Description
Xiaolong Wang, Jian Yang, Yanjun Liang, Zheyi Dong, and Shuang Liang built a 2026 index to predict death in kidney disease. Muscle loss and long-term swelling often occur together in this disease and both worsen outlook. Care lacked a single score that joins the two.
The index weights muscle status and swelling markers using results from a main study group of five hundred thirty-nine patients. It was then tested in two large public data sets from other settings. Across all groups, nearly five thousand patients were included. Both muscle loss and high swelling raised death risk on their own, with effects that added up. The score was checked with standard accuracy tests and subgroup checks.
