Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims Survival study in Advanced CKD patients according to age, MIS and phase angle Method We studied 225 patients with ACKD, 153 men (68.3%), xage 70.09±12.72 years. We analyze survival at 120 months and how the Phase angle (PA) and MIS scale influence mortality. We chose these parameters, one of body composition (BIA-vector) and the MIS malnutrition-inflammation scale, since they are described as independent predictive factors. Results We defined the cut-off point for PA with the ROC curve, appearing as 3.75 (sensitivity 67% and specificity 55%). With 83 (37.1%) ≤3.75 and 141 (62.9%) greater than 3.75 PA, with significance between men and women p0.001. Analyzing the % of deaths with PA with PC- 3.75 there is a significant difference between groups p0.001 with difference between men and women With a cut-off point of 5 for MIS, we established 162 (72.3%) with ≤5 and 82 (22.7%) with MIS>5. Analyzing the % of deaths according to MIS strata, there is a significant difference p 0.001, Sig difference between men and women p0.021 We define with COR cut-off point age = 70.5 years sens 85% spec 63% 79 patients (64.6%) died in 120 months, 53/152 (65.1%) men and 45/71 (63.4%) women pns. xage deceased 76.39±9.16 vs 66.63±13.14 years p0.001. The survival curves for the 3 variables by Kaplan Meier are significant with the established cut-off points (Fig. 1). In the univariate analysis we found that age (CP-70.5 years) p0.001, and PA (CP-3.75) p0.04 are significant, but not MIS(CP-5). In the Cox analysis we evaluated age, PA and MIS, with age appearing as a priority, followed by PA and finally the statistical MIS Wald 18.73, 3.77 and 2.26 respectively. Conclusion 1-Age, phase angle and MIS are independent mortality risk factors for ACKD patients. 2-In the multivariate model Age and phase angle are predictors of mortality. 3-Independent of age, the phase angle is the best predictor of mortality.
