A holistic framework for intradialytic hypotension prediction using generative adversarial networks-based data balancing.

Background: Intradialytic Hypotension (IDH) is a frequent complication in hemodialysis, yet predictive modeling is challenged by class imbalance. Traditional oversampling methods often struggle with complex clinical data. This study evaluates an enhanced conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network with Gradient Penalty (CWGAN-GP) framework to improve IDH prediction by generating high-utility synthetic data for balancing.

Real-Time Internet of Medical Things System for Detecting Blood Leakage during Hemodialysis Using a Novel Multiple Concentric Ring Sensor.

Venous needle dislodgement (VND) is a major healthcare safety concern in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Although VND is uncommon, it can be life-threatening. The main objective of this study was to implement a real-time multi-bed monitoring system for VND by combining a novel leakage-detection device and IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) technology.

Epidemiology and outcomes of hypoglycemia in patients with advanced diabetic kidney disease on dialysis: A national cohort study.

Background: Patients with advanced diabetic kidney disease (DKD) behave differently to diabetic patients without kidney disease. We aimed to investigate the associations of hypoglycemia and outcomes after initiation of dialysis in patients with advanced DKD on dialysis.

Methods: Using National Health Insurance Research Database, 20,845 advanced DKD patients beginning long-term dialysis between 2002 and 2006 were enrolled.

Hypothyroidism is associated with all-cause mortality in a national cohort of chronic haemodialysis patients.

Aim: The prevalence of hypothyroidism is high in haemodialysis (HD) patients and hypothyroidism increases all-cause mortality in HD patients. Comorbidities are common in HD patients and are associated with both mortality and hypothyroidism. The aim of the study is to explore the effect of the interactions of comorbidities and hypothyroidism on all-cause mortality in HD patients.
