Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients who underwent hemodialysis at the Gifu University Hospital between March 2017 and December 2019 were enrolled in the study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients aged <20 years, died, underwent plasma apheresis, plasma exchange and double filtration plasma therapy, and who had not maintained the dry weight were excluded from the analysis.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Patients' baseline characteristics are presented as median and interquartile range (IQR) for continuous variables, and frequency and proportion for categorical variables. For the primary analysis, a mixed effect model was used to assess the change in syndecan-1 levels with hemodialysis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The difference in syndecan-1 levels before and after hemodialysis in the anticoagulant subgroup was confirmed using paired t-test. A multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to compare the change in syndecan-1 levels before/after hemodialysis and treatment with anticoagulants. The covariates in the regression model were age, sex, dry weight, and dialysis period. In another model, dry weight and dialysis period were simultaneously incorporated into the linear regression model to evaluate the effect of factors during dialysis on levels of syndecan-1. An interaction term was included in the model to confirm the effect of modification of dry weight and dialysis period on the change in levels of syndecan-1. If the interaction term was statistically significant, the effect of dialysis period (or dry weight) on syndecan-1 was determined to be modified by dry weight (or dialysis period). A two-sided P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Because the test is exploratory and because of concerns about low statistical power, the interaction was evaluated with a two-sided P < 0.1. R version 4.1.0 was used for statistical analyses (www.r-project.org). | — |
