Abstract P363: Incremental Prognostic Value of Exercise Capacity in Patients With Advanced Renal Insufficiency

Background: Exercise capacity has been shown to predict outcomes in the general population. However, patients with advanced renal failure have been typically excluded from these studies. The aim of this analysis is to evaluate the incremental prognostic value of exercise capacity in patients with Stage III and IV renal insufficiency. Methods: We included 3733 consecutive patients with glomerular filtration rate Results: A total of 946, 2026 and 761 patients achieved >10, 4-10 and Conclusions: In this large cohort of advanced renal insufficiency patients, decreased exercise capacity adds incremental prognostic information and is independently associated with decreased survival over long follow-up duration.
