Relationship between frailty, as assessed using the Kihon Checklist, and falls in hemodialysis patients: a multicenter prospective cohort study
Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at a high risk of frailty, falls, and fractures. The Kihon checklist (KCL) consists of physical function, cognitive function, oral function, nutritional status, depressed mood, activities of daily living, and social participation. This study aimed to clarify the association between falls in HD patients and frailty as assessed using the KCL, as well as scores and each domain.
