On 2017 Sep 19, NephJC - Nephrology Journal Club commented:

This trial of extending hemodialysis hours and quality of life was discussed on September 12th and September 13th 2017 on #NephJC, the open online nephrology journal club. Introductory comments written by Swapnil Hiremath are available at the NephJC website here .

The highlights of the tweetchat were:

• The study was well-designed and relevant.

• Interpreting the results, can you validly fit a linear model to a questionnaire score?

• Some would argue that including both incident and prevalent patients may have confounded some of the results as LV mass regresses in the first few months after initiation.

• This paper confirmed previous literature that preserving residual renal function is really essential for better outcomes on dialysis and that HD dose should track with this.

• Fluid control may be more important than solute clearance.

Transcripts of the tweetchats, and curated versions as storify will be shortly available from the NephJC website.
