The Impact of Change in Body Roundness Index on the Clinical Outcome of New Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Weight gain and central obesity are common in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. In the general population, body roundness index (BRI) has been found to be a convenient anthropometric measurement for the assessment of central obesity and visceral adiposity. However, the role of BRI in PD patients has not been explored.

Methods

We recruited 145 new PD patients. BRI, body composition by bioimpedance spectroscopy, and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) were measured at baseline and then after 1 year of PD. Patients were stratified into four groups based on their changes in BRI after 1 year of PD, using the traditional BRI cutoff of 5. Outcome measures include patient survival and hospitalization rate.
