Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of all-cause mortality during 3 yearss for estimated albumin leakage (high vs. low) in HD and OHDF | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Comparison of all-cause mortality during 3 years in groups divided by estimated albumin leakage (high and low) and serum albumin concentration (high and low) in HD and OHDF 2. Direct comparison of HD and OHDF on all-cause mortality during 3 years divided by the same ranges of estimated albumin leakage (less than 2.5g, 2.5g or more and less than 5.0g, 5.0g or more and less than 7.5g) 3. Direct comparison of estimated albumin leakage and the substitution volume in pre-OHDF and post-OHDF on all-cause mortality during 3 years | — |
