Baseline eGFR and serum albumin were identified as independent predictors of 1-year mortality in CKD G5 patients.
Among 109 patients, 56.9% died during follow-up, highlighting the mortality risk in this population.
Palliative Performance Scale strongly correlated with survival, offering a tool for timely palliative care transition.
Clinical implications suggest that personalized care pathways can be developed based on these mortality predictors.
