This prognostic tool was developed by Couchoud et al in response to the need for prognostic information on early death in incident elderly patients with end-stage renal disease.
This tool combines clinical factors to create a validated model that classifies incident elderly patients with end-stage renal disease according to their risk of early death in view of their potentially imminent need of supportive care, ethics advice or treatment adjustment.
