Development of a Predictive Energy Equation for Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Pilot Study
Conclusions: Predictive models (MHDE) including selective demographic, clinical, and anthropometric data explained less than 50% variance of mREE but had better precision in determining energy requirements for MHD patients when compared with MSJE. Further research is necessary to improve predictive models of mREE in the MHD population and to test its validity and clinical application.
