In maintenance hemodialysis patients, intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a frequent complication that has been associated with poor clinical outcomes. Prediction of IDH may facilitate timely interventions and eventually reduce rates.We developed machine learning model to predict in in-center patients 15-75 min advance. was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) <90 mmHg. Demographic, clinical, treatment-related laboratory data were retrieved from electronic health records merged sent...
Key Points We conducted a randomized controlled pilot trial in patients on hemodialysis using physiology-based individualized anemia therapy assistance software. Patients the group receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agent dose recommendations from novel software showed improvement hemoglobin stability and utilization. Background Anemia is common among hemodialysis. Maintaining stable levels within predefined target can be challenging, particularly with frequent fluctuations both above...
Abstract Introduction Segmental eight‐point bioimpedance has been increasingly used in practice. However, whether changes analysis components before and after hemodialysis (HD) using this technique a standing position is comparable to traditional whole‐body wrist‐to‐ankle method still unclear. We aimed investigate the differences between two devices (InBody 770 Seca mBCA 514) one (Hydra 4200) HD patients healthy subjects position. Methods Thirteen were studied pre‐ post‐HD, 12 once. Four...
This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the efficacy of transurethral surgery in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients. Patients with BPH who underwent West China Hospital Shang Jin were enrolled. retrospectively involved as training group prospectively recruited validation nomogram. Logistic regression analysis was utilized generate surgery. The discrimination assessed using area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) calibration plots applied...
Abstract Background and Aims The study of intradialytic oxygen saturation (SO2) in hemodialysis (HD) patients is a significant yet under-explored area. This study's objective was to evaluate the epidemiological aspects SO2 during HD. Method levels HD were measured using Crit-Line Monitor (CLM; Fresenius Medical Care North America, Waltham, MA), device certified by US Food Drug Administration (FDA) for measurement hematocrit extracorporeal circuit. CLM measurements recorded at 10-second...
Abstract Background and Aims The rising diversity of food preferences the desire to provide better personalized care challenges renal dietitians working in dialysis clinics. To address this situation, we explored use a Large Language Model (LLM), specifically, ChatGPT using GPT-4 model (openai.com), support nutritional advice given patients. Method We applied prompt that allows us consider various factors determine dietary recommendations, menu options, analysis. integrates several domains,...
Abstract Background and Aims Long-COVID is defined as persistent symptoms after COVID-19 infection. It has been reported that up to 40% of survivors experience long-COVID (O'Mahoney et al. The Lancet, 2023). We aim determine if hemodialysis (HD) patients long-COVID. Method HD diagnosed with via RT-PCR test were enrolled from January April 2022 4 clinics in New York City. Yorkshire Rehabilitation Scale (C19-YRS) was administered at baseline (i.e., soon possible diagnosis), 1 6 months...
Abstract Background and Aims In hemodialysis (HD) patients, arteriovenous (AV) access aneurysms may lead to severe potentially life-threatening consequences, such as rupture. To address this issue, we developed an artificial intelligence-based application that utilizes images of the AV classify [1]. We conducted a blinded, multicenter, prospective pilot study assess correlation between classification results generated by aneurysm independent clinical examination physicians specializing in...
Abstract Background and Aims Long COVID comprises a broad range of persistent symptoms that emerge after COVID-19 can last for months or years have direct impact on daily life. Cognitive impairment loss short-term memory are examples associated with long COVID. To date, there neither generally agreed-upon diagnostic criteria nor effective treatments available. A recent study found an association serotonin deficiency in the general population [1], leading to vagal dysfunction impaired...
The present study aimed to determine whether the number of patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who preferred surgery decreased during past 11 years at our center (West China Hospital, Chengdu, China), and this change affected timing physical condition surgical patients. This retrospective included 57 557 BPH treated from January 2008 December 2018. Of these, 5427 were surgically. Surgical divided into two groups based on time treatment (groups 8–13 13–18). collected...
Constipation is prevalent in patients with kidney failure partly due to the use of medication, such as phosphate binders. We hypothesized that serum levels gut microbiome-derived uremic toxins (UTOX) may be affected by choice binder putatively through its impact on colonic transit time. investigated two commonly prescribed binders, sevelamer carbonate (SEV) and sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFO), their association UTOX hemodialysis (HD) patients.Weekly blood samples were collected from 16 anuric...
