Frailty, dialysis initiation, and mortality in end-stage renal disease.
Arch Intern Med. 2012; (14): 1071-7
In light of the recent trend toward earlier dialysis initiation and its association with mortality among patients with end-stage renal disease, we hypothesized that frailty is associated with higher estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at dialysis start and may confound the relation between earlier dialysis initiation and mortality.
