Prognostication of Mental Health Risk Clusters on Hospitalization and Mortality in Patients With Coexisting Diabetes and Kidney Failure: The Hidden Burden of Loneliness.

Individuals with comorbid diabetes and kidney failure have poor clinical prognosis, often aggravated by psychological distress. Identifying individuals most at risk is crucial to improving service provision. This study aimed to identify psychosocial profiles in patients with diabetes and kidney failure, model their prognostic effects on hospitalization and mortality, and explore underlying mechanisms linking psychosocial health to clinical outcomes.

Prospective cohort study.

Setting & participants

A total of 221 participants with coexisting diabetes and kidney failure (median age: 59 years, 60.6% men) receiving hemodialysis were recruited from the National Kidney Foundation Singapore's dialysis centers.
