BACKGROUND The malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS) is an indicator of malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome and an outcome-predictor in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. However, its utility in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and its association with the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) have not yet been examined. METHODS All chronic stable PD outpatients in the PD center of N...

Abstract Background and Aims Malnutrition often coexists with inflammation atherosclerosis is associated adverse clinical outcomes in dialysis patients. However, both prevalence prognostic significance of preexisting malnutrition patients peripheral artery disease (PAD) referred for endovascular therapy are not well known. Method A prospective cohort 395 undergoing PAD between 2005 2019 was stu...

BACKGROUND Malnutrition, inflammation and poor quality of life are prevalent among hemodialysis (HD) patients. Health-related quality of life is an important determinant of hospitalization and mortality in HD patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between quality of life and malnutrition-inflammation status according to subjective global assessment (SGA) and ...

Introduction: Infants and young children are the most vulnerable group to malnutrition. Malnutrition can cause child growth disorders. Child growth measurement is a basic instrument to measure the child malnutrition. This study was conducted to determine the malnutrition prevalence in children 2-6 years of age in Kerman rural kindergartens. Methods: The c...

Childhood malnutrition remains a major challenge to public health in poor countries. Data on malnutrition determinants in African children are scarce. A cross-sectional survey was performed in eight villages of Burkina Faso in June 2009, including 460 children aged 6-31 months. Demographic, socioeconomic, parasitological, clinical and anthropometric characteristics were collected. The main outc...

although protein-calorie malnutrition is common among the hemodialysis patients and is associated with increased rates of morbidity and mortality, assessment of nutritional status of these patients is frequently ignored in many dialysis centers. malnutrition can be estimated using a semiquantitative scale, subjective global assessment (sga) but subjective nature of this scale restricts its reli...
