Bayesian Analysis of Frailty Risk Factors in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Frailty in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is associated with increased risk of adverse health outcomes. Understanding the contributing factors to frailty in this population is crucial for developing targeted interventions and improving patient care. The objective of this study is to identify and quantify potential risk factors associated with frailty in chronic kidney disease patients.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) cohorts of 2011 and 2015. A Bayesian mixed-effects logistic regression model was utilized to analyze the relationship between selected features and frailty in chronic kidney disease.

Results

Of 1,924 participants, about one-third (n = 634) w
