Abstract
BCM-diagnosed malnutrition in chronic hemodialysis patients is an independent predictor of mortality at up to 54Â months follow-up and is associated with a 1.66-fold higher risk of dying compared with normal nutrition status. Whether intervention (e.g., nutritional supplementation) might improve nutrition and reduce the higher risk of mortality in malnutrition patients on hemodialysis remains a challenge for future research.
