Multivariable prognostic model for dialysis patients with end stage renal disease: An observational cohort study of Pakistan by external validation.
To develop an externally validated multivariable prognostic model for an underprivileged dialysis population. ⋯ We developed an externally validated model that contained 5 routinely collected prognosticators and confirmed its calibration and discrimination abilities in obtaining reliable prognostic estimates in developing countries. The model will assist clinicians in deciding the prognosis of dialysis patients. The application of this model in different clinical settings of developing countries can indicate interesting findings regarding public health.
