Implication

Cross-sectional study examines phase angle's relationship with nutritional status and quality of life in hemodialysis patients, suggesting its clinical relevance.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the correlation between phase angle and both nutritional status and quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
  • Cross-sectional study conducted with 98 hemodialysis patients.
  • Nutritional status assessed using Nutritional Risk Score-2002 and Malnutrition Inflammation Score.
  • Quality of life evaluated through the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form-36.
  • Mean phase angle was 5.1˚ ± 1.1˚; cutoff point identified at 4.85˚.
  • Patients with phase angle < 4.85˚ presented with higher malnutrition inflammation score and nutritional risk score.
  • Quality of life scores were higher in patients with phase angle > 4.85˚ compared to those with lower values.
