  1. Modified creatinine index is associated with mortality in humans (incident peritoneal dialysis patients) (P = .013).

    “For incident PD patients, MCrI quartile was significantly associated with the risk of death from all cause in 12 months (Gray's test, P = .013)”

  2. Modified creatinine index predicts mortality in humans (patients undergoing hemodialysis) (adjusted HR 2.51 (95% CI, 1.16-5.41; p = 0.019)).

    “compared with those in the high mCI group, subjects in the low mCI group had a higher risk of death for all causes (adjusted HR, 2.51; 95% CI, 1.16-5.41; p = 0.019)”

  1. Modified creatinine index is associated with skeletal muscle mass in peritoneal dialysis patients (r = .684, P < .0001).

    “The MCrI during PD significantly correlated with the muscle mass by creatinine kinetics (r = .684, P < .0001)”

All-cause death

1 study
  1. Modified creatinine index is linked with a higher risk of all-cause death in humans (per 1 standard deviation decrease) (HR 3.00, 95% CI 2.19–4.09).

    “lower mCI (hazard ratio 3.00; 95% confidence interval 2.19, 4.09) and lower GNRI (hazard ratio 1.76; 95% confidence interval 1.45, 2.13) per 1 standard deviation decrease were associated with a higher risk of all-cause death”
