Impact of hemodialysis session on handgrip strength
Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia, 2015 Handgrip strength (HGS) is a simple and reliable method with a good predictive clinical value for assessing muscle function of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). However, there is no consensus regarding the appropriate moment for performing the HGS measurement since the performance of the HGS can be influenced by fluid, electrolyte and blood ...

Handgrip strength measurement as a predictor of hospitalization costs [PDF]
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2014 Undernutrition status at hospital admission is related to increased hospital costs. Handgrip strength (HGS) is an indicator of undernutrition, but the ability of HGS to predict hospitalization costs has yet to be studied.To explore whether HGS measurement at hospital admission can predict patient's hospitalization costs.A prospective study was ...
