Neither the high transport nor the inherent UFF status has any influence on patient and technique survival. The inherent high small solute transport status is associated with hypoalbuminaemia and a greater comorbidity index. The Charlson index, age and lower RRF are the only independent predictors of mortality. Technique dropout is not predicted by any of the variables studied at the baseline.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
