Figure 1 Predictive nomogram for the risk of sarcopenia in patients on maintenance dialysis (MHD). Each risk factor can obtain the corresponding score by referring to the score scale of the first row. The score of all existing risk factors is summed to obtain the total score. The total score is used to obtain the corresponding probability of sarcopenia in MHD patients.
