Abstract
The SGA score is a significant predictor of HRQoL physical health. Given that nutritional status impacts HRQoL and that decreased HRQoL in patients on MHD is associated with mortality, complications, and reduced compliance with treatment, using the SGA to measure nutritional status can be a tool to help identify dialysis patients with a lower HRQoL in terms of physical health.
