BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common medical condition that is
increasing in prevalence. Existing published evidence has revealed through regression …

Background Adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of heart failure
(HF) morbidity and mortality. Despite well-characterized abnormalities in cardiac structure in …

Aim: To derive an echocardiography-based prognostic score for a 3-year risk of mortality in
end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Methods: 173 …

Focusing largely on end-stage renal disease, this Viewpoint outlines some
echocardiographic indices of left ventricular function, and examines their prognostic value in …

Introduction: Current prognostic models for chronic kidney disease (CKD) are complex and
were designed to predict a single outcome. We aimed to develop and validate a simple and …

Introduction The Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) is a clinical tool widely used to predict
progression from chronic kidney disease (CKD) to kidney failure. This study aimed to …

Background. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with increased
cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Echocardiographic measures of heart structure …

Background Accurate risk prediction is needed in order to provide personalized healthcare
for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. An overload of prognosis studies is being …

Background: Death and dialysis are competing outcomes in patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD). The factors associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) versus death in …

Prognostic models can strongly support individualized care provision and well-informed
shared decision-making. There has been an upsurge of prognostic research in the field of …
