Key Points

  • History of falls shows no significant association with muscle strength or mass in hemodialysis patients, indicating other factors may play a role.
  • Involving patients with end-stage renal disease, the analysis revealed no independent relationship between falls and muscle parameters.
  • The observational analysis explores sarcopenia parameters and its link to falls among patients receiving hemodialysis treatments.
  • Findings highlight the necessity for future longitudinal studies to uncover additional factors influencing fall risks in this population.

Abstract

History of falls was not independently associated with muscle strength or mass in ESRD patients on HD. Future longitudinal studies are needed to investigate other factors associated with this outcome.
