Methods. In this study, we tested the predictive value of the NYHA in patients with ESRD and compared it with that of two established indexes of disease severity, i.e. the Khan index and the renal disease severity score (RDSS). The study cohort was composed of 1322 incident patients in a dialysis registry (772 male and 550 female, age 61 +/- 16 years).
Background. The New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification is a strong predictor of mortality and an established instrument for risk stratification in patients with heart disease but data on the validity of this classification in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are sparse.
