Abstract

We now face a paradigm shift in clinical practice and research of dialysis from evidence-based medicine outcomes to patient-reported outcomes (PROs). It is imperative to establish a daily practice pattern based on the PROs, namely “patient-centered dialysis care.” In 2005, we introduced the concept of “patient-oriented dialysis,” which includes two fundamental components; adjustment of the dialysis prescription according to the PROs and nutritional intervention based on the global nutritional assessment. Routine examinations and team meetings were held to monitor the status of PROs and nutrition, and intervention plans were reevaluated. We found that the total score of the PROs was closely related to the survival rate of dialysis patients, and some of those were identified as independent mortality risk factors. These results might have shown that patient-centered dialysis care may improve the quality of life and the survival rate of dialysis patients. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a unique synthetic membrane for a dialyzer with protein adsorption property and biocompatibility. Several clinical advantages of PMMA were reported as ameliorating inflammatory status, nutritional status, skin itchiness, and dialysis-related fatigue. PMMA is a fundamental and major choice for improving PROs in patient-centered dialysis care.

  • The persistence of hypervolemia in 94.1% of the control group may justify the marked deterioration in the quality of hemodialysis in these patients, since excess fluid volume directly affects the quality of dialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease.

    “The persistence of hypervolemia in 94.1% of the CG may justify the marked deterioration in the quality of hemodialysis in these patients, since EFV directly affects the quality of dialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease.28”

  • Hypervolemia directly affects the quality of dialysis, and its elimination contributed to more effective dialysis.

    “Hypervolemia directly affects the quality of dialysis, and its elimination contributed to more effective dialysis.”

    From Effect of the fluid management nursing intervention on improving biochemical test results and dialysis therapy in chronic kidney disease patients: a randomized controlled trial (2025) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Dialysis Quality Evaluation section discusses dialysis quality in terms of solute removal, biocompatibility, and patient-reported outcomes, not hypervolemia. Searches for hypervolemia, fluid overload, volume status, and fluid removal found no passage saying that eliminating hypervolemia made dialysis more effective.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
