Demographic and clinical data (age, sex, marital status, education level, monthly income, duration of dialysis, and primary renal disease) were collected. The Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was used to score the patients’ comorbidities. The CCI includes 19 comorbidities, which are weighted according to the severity of the corresponding chronic disease [16 (link)]. Lin et al [17 (link)] found that the CCI is a strong predictor of outcomes in patients on MHD and correlates with hospitalization. Fasting blood samples before dialysis and biochemistry data (albumin [Alb], hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine [Scr], calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone, total cholesterol, and triglycerides) were analyzed using an automatic chemistry analyzer (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
