Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Fatigue in Patients on Hemodialysis: A Systematic Review.
(2017-11)
BACKGROUND: Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom in patients receiving hemodialysis. We aimed to identify and evaluate the characteristics and psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures for ...
Creation of an arteriovenous fistula is associated with significant acute local and systemic changes in microvascular function.
(2013-08)
BACKGROUND: Native arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are the vascular access of choice for haemodialysis. The consequences of AVF formation on microvascular function, locally or systemically, are unknown. METHODS: We recruited ...
Patient Perspectives on the Meaning and Impact of Fatigue in Hemodialysis: A Systematic Review and Thematic Analysis of Qualitative Studies.
(2019-08)
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Fatigue is a highly prevalent and debilitating symptom in patients on hemodialysis therapy due to the uremic milieu, the hemodialysis treatment itself, and other comorbid conditions. However, fatigue ...
Identifying dimensions of fatigue in haemodialysis important to patients,caregivers, and health professionals: an international survey.
(2019-07)
BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures of fatigue used in research in haemodialysis vary widely in the dimensions assessed; and the importance of these dimensions to patients and health professionals is unknown. ...
Tissue-advanced glycation end product concentration in dialysis patients.
(2010-01)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Tissue-advanced glycation end products (AGE) are a measure of cumulative metabolic stress. Assessment of tissue AGE by skin autofluoresence (AF) correlates well with cardiovascular outcomes in ...
Intensive Hemodialysis and Health-Related Quality of Life.
(2016-11)
Diminished health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is common in dialysis patients and associated with increased risks for morbidity and mortality. Patients may present limitations in both physical and mental HRQoL. Poor ...
Development of a trigger tool to detect harm during haemodialysis
(2016)
Haemodialysis is a widely used renal replacement therapy that is associated with multiple risks for patients. Monitoring of harm associated with haemodialysis is often limited to reporting of critical incidents, which is ...
Establishing a Core Outcome Measure for Fatigue in Patients on Hemodialysis: A Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Hemodialysis (SONG-HD) Consensus Workshop Report.
(2018-03)
Fatigue is one of the most highly prioritized outcomes for patients and clinicians, but remains infrequently and inconsistently reported across trials in hemodialysis. We convened an international Standardized Outcomes in ...
Epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia amongst patients receiving dialysis for established renal failure in England in 2009 to 2011: a joint report from the Health Protection Agency and the UK Renal Registry.
(2012-09)
INTRODUCTION: Infection remains one of the leading causes of death in patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) receiving dialysis. Since April 2007, all centres providing renal replacement therapy in England have been ...
Understanding the scale of non-adherence with haemodialysis
(2017-01)
Non-adherence significantly impacts patient care and outcomes, and has been associated with increased mortality. In this article, Kelly White and Richard Fluck discuss the results of a recent study into why dialysis sessions ...
