Association of Malnutrition-Inflammation Score With Quality of Life and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients: A 5-Year Prospective Cohort Study

In HD patients, the MIS is associated with inflammation, nutritional status, quality of life, and 5-year prospective mortality. The mortality predictability of the MIS appears equal to serum interleukin 6 and somewhat greater than C-reactive protein levels. Controlled trials are warranted to examine whether interventions to improve the MIS can also improve clinical outcomes in HD patients.
