Equations for estimating resting energy expenditure in patients on peritoneal dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, determining energy expenditure is essential for recommending energy intake in nutrition management.

Objective

We aimed to develop and validate a resting energy expenditure (REE) equation for patients with PD and compare it to previously available REE equations in dialysis patients.

Design

This cross-sectional study enrolled 200 patients with PD from two hospitals in Beijing, China. Stepwise linear regression analysis was used to derive a new REE equation (eREE-PD) based on actual REE (aREE) measured using indirect calorimetry (IC) in the development dataset. The eREE-PD value was then validated with aREE in the validation dataset and compared with values from existing equations obtained in general populations and those
