Abstract
We read with great interest the recent article ‘Risk Prediction Models for Frailty in Adult Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Systematic Review and Methodological Appraisal’ by Zhang et al. (2025), an important contribution to the field of predictive modelling in nephrology. The authors adeptly summarised methodological challenges and highlighted the critical gaps in the development and validation of frailty prediction models. However, through a deeper reflection, we would like to revisit and expand upon certain aspects of their findings, particularly regarding the methodological rigour, clinical utility, and future directions for research and implementation.
