Key result
Compared to total autonomy, being not self-sufficient was associated with an increased risk of mortality in chronic hemodialysis patients (HR 1.71; 95% CI 1.47-1.99; p for trend < 0.05).

May signal higher mortality risk in incident hemodialysis patients; leaves open whether functional interventions improve survival.
Cohort (n=3,356)
Yes
Hazard Ratio: 1.71 (95% CI 1.47–1.99)
p-value: p=< 0.05
Bossola et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in chronic hemodialysis (n=3,356). Functional impairment vs. Total autonomy was evaluated on mortality (HR 1.71, 95% CI 1.47-1.99, p=< 0.05). Compared to total autonomy, being not self-sufficient was associated with an increased risk of mortality in chronic hemodialysis patients (HR 1.71; 95% CI 1.47-1.99; p for trend < 0.05).
