In-Hospital Outcomes of Patients on Maintenance Dialysis With Frailty: 10-year Results From the US National Inpatient Sample Database
The in-hospital mortality rate of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is 6-8 times greater than that of the general population. A large fraction of patients with ESRD are frail, which further exacerbates this poor outcome. This study aimed to determine the impact of frailty on in-hospital outcomes of patients with ESRD.
