A Nomogram Integrating CRP, eGFR, and BADL Scores for Predicting Short-Term Survival in Palliative Care Patients

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to develop a nomogram that integrates objective biomarkers (C-reactive protein and estimated glomerular filtration rate) and functional status (Barthel Activities of Daily Living score) to predict short-term survival in palliative care patients. Their model demonstrated strong predictive performance and clinical utility, offering a reliable tool for guiding personalized care decisions in a diverse patient population.
