Hemoglobin level variability: anemia management among variability groups.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Hemoglobin level variability in hemodialysis patients is common, and has been associated with comorbidity, intercurrent illness, and mortality risk. We aimed to describe the influence of anemia management interventions (erythropoiesis-stimulating agents [ESAs], intravenous iron, and transfusions) on hemoglobin variability. METHODS We studied all Medicare primary payer hemodial...
متن کاملIndividualized anemia management reduces hemoglobin variability in hemodialysis patients.
One-size-fits-all protocol-based approaches to anemia management with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) may result in undesired patterns of hemoglobin variability. In this single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we tested the hypothesis that individualized dosing of ESA improves hemoglobin variability over a standard population-based approach. We enrolled 62 hemodialysi...
متن کاملAnemia management in chronic kidney disease: bursting the hemoglobin bubble.
Until the approval of recombinant erythropoietin therapy in 1989, many patients receiving dialysis were severely anemic and needed transfusions to maintain a hemoglobin level greater than 70 g/L. Recombinant erythropoietin was greeted as a panacea for anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and was approved for use with considerable fanfare, relatively little clinical trial data, and few reserva...
متن کاملDetermining Optimum Structure for Artificial Neural Networks
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have attracted increasing attention from researchers in many fields, including economics, medicine and computer processing, and have been used to solve a wide range of problems. In remote sensing research, ANN classifiers have been used for many investigations such as land cover mapping, image compression, geological mapping, and meteorological image classifica...
متن کاملDetermination of Optimal Sampling Design for Spatial Data Analysis
Extended Abstract. Inferences for spatial data are affected substantially by the spatial configuration of the network of sites where measurements are taken. Consider the following standard data-model framework for spatial data. Suppose a continuous, spatially-varying quantity, Z, is to be observed at a predetermined number, n, of points ....[ To Countinue Click here]
