Description
Koji Onozawa and co-authors follow dialysis patients aged 75 and older over five years in a 2026 study. Japan dialysis population keeps aging, and older patients carry more illness, frailty, and nutrition risk. Real-world outcome data from regional hospitals for this group stayed limited.
All maintenance dialysis patients at a Fukuoka regional hospital on December 1, 2017 were split at age 75 and followed to death or December 2022. Baseline traits, lab values, gut bleeding, and fractures were pulled from records. Five-year death was the main outcome. The authors compare older and younger groups to guide counseling and complication watch in everyday regional practice, where most such patients actually receive care.
