Abstract

【Abstract】 Objective To explore the predictive value of physical fitness to mortality among MHD patients. Methods We used the convenience sampling method to recruit 317 patients from 5 major hospitals in Guangzhou city. The Human Activity Profile (HAP) was used to assess physical fitness among MHD patients. Conclusion Physical fitness can be used to predict the mortality among MHD patients. Patients with higher physical fitness will have higher survival rate. Accordingly, it is necessary to assess physical fitness and provide health instructions about physical activities to lower the mortality in MHD patients.

Key words： Maintenance hemodialysis; Physical fitness; Mortality; Survival analysis
