Healthcare Professionals' perspectives on prescribing DOACs to frail older patients; The DOAC-FRAIL questionnaire Open
Background DOACs are increasingly prescribed for atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism due to their ease of use and lack of monitoring requirements. Prescribing DOACs to frail older patients remains challenging due to higher bleed…

Validation and Performance of a Geriatric Early Warning Score (Gews) Versus the National Early Waring Score (News) in Predicting Clinical Deterioration in Frail Older Patients Open
Purpose: Early warning scores, such as the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), are less accurate in detecting clinical deterioration in frail older individuals due to age-related altered physiological responses. A Geriatric Early Warning …

Hemodynamic Monitoring During Hemodialysis Using Bioimpedance: A Comparison of Changes in Resistance Between Different Body Segments Open
Introduction Prevention of hemodynamic complications during hemodialysis remains challenging. Although whole body bioimpedance is well established in fluid status assessment, its use for dynamic or continuous recordings is limited. A segme…

Geriatric Assessment in Older Patients with Advanced Kidney Disease: A Key to Personalized Care and Shared Decision-Making—A Narrative Review Open
As the global population ages, so too does the prevalence of older people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Helping people age well with CKD and supporting older people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) to make personalized decisions r…

#2118 Monitoring hemodynamics in dialysis: on the feasibility of semi-continuous and multifrequency thoracic bioimpedance measurements by a wearable device Open
Background and Aims Hemodialysis patients face a high hemodynamic variability in blood pressure and fluid status, which contributes to their cardiovascular mortality. Currently, intradialytic hemodynamic monitoring has to rely on cuff-base…

The Feasibility of Semi-Continuous and Multi-Frequency Thoracic Bioimpedance Measurements by a Wearable Device during Fluid Changes in Hemodialysis Patients Open
Repeated single-point measurements of thoracic bioimpedance at a single (low) frequency are strongly related to fluid changes during hemodialysis. Extension to semi-continuous measurements may provide longitudinal details in the time patte…

The Feasibility of Semi-continuous and Multifrequency Thoracic Bioimpedance Measurements by a Wearable Device during Fluid Changes in Hemodialysis Patients Open
Repeated single-point measurements of thoracic bioimpedance at single (low)-frequency are strongly related to fluid changes during hemodialysis. Extension to semi-continuous measurements may provide longitudinal details in the time pattern…

Comparison of whole body versus thoracic bioimpedance in relation to ultrafiltration volume and systolic blood pressure during hemodialysis Open
We examined the role of whole body and thoracic bioimpedance in hemodynamic changes during hemodialysis. Whole body and thoracic bioimpedance signals were strongly related to ultrafiltration volume and moderately, negatively, to changes in…

Not all is what it seems like: Hypercalcemia in the older patient Open
An 84-year-old woman was admitted with a 1-week history of a urinary tract infection. Despite empirical antibiotic therapy polyuria, fatigue and general weakness persisted. Her medical background included type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic …

#3651 COMPARISON OF WHOLE-BODY VERSUS THORACIC BIOIMPEDANCE IN RELATION TO ULTRAFILTRATION VOLUME AND SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE DURING HEMODIALYSIS Open
Background and Aims In contrast to portable whole-body bioimpedance, which estimates fluid status at a single point in time, thoracic bioimpedance applied by a wearable device could enable continuous measurements. However, clinical experie…

The Effect of Dietician Education Program on Nutritional Knowledge, Dietary Intake and Phosphate Control in Patients with Renal Failure Open
Background: Limited fluid and electrolyte intake are part of standard diet of patients with renal failure on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). However, non-adherence is common and may be explained by patients’ insufficient nutritional knowle…
