Admission kidney function is a strong predictor for the response to nutritional support in patients at nutritional risk

Summary Background Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at substantial risk of malnutrition, which negatively affects clinical outcomes. We investigated the association function assessed hospital admission and effectiveness nutritional support in hospitalized medical patients malnutrition. Methods This is a secondary analysis an investigator-initiated, randomized-controlled, Swiss multicenter trial (EFFORT) that compared individualised usual food on effects mortality subgroups stratified according to time (estimated glomerular filtration rates [eGFR] Results included 1943 2028 (96%) from original known creatinine levels. Admission eGFR was strong predictor for beneficial regard lowering 30-day mortality. Conclusion In inpatients risk, response therapy. Initial may help individualize future by identification most benefit. Clinical registration Registered under ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier no. NCT02517476.
