Study Notes

Nutritional and inflammatory disorders are linked to increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes and mortality in elderly hemodialysis (HD) patients.
A case–control study was carried out to examine nutritional and inflammation status, as well as body composition, in older HD patients compared to age- and sex-matched controls.
The study involved 168 participants, consisting of 84 HD patients (cases) and 84 controls.
Data was collected from medical records on demographics, clinical, anthropometric, and laboratory parameters.
The study was conducted at the Department of Pharmaceutical & Health Sciences, School of Pharmacy, Universidad San Pablo-CEU, and the Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario La Princesa.
