Bowel health in chronic kidney disease: Patient perceptions differ from clinical definitions
ConclusionsIt is common for patients with CKD to experience signs and symptoms of abnormal bowel health. There is a disconnect between patient perceptions and clinical definitions of normal or abnormal bowel health. Clinical care team members must carefully obtain and clarify patient‐reported symptoms related to bowel function in order to help ensure recommendations and use of appropriate treatments.

Performance measures for a dialysis setting
ConclusionsImportant guidelines for designing a holistic hospital/clinic management system were yielded. Performance measures must be balanced for outcomes and performance shaping factors (PSF); a common set of performance measures could be applied to all the healthcare settings, although performance indicators of each measure should be composed based on the application field and setting; in addition, sound causal relationships between PSF and outcome measures/indicators should be explored for further improvement.

Children tolerate intradialytic oral nutrition
ConclusionThe study demonstrates that our children and adolescents feel better after eating on HD with minimal adverse effects. The finding that hungry patients are more likely to feel better despite having a higher likelihood of an adverse effect demonstrates the tolerability of eating on HD. Intradialytic oral nutrition could be a safe and well‐tolerated opportunity to provide supplemental nutrition to paediatric HD patients and improve outcomes. (Source: Journal of Renal Care)
