Abstract:
Objective To investigate the incidence of frailty and its impact on falls of patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Methods 186 MHD patients meeting the criteria were recruited.The patient's general clinical data were collected.Frailty was assessed using a frailty questionnaire in all participants with prospective study. Results 70 patients contracted frailty,with the incidence of 37.6%.56 patients happened to fall,with the incidence of 30.1%.Logistic multivariate regression analysis confirmed that diabetes,peripheral vascular disease,IDH and frailty were independent risk factors of the falls.Conclusions MHD patients are at a high risk of falls and frailty.Frailty is an independent factor for predicting falls,which is of great significance for identifying patients with high risk of falls.
