Handgrip strength and body mass index exhibit good predictive value for sarcopenia in patients on peritoneal dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The diagnosis of sarcopenia in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) in clinics is limited owing to its relatively complicated process and the need for expensive assessment equipment. This study aimed to develop and validate sex-specific nomogram models based on body mass index (BMI), handgrip strength, and other routine follow-up examination indicators to predict sarcopenia in patients on PD.

Methods

From March 2023 to February 2024, 699 eligible patients were recruited from the PD centers of two tertiary hospitals in southeastern China. Routine follow-up examination indicators such as age, BMI, biochemical indicators, dialysis adequacy, handgrip strength, and five-repetition sit-to-stand test, were used as potential predictive variables. Multivariate logistic regression
