The Efficacy and Safety of Technology-Guided Dry Weight Adjustment Among Dialysis Patients: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Recently, various instrumental techniques adjunct to standard clinical evaluation have been used to improve fluid balance and guide dry weight adjustments in dialysis populations. We aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of using technology-guided dry weight adjustment among dialysis patients.

Study design

Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for relevant RCTs published until April 28, 2024.

Setting & participants

Adult patients with kidney failure with replacement therapy.

Exposure

Studies with patients receiving technology-guided dry weight adjustments.

Outcomes
