Why the study?
Are postdialysis weights >2 kg above and below target weight associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients?
Are postdialysis weights >2 kg above and below target weight associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients?
Deviations of >2 kg from target postdialysis weight are associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, highlighting the importance of consistent target weight achievement.
Supports closer postdialysis weight monitoring in hemodialysis; leaves open whether interventions improve survival.
Postdialysis weights >2 kg above and below target weight are associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Consistent target weight achievement is a viable target for improving fluid management.
