Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) anemia is one of the main common comorbidities in patients undergoing End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Iron supplement and especially Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESA) have become the treatment of choice for that ane...
BACKGROUND: Cardiac valve calcification (CVC) is common in dialysis patients and associated with increased cardiovascular risk. However, early screening has been limited by cost concerns. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning mo...
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment is common but frequently undiagnosed in the dialysis population. We aimed to develop and validate a quick and accurate screening tool using machine-learning-based approaches in them.
The goal of this study was to expand our previously created prediction tool (PREDICT-AVF) and web app by estimating long-term primary and secondary patency of radiocephalic AVFs. The data source was 911 patients from PATENCY-1 and PATENCY-2 randomize...
