It covers key demographic data from DOPPS (1996-2000), including age distribution, comorbidities, malnourishment factors, nutritional parameters, anemia control, dialysis adherence, and mortality risks. The findings aim to improve understanding and support healthcare providers in enhancing care for the aging population undergoing hemodialysis.
