Low adequacy rates (~35-40%) in this setting warrant delivery optimization; leaves open whether interventions improve outcomes in similar populations.
A low proportion of patients on chronic hemodialysis in Dar es Salaam achieve adequate dialysis doses, emphasizing the need for routine monitoring.
Somji et al. (2020) studied this question.
