Implication

Prospective analysis found correlations between ophthalmic scores and vascular calcification in patients, indicating utility in monitoring conditions.

Key Points

The CCC score can predict vascular calcification in maintenance hemodialysis patients, highlighting its diagnostic potential.
Mean coronary artery calcium scores were significantly different, with 354.6 in mild vs. 1,494.2 in moderate/severe groups.
Patients were graded based on corneal and conjunctival calcification severity using a score validated with imaging techniques.
Significantly higher parathyroid hormone levels and lower ejection fractions were noted in patients with more severe calcification.
