRI can effectively predict the mortality risk in elderly hypertensive patients.

Summary: In this study, GNRI scores on admission were found to be associated with a 28-day risk of death from sepsis in elderly patients. GNRI scores could serve as a valuable indicator for evaluating mortality rates among elderly septic patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Summary: This study found that the geriatric nutrition risk index (GNRI) was able to predict the clinical outcomes of geriatric patients in the ICU. The results showed that a lower GNRI score was associated with increased hospital mortality.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the use of solid fuels for heating or cooking and all-cause mortality in urban areas of China. The findings showed that using solid fuels increased the risk of all-cause mortality among middle-aged and aging individuals, while switching to clean fuels had a protective effect.

Summary: Lower GNRI independently predicts all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular events in elderly patients with heart failure. Determination of nutritional status using GNRI may improve risk stratification in elderly patients with heart failure.

Summary: According to the 4-step EWGSOP2, the prevalence of confirmed or severe sarcopenia was low in elderly hemodialysis patients, but the diagnosis of confirmed sarcopenia underestimated the prevalence of dynapenia consistent with severe sarcopenia. Future studies should investigate whether a 2-step EWGSOP2 assessment is simpler and more informative for elderly individuals on hemodialysis.

Summary: This study aimed to assess whether plasma ceramides can serve as independent prognostic markers for mortality among the oldest-old population. The results showed that plasma ceramide concentration, especially Cer(d18:1/1:60), was associated with increased mortality. These findings suggest that plasma ceramides may offer a clinically useful biomarker for evaluating prognosis in very old age.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical risk factors for peritoneal dialysis (PD) withdrawal at different dialysis duration. The results showed that patients who maintained PD for longer than 10 years were younger, had lower prevalence of diabetes, better nutrition status, absence of inflammation, better residual kidney function, and higher proportion of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) usage at baseline. Absence of inflammation and use of RASi were independently associated with long-term PD maintenance.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic pain is a major risk factor for depression. Other factors such as gender, residential address, changes in health status, and physical disabilities also contribute to depression.
