When estimating the relative risk (RR) for EPO response, we found that those patients without PEW by MIS (≤6) and by phase angle, (≥5), have a risk of response to treatment with EPO, (RR = 0.562 [CI 95% 0.329–0.961]) and (RR = 0.068 [CI95% 0.39–1.184]) as compared to those with PEW; however, the phase angle RR did not reach statistical significance.
