Hospitalization during the past 12 mo was identified in the patient’s clinic records, and the first hospitalization after gait speed assessment (or the competing event of death) was identifed in the 2013 United States Renal Data System Standard Analysis Files.characterized 34.7% of the patients, and 27.1% had experienced a recent fall. Patients with slow gait speed but without a history of recent falls were 1.79 times more likely to have been hospitalized during the past 12 mo (OR = 1.79, 95%CI: 1.11-2.88, P = 0.02), and patients with slow gait speed and a history of recent falls were over two times more likely to have been hospitalized (OR = 2.10, 95%CI: 1.19-3.73, P = 0.01), compared with patients having faster gait speed and no recent fall history. Prospective examination of gait speed/fall history status in relation to frst hospitaliza-tion (or death) incurred by the end of follow-up Decem-ber 31, 2011 also showed that slow gait speed was as-sociated with these events in conjunction with a history of falls (HR = 1.54, 95%CI: 1.04-2.30, P = 0.03).CONCLUSION: The International Task Force on Nutri-tion and Aging reported that gait speed is a powerful predictor for older adults of adverse outcomes such as hospitalization. In our data, gait speed-apart from, as well as in conjunction with, recent fall history-was as-sociated with HD patients’ hospitalization for multiple causes. Gait speed may be a sensitive health indicator among HD patients across the age spectrum.展开更多
